Solution
Introduction :
The above diagram represents cyclic photophosphorylation as only photosystem I is functional and results in the production of ATP. It takes place in the stroma lamellae when only light of wavelengths beyond 680 nm are available for excitation.
Label -A :
The part labelled A in the diagram is electron acceptor.
This electron acceptor accepts the electron from excited PS700
Label - B :
The part labelled B in the diagram is Electron transport system.
The part labelled C in the diagram is Chlorophyll P700.
