Feature Non-Cyclic Photophosphorylation Cyclic Photophosphorylation Photosystems Involved Involves both **Photosystem I (PS I)** and **Photosystem II (PS II)** working in series. Involves **Photosystem I (PS I)** only. PS II is completely inactive here. Electron Flow Path The electron expelled from PS II does not return; it is a one-way flow (Z-scheme). The expelled electron cycles back to the same reaction center via carriers. Photolysis of Water Occurs on the inner side of the thylakoid membrane, splitting water. Does not occur; there is no splitting of water molecules. End Products Produces both **ATP** and **NADPH**, along with oxygen ($O_2$) evolution. Produces **ATP only**. No NADPH is synthesized, and no oxygen is released. Anatomical Loc...
