Just a little confused about cyclic and non-cyclic electron flow in light dep. rxns. I know the non-cyclic electron flow produces ATP and NADP but does cyclic electron flow produce NADPH? To my understanding, in cyclic electron flow the excited electrons enter a electron transport chain which uses the potential energy of the electrons to make ATP...but I don't know if NADPH is made when or how. Could someone please confirm if this is right and if not please explain what the correct answer is? Thanks!

Cyclic electron flow only makes ATP
