Question

How much ATP does cyclic photophosphorylation produce?


Open in App
Solution

Cyclic Photophosphorylation:

  1. When an electron is energised in this type, it leaves chlorophyll and travels through the electron transport circuit.
  2. Only bacteria benefit from the cyclic photophosphorylation mechanism.
  3. In a different type of photophosphorylation reaction known as cyclic photophosphorylation, electrons follow a circular path, and just ATP (no NADPH) is generated.
  4. Cyclic photophosphorylation is a type of photophosphorylation that occurs in cycles.
  5. Each cycle produces two ATP molecules.
