In cyclic photophosphorylation, the excited electron from P700 eventually 
returns to P700 after being passed through a number of electron acceptors. My 
question is, does the electron always go back to the exact same molecule which 
emitted it, or can it fill a 'hole' in another P700, depending on spatial and 
temporal conditions?
