Noncyclic Electron Pathway

A part of photosynthesis where electrons travel in a linear path producing NADPH and ATP, unlike in the cyclic pathway where electrons are recycled.

Noncyclic Electron Pathway

A part of photosynthesis that involves the flow of electrons from water to NADP+, producing oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.

Electron Transport Chain

A series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions, coupled with the transfer of protons (H+ ions) across a membrane, generating ATP.
