Light Reaction: Cyclic Photophosphorylation -

  • In cyclic electron flow, only Photosystem 1 is used in order to produce ATP as a product but does not create any NADPH or O2 as a byproduct.
  • Only occurs when plant cells are in need of ATP.
  • It was discovered by Frankel in Purple-Sulphur bacteria.
  • As the light rays fall on the reaction centre, the chl. a molecule gets excited and passes these electrons to the molecule that has the ability to get reduced i.e. molecule with greater redox potential.
  • After losing the electron the photocentre becomes oxidized. The expelled electron passes through a series of carriers.
  • The electrons are returned by plastocyanin (Pc) to the P700 pigment in the reaction centre to complete the cycle.

In cyclic photophosphorylation, donor and final electron acceptors are same i.e. P700. Hence, the correct answer is option d.
