That is where most of the chemical reactions occur
The thylakoid space
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.

Acidic substances have higher concentrations of hydrogen ions (H+) which results in a lower pH value compared to basic (alkaline) substances. A lower pH value indicates a higher concentration of H+ ions, while a higher pH value indicates a higher concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) found in basic substances.
At pH 1, the amino acid will be fully protonated because the pH is lower than its pKa value. This means that the amino acid will have a positive charge, as the amino group will be protonated.
yes
The thylakoid lumen is likely to have the lowest pH in chloroplasts due to the accumulation of protons during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
During the light reactions of photosynthesis, protons (H+) are ferried into the thylakoid space using the energy from the excited electrons in Photosystems 680 and 700. H+ causes buildup of hydronium (H3O+) ions in water, which are acidic.
A pH lower than seven indicates acidity. This means there is a higher concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution, making it acidic.
There are many acids that have a pH lower than 4.6. Hydrochloric acid for example has a pH of less than 2.
A solution with a pH lower than that of distilled water would be acidic. This could be achieved by adding an acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid to water. Acidic solutions have a pH below 7, with the lower the pH, the more acidic the solution will be.
It will decrease.
A basic pH is higher than an acidic or neutral pH.
Yes, bases have a pH greater than 7. They typically have pH values higher than 7 up to 14, indicating their alkaline nature.
No, pH 9 is actually more basic (alkaline) than pH 4. The pH scale is logarithmic, so each unit is 10 times more acidic or basic than the unit next to it. pH 4 is more acidic than pH 9.
When rainfall has a pH value lower than 5.6, it is defined as acid rain. This occurs when rainwater mixes with acidic pollutants in the atmosphere, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides from industrial activities and vehicle emissions. Acid rain can have harmful effects on the environment, including damaging plant life, soil quality, and bodies of water.
A solution which has a pH lower than 7 is a acid.
