Difference between oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation.
Oxidative phosphorylation | Photophosphorylation |
1. It takes place during aerobic respiration in inner membrane of mitochondria. | 1. It takes place during photosynthesis in thylakoid. |
2. It is independent of light. | 2. It is dependent on light. |
3. Oxygen is necessary. | 3. Oxygen is not necessary. |
4. Ultimate source of energy is respiratory substrate. | 4. Ultimate source of energy for photophosphorylation is light. |
5. In oxidative phosphorylation, the released hydrogen is accepted by NAD... |
