Questions
In a chloroplast the highest number of protons are found in
detailed solution
Correct option is D
In a chloroplast the highest number of protons are found in lumen of thylakoids.Since splitting of the water molecule takes place on the inner side of the membrane, the protons or hydrogen ions that are produced by the splitting of water accumulate within the lumen of the thylakoids.As electrons move through the photosystems, protons are transported across the membrane. This happens because the primary accepter of electron which is located towards the outer side of the membrane transfers its electron not to an electron carrier but to an H carrier. Hence, this molecule removes a proton from the stroma while transporting an electron. When this molecule passes on its electron to the electron carrier on the inner side of the membrane, the proton is released into the inner side or the lumen side of the membrane.In this way the number of protons goes on increasing in the lumen of the thylakoid.Talk to our academic expert!
