ATP synthase allows H+ ions to pass through thylakoid membrane, rotating the enzyme.
- The rotation creates the energy needed to bind ADP to a phosphate and produce ATP.
Why it is important to have build up of Hydrogen ions inside the thylakoid?
- It is important to have buildup of hydrogen ions in the thylakoid space so as to forms an electrochemical gradient
- The difference in the concentration of protons and the difference in the charge across the membrane that they create.
What is thylakoid?
- It is a membrane bound compartments inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria.
- They are the site of the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis.
- Chloroplast thylakoids frequently form stacks of disks referred to as grana.
