explain the difference between cyclic and noncyclic electron transport

Open in App

Solution

Cyclic Noncyclic
Only photo system I is involved Both Photo system I and II are involved
The active reaction center is P700 The active reaction center is P680
Electrons travel in a cyclic manner Electrons travel in non cyclic manner
Electrons travel back to PSI Electrons from PSI is accepted by NADP
Only ATP is produced Both ATP and NADPH are produced
Photolysis or water splitting is absent Photolysis or splitting of water is present
Oxygen is not evolved Oxygen is evolved as a Byproduct
