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.
