Non-Cyclic and Cyclic Photophosphorylation | Photosynthesis

Learn about the comparison between Non-Cyclic and Cyclic Photophosphorylation. Comparison # Non-Cyclic Photophosphorylation: In this a photon of light is involved to excite electron in chlorophyll b or other accessory pigments of photosystem II. Energy of two such excited electrons is accepted by an oxidized plastoquinone forming completely reduced plastoquinone and electron-deficient chlorophyll b (Chl b). Chl b then accepts [...]

Electron Transport Chain (With Diagram)| Photosynthesis

In this article we will discuss about the subject-matter and components of electron transport chain. Subject Matter of Electron Transport Chain: The primary function in photosynthesis is the raising of an electron to a higher energy level in chlorophyll. Then the electron is transferred to an acceptor. It is, as if, there is a hole in the chlorophyll which invites [...]

Problem of Nutrition in Photosynthesis

In this article we will discuss about the problem of nutrition in photosynthesis. Every year plant food production of the world is nearly 1.4 x 109 tons of dry matter. This estimate includes cereals, starch, roots, sugar and oil seeds but did not take into account vegetables and fruits. In other words, plant production thus covers only about 1.3% of [...]
