cyclic photophosphorylation diagram

The electrons released by P 7 0 0 of PS-I in the presence of light are taken up by the primary acceptor and are then passed on to ferredoxin (Fd), plastoquinone (PQ), cytochrome complex, plastocyanin (PC) and finally back to P 7 0 0 i.e., electrons come back to the same molecule after c..

Photosynthetic phosphorylation or photophosphorylation is the process of phosphate group transfer into ADP to synthesize energy rich ATP molecule making use of light as external energy source. According to chemi osmotic hypothesis (Mitchell 1961) the ATP is synthesized on ATPase complexes..

The electrons lost by P 6 8 0 (PS-II) are taken up by P 7 0 0 (PS-I) and do not get back to P 6 8 0 i.e., unidirectional and hence it is called non- cyclic phosphorylation. The electrons pass through the primary acceptor, plastoquinone (PQ), cytochrome complex, plastocyanin (PC) and final..

Cyclic Electron Transport System - Cylic reaction transport occurs only occasionally when synthesis of carbohydrate is curtailed due to limited supply of CO 2 and NADPH 2 starts accumulating. At this time, there would be no need for additional NADPH 2 . Moreover, the cyclic elec..

In 1824, a French scientist N.L.Sadi Carnot, suggested an idealized engine which is called the Carnot engine, which has an intimate relation with the second law of thermodynamics. To understand the principle, let us consider an ideal gas taken in a cylinder. The bottom of the cylinder is diathermic..

The heart has an increasing rhythmic activity. It pumps blood by its contraction and relaxation. The contraction of the heart is called systole and the relaxation is called diastole . The contraction and relaxation together constitute the heart beat. The heart beats at the rate of 72 beats per minu..
