Plant, green algae and some bacterial photosynthesis depend on noncyclic electron flow, which means that electrons lost by the photosystems are not recycled back to the photosystems but instead passed on to NADPH. To replenish electrons lost by the photosystems, these organisms rely on an oxygen evolving complex (mechanism not well understood) that split water into protons, electrons, and oxygen. The electrons are used to replenish electrons lost by the photosystems, the protons are used to generate the proton gradient used to produce ATP, and oxygen, not used by the plant, leaves as a byproduct.

Is oxygen created during NADPH?

No, oxygen is created from the splitting of water as a waste product. After the electrons from the splitting of water go through photosystem 2 & 1, they would be used to create NADPH in noncyclic photophosphorylation.


The final electron acceptor in the noncyclic pathways of ATP formation is?

The final electron acceptor in the noncyclic pathways of ATP formation is oxygen. Oxygen is necessary to receive electrons at the end of the electron transport chain in aerobic respiration, forming water as a byproduct.


What different end products are produced in cyclic versus noncyclic photosynthesis?

In cyclic photosynthesis, the end product is ATP (adenosine triphosphate) only. In noncyclic photosynthesis, the end products are ATP, NADPH, and oxygen.


What substance is the byproduct of photosynthisis?

There is only one byproduct. it is O2 gas.


Does the Calvin cycle produce oxygen as a byproduct of its process?

No, the Calvin cycle does not produce oxygen as a byproduct of its process.


Which plants provide oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis?

Plants such as trees, grass, and flowers provide oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis.


An important electron and hydrogen acceptor in noncyclic pathways of ATP formation is?

Oxygen is an important electron and hydrogen acceptor in noncyclic pathways of ATP formation, such as oxidative phosphorylation in aerobic respiration. This process involves the transfer of electrons from NADH and FADH2 to oxygen, leading to the production of ATP.


Why is it advantage that bundle sheath chloroplasts lacks grana?

To avoid photophosphorylation to take place( that's to avoid competition between oxygen and corbondioxide in the activesite of rubisco)
