9 ATP and 6 NADPH overall. This energy is supplied by the light reactions from photosystem II and photosystem I. 6 ATP are reduced to 6 ADP in stage 1( fixation). The 6 NADPH are reduced to form 6 NADP+ in stage 2(reduction). The final 3 ATP are used in stage 3(regeneration of acceptor).

What is cyclic and non cyclic?

Cyclic photophosphorylation is when the electron from the chlorophyll went through the electron transport chain and return back to the chlorophyll. Noncyclic photophosphorylation is when the electron from the chlorophyll doesn't return back but incorporated into NADPH.


Is RuBP produced during cyclic electron flow in the light reactions of photosynthesis?

No, RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate) is not produced during cyclic electron flow in the light reactions of photosynthesis. RuBP is a 5-carbon sugar molecule that plays a key role in the Calvin cycle, where it serves as the substrate for carbon fixation by Rubisco enzyme. Cyclic electron flow involves a cyclic pathway of electron transport to generate ATP without the release of oxygen or the production of NADPH.


The cyclic pathway of ATP formation functions mainly to?

The cyclic pathway of ATP formation primarily functions to transfer electrons between electron carriers in order to generate a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This proton gradient is used by ATP synthase to produce ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.


What is the purpose of the cyclic electron flow?

Cyclic electron flow in photosynthesis helps generate additional ATP molecules without producing NADPH. This provides extra energy for the Calvin cycle, helping to produce more sugar in the plant. Additionally, it can protect the plant from damage caused by excessive light, by dissipating excess energy as heat through the alternative pathway.


Compare and contrast light dependent and light independent reactions of photosynthesis.?

Light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane and require light energy to produce ATP and NADPH. Light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) occur in the stroma and use ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 into glucose. Both processes are essential for photosynthesis and occur in chloroplasts.

Does non cyclic electron flow produce ATP?

No, non-cyclic electron flow does not directly produce ATP. It generates NADPH, which is used in the Calvin Cycle to produce ATP indirectly by providing reducing power for the synthesis of carbohydrates. ATP production occurs in cyclic electron flow by generating a proton gradient that drives ATP synthase.


Which pathways in photosynthesis will produce ATP but not NADPH?

non-cyclic electron pathways


Do the non-cyclic electron pathways produce carbohydrates through carbon dioxide fixation?

yes


What are the differences between cyclic and noncyclic electron flow?

in non-cyclic the electrons do not return the source and the cyclic the electrons come back to the source. Mostly the non-cyclic process occurs to produce ATP AND NADH which will be used by the Calvin cycle to produce the carbohydrate but some times there occurs a cyclic process to produce ATP to cope up with Calvin cycle as it requires more ATP than the NADH In addition to the above, cyclic electron flow could operate independent of photosystem II. The production of oxygen and NADPH take place in non-cyclic electron flow and the system could switch to cyclic flow upon accumulation of oxygen and NADPH


What are the products of a non-cyclic electron flow?

The products of non-cyclic electron flow in photosynthesis are ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). This process occurs during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis and helps to generate energy-rich molecules that are used in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose.


Is the light dependant reaction cyclic?

Yes, the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis involves a cyclic flow of electrons between photosystem I and photosystem II. This cycle helps generate ATP and NADPH for the Calvin Cycle to produce glucose.


What are electron carriers used in photosynthesis?

Pigment I & II systems of cyclic and non-cyclic phosphorylation.


Which atoms make up the ring in the cyclic form of glucose?

6


Explain how cyclic AMP and catabolite activator protein are affected by glucose concentration?

Cyclic AMP accumulates when the glucose concentration is scarce. If the glucose concentration increases, the cAMP concentration falls, and without it, CAP (catabolite activator portein) detaches from the operon and becomes inactive.


What is cyclic and non cyclic?

Cyclic photophosphorylation is when the electron from the chlorophyll went through the electron transport chain and return back to the chlorophyll. Noncyclic photophosphorylation is when the electron from the chlorophyll doesn't return back but incorporated into NADPH.

The cyclic pathways of photosynthesis produce?

The cyclic pathways of photosynthesis produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through the process of cyclic photophosphorylation. This pathway involves the movement of electrons through the photosystem I in a cyclic manner, leading to the formation of ATP as an energy carrier for the cell.
