Difference between Cyclic and Noncyclic Photophosphorylation

Asked by Mahek A · 2 years ago

Can you explain the difference between cyclic and noncyclic photophosphorylation in the process of photosynthesis?

1 Answer

In cyclic photophosphorylation, the electrons released from photosystem I are transferred back to the same photosystem, leading to the synthesis of ATP only. On the other hand, in noncyclic photophosphorylation, the electrons flow from photosystem II to photosystem I, resulting in the production of both ATP and NADPH.
