    Which one does not occur in cyclic photophosphorylation?

    A)  Oxygen is not given off

    B)  Water is not consumed

    C)  Only photosystem-I is involved

    D)  \[NADP{{H}_{2}}\] formation

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Cyclic photophosphorylation is performed by PST only. It involves a cyclic electron flow, in which the photoexcited electrons from PS-I are occasionally shunted back to chlorophyll via the electron transport chain. This cyclic electron flow supplements the supply of ATP but produces no NADPH. Non-cyclic photophosphorylation involves both PS-I and PS-II. Splitting of water, release of oxygen and production of NADPH takes place during it.
