Question

The creation of proton gradient across thylakoid membrane is a result of

Open in App

Solution

Formation of proton gradient occurs across thylakoid membrane due to following three activities:

Concentration of hydrogen ion decreases in stroma.

Concentration of hydrogen ion increases in lumen because of splitting of water which results in the production of hydrogen ions.

$p H$ of lumen decreases as the concentration of hydrogen ion increases.
