Q. During the experiment in laboratory, the thylakoid is some how punctured so that the interior of the thylakoid is no longer separated from stroma. This damage will have the direction effect on
A) ATP formation
B) Absorption of light
C) Flow of electrons from PS-I to PS-II
D) All of the above
Explanation
Due to the punctured thylakoid membrane, the interior of thylakoid is no longer separated from stroma that leads to the disturbed proton gradient. The proton concentration between the thylakoid membrane and stroma becomes the same. Hence, no ATP formation takes place as ATP formation takes place due to the proton gradient
