What does the stroma lamellae membranes lack?
Options
- APS I and NADP reductase enzyme
- BPS II and NADP reductase enzyme
- CPS I and PS II
- DATP synthase and NADP reductase enzyme
Correct answer
B. PS II and NADP reductase enzyme
Step-by-step solution
When only PS I is functional, the electron is circulated within the photosystem and the phosphorylation occurs due to cyclic flow of electrons. A possible location where this could be happening is in the stroma lamellae. While the membrane or lamellae of the grana have both PS I and PS II the stroma lamellae membranes lack PS II as well as NADP reductase enzyme. The excited electron does not pass on to NADP+ but is cycled back to the PS I complex through the electron transport chain. The cyclic flow hence, results
