Question #286077
What do you think is the importance of the cyclic electron flow to the process of photosynthesis and the cell?
Expert's answer
The light reactions in photosynthesis convert light energy into chemical energy in the forms of ATP and NADPH. The role of cyclic electron transport around PS I is proposed essential for balancing the ATP/NADPH production ratio and/or for protecting both photosystems from the damage via stromal over-reduction.
