ATP Synthase
During the synthesis of ATP, the flow of hydrogen ions (protons) is from the intermembrane space through the ATP synthase complex into the mitochondrial matrix. This movement of hydrogen ions creates a proton gradient that drives the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
No, the stroma is not located within the thylakoid membrane. The stroma is the fluid-filled space outside the thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast.
The accumulation of protons occurs in the thylakoid space within the chloroplast during photosynthetic electron transport. This forms a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis during the process of photophosphorylation.
ATP formation happens in the stroma of the chloroplast during the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, specifically in the process of ATP synthesis through the enzyme ATP synthase. In the thylakoid space, ATP is mainly produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis through the process of photophosphorylation.
The gel-filled space in the chloroplast surrounding the thylakoid stack is called the stroma. It plays a crucial role in the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose. The stroma also contains enzymes, DNA, and ribosomes, allowing for the synthesis of proteins and other molecules within the chloroplast.
Hydrogen pumps, such as the hydrogen potassium ATPase pump, move hydrogen ions across the cell membrane, typically from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space or from the extracellular space to the cytoplasm. This movement helps maintain pH balance and electrochemical gradients essential for various cellular functions.
The thylakoid
Protons are translocated from the stroma to the thylakoid lumen in chloroplasts during chemiosmosis. This creates a proton gradient that is used by ATP synthase to generate ATP through the process of photophosphorylation.

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.
During photosynthesis, water molecules are split in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast by a complex of proteins known as the photosystem II. This splitting of water releases oxygen as a byproduct.
No, the stroma is not located within the thylakoid membrane. The stroma is the fluid-filled space outside the thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast.
Chlorophyll is found in the thylakoid membrane.
Photosystems I and II are located in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, not the thylakoid space. They play crucial roles in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis by capturing light energy and facilitating the transfer of electrons. The thylakoid space, also known as the lumen, is the area enclosed by the thylakoid membranes, where protons accumulate during the light reactions.
The chloroplast is the hydrogen ion concentration is highest in the spaces of its thylakoid membrane. The ions get pushed into these spaces during the transportation of electrons.
The chlorophyll pigment is located within the thylakoid membrane and the space between the thylakoid and the chloroplast membrane.
where does the energy used to establish the proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane come from? In other words, from splitting of water. well that's not what he said but there you go.
