  1. Question 1

    Q1. When a plant cell requires additional ATP but has a sufficient supply of NADPH, it shifts its electron flow. Which component is bypassed during this cyclic pathway?

    • A) Cytochrome complex
    • B) Plastocyanin
    • C) Photosystem I
    • D) Photosystem II

    Answer: Photosystem II

    Explanation: Cyclic flow only involves PS I to produce ATP; PS II and NADP reductase are bypassed as no NADPH is needed.
