Q

cyclic phosphorylation

A

occurs usually in prokaryotes

just accomplishes the ADP to ATP process for immediate energy for these cells.

Q

noncyclic phosphorylation

A

a plant must accomplish the splitting of water, the conversion of ADP to ATP, and the provision of the reduced coenzyme NADPH to power the synthesis of energy storage molecules.
