Solution:
Non-cyclic photophosphorylation is the major pathway of light reaction of photosynthesis. It requires participation of both PS-I and PS-II. It involves photolysis of water, formation of assimilatory power ATP and NADPH2 and liberation of O2. Cyclic photophosphorylation includes only PS-I and involve ATP formation only.
