In a chloroplast the highest number of protons are found in
- Aintermembrane space
- Bantennae complex
- Cstroma
- Dlumen of thylakoids.
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
Proton concentration is higher in the lumen of thylakoid due to photolysis of water, H+ pumping and NADP reductase activity in stroma. During the light-dependent reaction, protons are pumped across the thylakoid membrane into the lumen making it acidic down to pH 4.
