b)

Plastoquinone(Pq) and Ferredoxin(Fd)

c)

Plastoquinone(Pq), cytochrome complex and Plastocyanin(Pc)

d)

7.

What is the difference between non-cyclic and cyclic photophosphorylation?

a)
Non-cyclic photophosphorylation does not involve electron transport chain, while cyclic photophosphorylation does.
b)
Non-cyclic photophosphorylation produces only ATP, while cyclic photophosphorylation produces both ATP and NADPH.
c)
Non-cyclic photophosphorylation involves only Photosystem I, while cyclic photophosphorylation involves both Photosystem I and Photosystem II.
d)
Non-cyclic photophosphorylation involves both Photosystem I and Photosystem II, while cyclic photophosphorylation only involves Photosystem I. Non-cyclic produces both ATP and NADPH, while cyclic produces only ATP.
