The process of photophosphorylation was discovered by Arnon.
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.
