All of the following occur in cyclic photophosphorylation EXCEPT: A. Electrons move along an electron transport chain. B. Electrons in chlorophyll become excited. C. ATP is produced. D. Light energy is absorbed. E. NADPH is produced.
Cyclic photophosphorylation is a process that occurs in photosynthesis to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
Cyclic photophosphorylation is a process that occurs in photosynthesis to generate ATP (adenosine triphosphate). It involves the flow of electrons in an electron transport chain and the excitation of electrons in chlorophyll molecules by absorbing light energy. This leads to the production of ATP.
Therefore, the options A, B, C, and D are all correct statements about cyclic photophosphorylation.
However, NADPH (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is not produced in cyclic photophosphorylation. NADPH is generated in non-cyclic photophosphorylation, also known as the Z-scheme, which involves both Photosystem I and Photosystem II.
Therefore, the answer is E. NADPH is not produced in cyclic photophosphorylation.
