Solution
Cyclic photophosphorylation:
Cyclic photophosphorylation is the process by which organisms convert ADP to ATP for immediate energy for cells.
Cyclic photophosphorylation occurs with the help of photosynthesis, the process of producing carbohydrates by green plants using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.
Cyclic photophosphorylation occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, the main primary source of energy available to living organisms is sunlight.
All organisms produce the phosphate compound, ATP, which is the universal energy currency of life.
