  1. Question 1

    Q1. During the light-dependent reactions, a high concentration of protons is established in a specific compartment to drive ATP synthesis. Name this internal space.

    • A) Stroma
    • B) Intermembrane space
    • C) Cytosol
    • D) Thylakoid lumen

    Answer: Thylakoid lumen

    Explanation: Protons accumulate in the thylakoid lumen during light reactions; the stroma is where they are pumped from, not stored.
