Question: what is the difference between cyclic and noncyclic pathways?
Answer: As the name suggests, in cyclic photophosphorylation the electrons move in a circular pattern. Electron movement is non-cyclic in noncyclic photophosphorylation. *Photophosphorylation: The addition of phosphate group in the presence of light during the light reaction of photosynthesis is called photophosphorylation.
