Question

What does the given diagram represent with respect to the various photosynthetic processes?

• A. $C_2$ cycle
• B. Cyclic photophosphorylation
• C. Non-cyclic photophosphorylation
• D. Z- scheme of photophosphorylation

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Cyclic photophosphorylation

Cyclic photophosphorylation is the generation of energy molecules ATP using light energy, that excites an e${}^{-}$ at the chlorophyll center of PS I, the E${}^{-}$ travels in a cycles manner through the ETS, releasing energy in the process to be ultimately accepted back by PS I.

So, the correct answer 'Cyclic photophosphorylation'
