Options
- APS I
- BPS II
- CPS I and PS II
- DP ₆₈₀
Correct answer
A. PS I
Step-by-step solution
Cyclic photophosphorylation is a process of photophosphorylation in which an electron expelled by the excited photocentre is returned to it after passing through a series of electron carriers. Cyclic photophosphorylation is performed by photosystem I only. The electron is circulated within the photosystem and the phosphorylation occurs due to cyclic flow of electron. The excited electron does not pass on to NADP ⁺ but is cycled back to the PS I complex through the electron transport chain. The cyclic flow hence, re
