Explain the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis using evidence from each question and mark scheme.
Photosynthesis is an energy transfer process that results in the production of carbohydrate. It has two stages: the light-dependent stage and the light-independent stage.
Cyclic photophosphorylation and non-cyclic photophosphorylation are essential pathways in photosynthesis that occur in the light-dependent stage.
Describe the similarities and differences between cyclic photophosphorylation and non-cyclic photophosphorylation.
Any four from:
Similarities:
1. photoactivation of chlorophyll / AW occurs in both ;
Accept excite electrons.
2. ETC involved in both ;
3. ATP produced in both ;
Differences:
- differences are shown in the attached official markscheme figure.
