How many ATP does cyclic Photophosphorylation produce?


Open in App
Solution

Cyclic Photophosphorylation:

  1. Cyclic Photophosphorylation refers to the photophosphorylation process that results in the cyclic movement of electrons for the purpose of generating ATP molecules.
  2. It will happen in both aerobic and anaerobic environments.
  3. In the presence of light, cyclic Photophosphorylation can be exploited to produce a consistent supply of ATP.
  4. When an electron is energised in this type, it leaves chlorophyll and travels through the electron transport circuit.
  5. Only bacteria benefit from the cyclic photophosphorylation mechanism.
  6. Cyclic photophosphorylation generates two ATP molecules.
