Question

During photosynthesis, ATP is synthesized as protons flow across the thylakoid membrane into
the _____________.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Photosynthesis is the process of conversion of light energy into chemical energy in the presence of sunlight by utilization of carbon dioxide and water.

$6 C O 2 + 6 H 2 O \to_{c h l o r o p h y l l}^{s u n l i g h t} C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2$

Step 2

In photosynthesis, the flow of proton out of the thylakoid membrane was done through ATP synthase into the stroma.

This was because the CF₁subunit is on the stromal surface of the thylakoid membrane.

Therefore the newly synthesized ATP was directly realized into the stromal space.
