Stroma lamellae membranes lack which of the following components?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: PS II and NADP reductase enzyme
While grana lamellae have both PS I and PS II, the stroma lamellae lack PS II and the enzyme NADP reductase. This is why stroma lamellae are only capable of cyclic photophosphorylation.
