The formation of ATP during non-cyclic electron flow is called

Correct answer: C. Non-cyclic phosphorylation

  • A. Z - scheme
  • B. Light reaction
  • C. Non-cyclic phosphorylation
  • D. Synthesis of ATP and NADPH2

Explanation

In photosynthesis, non-cyclic phosphorylation refers to the process where electrons flow from water through Photosystem II and Photosystem I, ultimately reducing NADP⁺ to NADPH and synthesizing ATP. Unlike cyclic phosphorylation, the electrons are not recycled back to the photosystem. Option C is correct because it specifically describes this electron flow process. Option A describes the model of electron flow rather than the ATP formation process, Option B is too general, encompassing both cyclic and non-cyclic processes, and Option D describes the products of the process rather than the process itself.
