Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the final electron acceptor for cyclic photophosphorylation?
A
NADP+
B
Ferredoxin (Fd)
C
Photosystem I reaction center
D
oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -NADP is the ultimate electron acceptor.

Detailed explanation-2: -photosynthesis, light reaction The final electron acceptor is NADP+, which is reduced to NADPH. NADPH generated from light reactions is used in sugar synthesis in dark reactions.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is, ‘ferredoxin. ‘

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosystem-I (PS-I) is an integral membrane protein complex that absorbs solar energy and mediate electron transfer from plastocyanin to ferredoxin. Ferredoxin is the iron-containing sulphur protein, which is the first pigment that accepts electrons.
