Hello,
The cyclic and non cyclic photo phosphorylation are two important features of Light reaction during photosynthesis.
The product of the light reaction are required for Dark reaction.
• In non-cyclic photophosphorylation 1 ATP and 2 NADPH2 molecules are produced. Further each NADPH2 molecule produce 3 ATP molecules, hence you can consider the total number of ATPs produced are 7.
• In cyclic photophosphorylation 2 ATP molecules are produced per cycle.
i hope you find the answer helpful.
Thank you.
Hi!!!
Hope you are doing well.
Non-Cyclic photophosphorylation produces 1 ATP and 2 NADPH2 molecules. On the other hand, in cyclic photophosphorylation 2 ATP molecules are produced.
Hope you are clear now. Feel free to ask if you have any other queries. All The Best!!!
