  1. Question 1

    Q1. During chemiosmosis in chloroplasts, a high concentration of protons (H+) is established in which specific compartment to drive ATP synthesis?

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

    Answer: Thylakoid lumen

    Explanation: Protons are pumped into the thylakoid lumen during light reactions, creating a low pH (acidic) environment compared to the stroma.
