The chemiosmotic coupling hypotheisis of oxidative phosphorylation proposes that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is formed because

(1) a proton gradient forms across the inner mitochondrial membrane. 

(2) There is a change in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane towards adenosine diphosphate (ADP).

(3) high energy bonds are formed in mitochondrial proteins

(4) ADP is pumped out of the matrix into the intermembrane space.

Which of the following is incorrect about the light reactions of photosynthesis?

1. P680 and P700 are the reaction centres of PS-I and PS-II respectively

2. Light energy provides energy for the photolysis of water through excitation of the reaction centre of PS-II

3. NADPH is not produced in cyclic electrons transport in light reactions

4. Reactions of the two photosystems are needed for the reduction of NADP
