Study Notes

Cyclic Electron Flow

Cyclic electron flow occurs in the thylakoid membrane.
It is a mechanism of ATP production.

Light-Dependent Reactions

The first photosystem absorbs light at a wavelength of 700 nm.
It is involved in the cyclic electron flow.

ATP Production

The cyclic electron flow produces ATP.
The ATP production occurs in the thylakoid membrane.

Calvin Cycle

The Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts.
The enzyme RuBiSCo (Rubisco) plays a crucial role in the Calvin cycle.
It catalyzes the reaction between carbon dioxide and RuBP.

Comparison of Photosystems

The first photosystem is involved in the cyclic electron flow.
The second photosystem is involved in the non-cyclic electron flow.
