Given below is the diagrammatic representation of cyclic photophosphorylation. Identify the function of ' 
' element from the options given below.
A
It utilises 
for evolution of 
for evolution of
B
It absorb wavelength shorter than 
C
It generates ATP molecules
D
It produces a strong oxidant
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
represents PS-I 
. It involves in cyclic photophosphorylation also. They transfer the 
in cyclic fashion. At each step of electron transfer. The electrons lose potential energy. Their trip down hills is caused by the transport chain to pump 
across the thylakoid membrane. It generate 2 molecules of ATP. No reaction of NADP to NADPH 
occur.
