How does cyclic electron flow have a beneficial role for organisms?
a) It generates ATP.
b) It produces NADPH.
c) It helps in photoprotection.
d) It releases oxygen.

Respuesta :

Answer:

c) It helps in photoprotection.

Explanation:

Cyclic electron flow in photosynthesis occurs in the thylakoid membrane and involves electrons cycling between photosystem I and the electron transport chain, generating a proton gradient for ATP synthesis. It plays a beneficial role in photoprotection by reducing the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during high light intensity, thus safeguarding photosystems and cellular components from damage.
