Cyclic photophosphorylation produces

A. NADPH

B. ATP and NADPH

C. ATP, NADPH and O2

D. ATP only

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Cyclic photophosphorylation produces ATP only.
Cyclic photophosphorylation occurs in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, driven by the main primary source of energy available to living organisms, which is sunlight.
In photophosphorylation, light energy is used to pump protons across a biological membrane, mediated by the flow of electrons through an electron transport chain. This stores energy in a proton gradient. As the protons flow back through an enzyme called ATP synthase, ATP is generated from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
