Photolysis
What is the difference between cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylation?
What is the difference between cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylation?
In cyclic photophosphorylation only photosystem I is used, no oxygen or reduced NADP is formed, and electrons lost from the chlorophyll molecule are returned to it, while in non-cyclic photophosphorylation, phosphorylation is light-dependent and the electrons lost from the chlorophyll are not recycled in any way.
