cyclic photophosphorylation

Cards (9)

  • Where does cyclic photophosphorylation occur?

    bacteria and primitive plants
  • why would higher plants use cyclic photophosphorylation
    to provide extra atp
  • When would higher plants use cyclic photophosphorylation
    when CO2 is in short supply
  • which photosystem is used in cyclic photophosphorylation
    ps1
  • what is the first step of cyclic photophosphorylation
    light photons are absorbed by ps1
  • in cyclic photophosphorylation what happens after the light photons are absorbed into ps1
    the electrons become excited and accepted by an electron acceptor
  • in cyclic photophosphorylation what happens after the electrons are accepted to an electron acceptor
    the electrons are passed down a chain of electrons carriers
  • in cyclic photophosphorylation what happens after the electrons are passed back down the chain of electron acceptors
    the movement of electrons fuel the proton pumps to transport protons into the thylakoid space and leading to the production of ATP
  • what happens at the end of cyclic photophosphorylation
    the originally excited electrons return to ps1
