The product(s) of cyclic photophosphorylation is/are:
Correct answer: A. ATP
- A. ATP
- B. NADP
- C. NADP and ATP
- D. NADP, ATP, and O2
Explanation
The primary product of cyclic photophosphorylation in photosynthesis is ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Cyclic photophosphorylation is one of the two types of light reactions that occur in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts. The overall result is the generation of ATP without the production of NADPH or the release of oxygen. Cyclic photophosphorylation is particularly important in certain photosynthetic bacteria and in the light reactions of photosynthesis in the chloroplasts of some plants.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
