The reservoir for hydrogen ions for chemiosmotic ATP synthesis during photosynthesis is the thylakoid space.
How is ATP synthesized during photosynthesis?
- Photosynthesis takes place in two different phases: the light reaction and the dark reaction.
- The photosynthetic pigments are organized in the form of photocenters in the thylakoid membrane.
- During photosynthesis in plants, ATP is synthesized by the ATP synthase which is present in the thylakoid membrane and the inner mitochondrial membrane.
- The ATP synthase consists of two regions FO and F1.
- It utilizes the proton gradient (hydrogen ions) created in the thylakoid lumen to generate ATP by moving the hydrogen ions through the thylakoid membrane to the chloroplast stroma.
