The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Cyclic Photophosphorylation and Non-cyclic Photophosphorylation. Difference # Cyclic Photophosphorylation: 1. It is performed by photosystem I independently. 2. An external source of electrons is not required because the same electrons get revelled. 3. It is not connected with photolysis of water. Therefore, no oxygen is evolved. 4. It synthesizes only [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between C3 plants and C4 Plants. Difference # C3 Plants (Calvin Cycle): 1. Optimum temperature for photosynthesis is 10-25°C. 2. Atmospheric concentration of oxygen (21%) reduces the rate of photosynthesis which is optimum at 2-4% O2 concentration. 3. Saturation point is reached at 10—70% of full sunlight. 4. Rate of net [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Photosynthesis and Respiration. Difference # Photosynthesis: 1. It takes place in the presence of sunlight only. 2. A plant can live without photosynthesis for a number of days. 3. Only green cells of the plant are capable of accomplishing photosynthesis. 4. It absorbs sunlight and is an endothermic reaction. 5. [...]
