Photophosphorylation is a biological process in photosynthesis where light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in plant cells and converted into chemical energy. This energy is used to add a phosphate group to ADP, creating ATP, a crucial molecule for cellular activities. Photophosphorylation occurs in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts, driving […]

Difference between Cyclic and Noncyclic Photophosphorylation – Comparison Table
Cyclic Photophosphorylation vs Non-cyclic Photophosphorylation Difference between Cyclic and Non Cyclic Photophosphorylation: The process of photosynthesis is completed in two main steps – Light reaction and Dark reaction. The Light reaction is the light-dependent reaction where the assimilatory powers (ATP and reduced coenzymes) are generated in the grana of chloroplasts. […]
