Biology

The incorrect statement is that NADPH is composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.

NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) is composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. The structure of NADPH contains a nicotinamide ring, an adenine moiety, ribose sugar, and phosphate groups.

The other options are correct:

Option A: This is the reaction equation for the formation of NADPH from NADP⁺ during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. The light-dependent reactions involve the conversion of light energy into ATP and NADPH, which occurs in the thylakoid membranes.

Option B: During the light-dependent reactions, water is split (photolysis) in the thylakoid lumen. The reaction is
