How does the electron transport system function?
thylakoid membrane
What is the function of the proton pumps in the thylakoid membranes?
Proton pumps in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts create a proton gradient by pumping H+ ions from the stroma into the thylakoid lumen during photosynthesis. This gradient is utilized by ATP synthase to produce ATP through chemiosmosis.
How many membrains does a nucleus have?
Two, the inner membrane and outer membrane.
What is the function of the Thylakoid?
A thylakoid is a membrane compartment that is bound inside the chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. It is the site of the light-dependent reactions for the process of photosynthesis
The function of the electron transport proteins in the thyakoid membranes is?
The function of the electron transport proteins in the thylakoid membranes is to pump hydrogens into the thylakoid space for later generation of ATP. This process is called chemiosmosis.
What is the function of a lumen?
The thylakoid lumen is the compartment bounded by the thylakoid membrane. It plays a vital role for photophosphorylation during photosynthesis. During the light-dependent reaction, protons are pumped across the thylakoid membrane into the lumen making it acidic down to pH 4.
What is the difference between the structure and function of grana and thylakoid in photosynthesis?
The grana are stacks of thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts. The thylakoids contain chlorophyll and other pigments that capture light energy for photosynthesis. The grana's structure allows for efficient light absorption, while the thylakoids' function is to convert light energy into chemical energy for the plant.
What are ways fats are use in living things?
As parts of biological membrains, to store energy
What are egg foams?
they are made out of cell walls. with cell membrains with a hard shell that is made out of phosfate
Is chlorophyll found in the thylakoid membrane or in the thylakoid space?
Chlorophyll is found in the thylakoid membrane.
What are the parts of thylakoid and its function?
Thylakoids are membrane-bound structures found within chloroplasts and are crucial for photosynthesis. They consist of a thylakoid membrane, which contains chlorophyll and other pigments that capture light energy, and a thylakoid lumen, the internal space where protons accumulate during the light-dependent reactions. The thylakoid membrane is organized into stacks called grana, enhancing the surface area for light absorption. Together, these components facilitate the conversion of light energy into chemical energy, producing ATP and NADPH for the Calvin cycle.
Is the stroma located within the thylakoid membrane?
No, the stroma is not located within the thylakoid membrane. The stroma is the fluid-filled space outside the thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast.
