Answer:

  • Photophosphorylation is the conversion of ADP to ATP using the energy of sunlight by activation of PSII.
  • Photophosphorylation is the light-dependent reaction, which occurs in the chloroplasts of the plant cells, specifically, in the thylakoid membranes.
  • Depending upon the path of electrons in the electron-transport-system of the primary photochemical reaction, there are two types of photophosphorylation processes. They are

(1) Cyclic photophosphorylation and

(2) Noncyclic photophosphorylation

hope this help u

Answer:

n the process of photosynthesis, the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP using the energy of sunlight is called photophosphorylation. Cyclic photophosphorylation occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Only two sources of energy are available to living organisms: sunlight and reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions. All organisms produce ATP, which is the universal energy currency of life. In photosynthesis this commonly involves photolysis, or photodissociation, of water and a continuous unidirectional flow of electrons from water to photosystem II.

In photophosphorylation, light energy is used to create a high-energy electron donor and a lower-energy electron acceptor. Electrons then move spontaneously from donor to acceptor through an electron transport chain..
