Cyclic photophosphorylation involves only Photosystem I and produces:

Answer: Only ATP.

  • A Only NADPH
  • B Oxygen and sugar
  • C Only ATP
  • D Both water and CO2

Correct answer: C. Only ATP

Explanation: In cyclic photophosphorylation electrons cycle through PS I, generating ATP only - no NADPH and no oxygen.

Photosynthesis: Inputs and OutputschloroplastLeaf cellSunlightCO2H2OO2Glucose

Simplified photosynthesis diagram: light energy, CO2, and H2O enter the leaf and are converted in the chloroplast into glucose and O2.

Concept context

Light reactions, the Calvin cycle, C 3 /C 4 /CAM pathways, photorespiration, and factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis. One of the highest-yield NEET chapters.
