Oxygenic photosynthesis in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria releases oxygen. Cyanobacteria utilize photosystems I and II in their light reactions, with distinct roles in light absorption and electron transfer. Cyclic photophosphorylation involves only photosystem I, while non-cyclic photophosphoryla
