Biology Question on Photosynthesis in higher plants
Which of the following statements is incorrect
A
Cyclic photophosphorylation involves both PS I and PS II.
B
Both ATP and NADPH+H+ are synthesized during non-cyclic photophosphorylation
C
Stroma lamellae have PS I only and lack NADP reductase
D
Grana lamellae have both PS I and PS II
Answer
Cyclic photophosphorylation involves both PS I and PS II.
Explanation
Solution
Cyclic photophosphorylation actually involves only Photosystem I (PS I), not both PS I and PS II. In cyclic photophosphorylation, electrons are cyclically passed through PS I to generate ATP without the production of NADPH. PS II is not involved in this process.
So, the correct option is (A): Cyclic photophosphorylation involves both PS I and PS II.
