Cyclic-photophosphorylation results in the formation of
Options
- ANADPH
- BATP and NADPH
- CATP, NADPH and O ₂
- DATP
Correct answer
D. ATP
Step-by-step solution
Cyclic-photophosphorylation involves only pigment system-I. When the photons activate PS-I, a pair of electrons are raised to a higher energy level. They are captured by primary acceptor, which passes them on to ferredoxin, plastoquinone, cytochrome complex, plastocyanin and finallyback to reaction centre of PS-I, ie, P ₇₀₀ . At each step of electron transfer, the electrons lose potential energy. Their trip down hill is caused by the transport chain to pump H ⁺ across the thylakoid membrane. The proton gradient thu
