NEET Solved Paper 2016 Question 13
Question: In a chloroplast the highest number of protons are found in:
Options:
A) Stroma
B) Lumen of thylakoids
C) Inter membrane space
D) Antennae complex
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Photolysis of water occurs in the lumen of thylakoids which has the highest number of protons.
- In a chloroplast, the highest number of protons (H+ ions) are found in the lumen of thylakoids. This is because during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, protons are pumped into the thylakoid lumen from the stroma, creating a high concentration of protons inside the thylakoid lumen.
