Another name for the electron flow - pathway 1 Cyclic Photophosphorylation
Electron flow in Cyclic Photophosphorylation Chlorophyll --> Electron Acceptor --> Chlorophyll
Electron flow in Non Cyclic Photophosphorylation Chlorophyll --> Electron Acceptor --> NADPH
ADP + energy + P --> ATP + water
NADP+ + energy + P --> NADP-
NADP- + proton --> NADPH
NADPH --> NADP+ + 2 electrons + H+
