Why do electrons return to photosystem II causing a cyclic flow of electrons during the light reactions of photosynthesis?
Added by Ryan D.
Step 1
Step 1: When light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in photosystem II, it excites electrons to a higher energy level, causing them to be transferred to an electron transport chain. Show more…
