1.Cyclic electron flow
  • Only PS I involved
  • Importances
-produced ATP & NADPH in roughly equal quantities
-generate enough surplus ATP to satisfy higher demand for ATP in Calvin cycle

Mechanism of cyclic electron flow

2. Non-cyclic electron flow
  • PS I & PS II involved

Mechanism of noncyclic electron flow/photophosphorylation in light dependent reaction
