Detailed Solution

During non-cyclic electron transport of photosynthesis, the electrons removed from PSI by NADP is compensated by getting electrons from PSII. The electrons removed from PSII is compensated by getting electrons from Water via oxygen evolving complex. During non-cyclic electron transport there is cyclic electron transport during the operation of PQ cycle which helps in pumping additional protons from stroma to lumen to establish proton gradient for the formation of ATP. During non-cyclic electron transport only the electrons removed from PSI are accepted by NADP where as in cyclic electron transport the electrons reach the same PSI (P700) but do not reach the NADP.
