Answer: The process of synthesizing ATP
Question: What is phosphorylation?
from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
Answer: The synthesis of ATP in the presence
Question: What is photophosphorylation?
of light.
Question: What are the two types of Answer: Non-cyclic and cyclic
photophosphorylation? photophosphorylation.
Answer: Both PS I and PS II work in series,
Question: What occurs in non-cyclic
connected by an electron transport chain. ATP
photophosphorylation?
and NADPH + H+ are synthesized.
Answer: Only PS I is functional, and electrons
Question: What occurs in cyclic
circulate within the photosystem. ATP is
photophosphorylation?
synthesized, but not NADPH + H+.
Question: Where does cyclic
Answer: In the stroma lamellae.
photophosphorylation likely occur?
Answer: Grana have both PS I and PS II,
Question: What is the difference between
while stroma lamellae lack PS II and NADP
grana and stroma lamellae?
reductase.
Answer: It allows for the synthesis of ATP
Question: Why is cyclic
even when only light of wavelengths beyond
photophosphorylation important?
680 nm is available.
Answer: A series of proteins that transfer
Question: What is the electron transport
electrons from PS II to PS I, generating energy
chain in photosynthesis?
for ATP synthesis.
Answer: A diagram that
illustrates the electron flow in
Question: What is the Z-scheme?
non-cyclic
photophosphorylation.
