differences between non and cyclic photophosphorylation

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)..

The light energy of specific wavelengths is absorbed by chlorophylls and accessory pigments of PS-II. These pigments transfer their absorbed energy to PS-II reaction centre - P 6 8 0 (chlo 680). This centre become photo excited and exudes an electron with a gain of energy (23 K Cal/mol..

Non-Mendelian Inheritances - The rediscovery of Mendelism and the subsequent idea of chromosomal basis of inheritance, paved way for several significant discoveries in the field of heredity. Many other patterns of inheritance which cannot be explained on the basis of Mendel's laws alone, ..

Non-stoichiometric Defects - If an imperfection causes the ratio of cations to anions to become different from that indicated by the ideal chemical formula, the defect is called non-stoichiometric. There are three types: Metal excess Metal deficiency Impurity defect..

When diatomic molecules are formed from identical atoms, the electrons forming the bonds are shared equally between the atoms e.g.,H 2 , N 2 , O 2 , Cl 2 etc. Such molecules are termed as non-polar as there is no separation of charges. When compounds are formed between two differe..
