Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following are NOT functioning during cyclic photophosphorylation? Select all that apply.
A
photosystem II
B
photosystem I
C
ATP synthase
D
ETC between photosystem II and photosystem I
E
ETC after photosystem I
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -NADPH formation does not take place in cyclic photophosphorylation. In this pathway, only a single molecule of ATP is synthesised.

Detailed explanation-2: -(B) Only PS1 is functional in cyclic photophosphorylation. (C) Cyclic photophosphorylation results into synthesis of ATP and NADPH2.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, the correct answer is ‘ATP’.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, ATP formation is the only process that occurs in both cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylation.
