Which of the following statements is incorrect?

Which of the following statements is incorrect?

Options

  1. ABoth ATP and NADPH+H+NADPH + {H}^{+} are synthesized during non-cyclic photophosphorylation.
  2. BStroma lamellae have PS I only and lack NADP reductase.
  3. CGrana lamellae have both PS I and PS II.
  4. DCyclic photophosphorylation involves both PS I and PS II.

Correct answer

D. Cyclic photophosphorylation involves both PS I and PS II.

Step-by-step solution

Cyclic photophosphorylation also occurs when only light of wavelengths beyond 680nm680nm are available for excitation. When only PS I is functional, the electron is circulated within the photosystem I, and the phosphorylation occur due to the 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 only in the synthesis of ATP, but not of NADPH+H+.NADPH + H + .
