What is the least common electron transport chain?
Correct answer: D. Both Options B and C are correct
- A. Non-cyclic electron flow
- B. Cyclic electron flow
- C. Circular electron flow
- D. Both Options B and C are correct
Explanation
Circular electron flow is not a well-known or commonly occurring electron transport chain. In photophosphorylation, the electron flow may be acyclic, i.e., starting from Photosystem 2 going to Photosystem 1 and ending in NADPH, or it may be cyclic, i.e., only cycles around Photosystem 1 if the NADPH:ATP ratio is higher than normal. The latter is relatively rare.
