How will herbicide affect a chloroplast's ability to produce ATP?

Herbicides work by inhibiting key enzymes involved in photosynthesis within the chloroplast, disrupting the light-dependent reactions that produce ATP. This disrupts the normal function of chloroplasts and decreases ATP production, leading to a decrease in energy available for plant growth and metabolism.
