Cyclic photophosphorylation is a light-dependent process that occurs in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts
during photosynthesis. It involves only photosystem I (PS I) and does not involve photosystem II (PS II).
(1) Grana lamellae, which are stacked thylakoid membranes within the chloroplasts, contain both photosystem I (PS I) and photosystem II (PS II). These photo systems are protein complexes embedded in the thylakoid membranes
and are involved in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
(3) Non-cyclic photophosphorylation involves both photosystem I (PS I) and photosystem II (PS II) working together
to capture and convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH + H+.
(4) Stroma lamellae are regions of the chloroplast thylakoid system that connect the grana stacks. Unlike the
grana lamellae, the stroma lamellae do not contain Photosystem II (PS II) or NADP reductase.
