The pH of the inner thylakoid space has been measured, as have the pH of the stroma and of the cytosol of a particular plant cell. Which, if any, relationship would you expect to find?
a. the pH within the thylakoid is less than that of the stroma
b. there is no consisten relationship
c. the pH of the stroma is lower than that of the other two measurements
d. the pH of the stroma is higher than that of the thylakoid space but lower than that of the cytosol

Answer from: kailahgranger

a. the pH within the thylakoid is less than that of the stroma

Explanation:

The pH of thylakoid membrane is 8 at normal conditions but it became highly acidic like 4 during photosynthesis. The electron transport chain utilize the energy released by excited electrons to pump the H+ ions to lumen of thylakoid membrane from stroma during light reaction of photosynthesis. The H+ ions are present in both the stroma and thylakoid membranes. These high potential H+ ions are utilized by ATP synthase complex for the production of ATP.

We know that more the H+ ions lesser will be the pH and lumen have the high concentration of H+ ions. While the pH of stroma is normally kept acidic by plants to create a concentration and potential difference of H+ ions for the production of ATP. That why the lumen have lower pH than stroma of chloroplast.

Answer from: bmshaw596

A.the pH within the thylakoid is less than that of the stroma

Explanation:

Hydrogen atom is constantly been transported into the stroma by the NADPH2 from Kreb Cycle; and constantly splits into Protons and Electrons.

The electrons forms a chain of transport mechanism,(ETC) which generate pumping energy called Proton Motive Force.

The PMF continuously pumps protons into the thylakoid space, (thylakoid intramembranes)setting up electrochemical gradients.This lowers the pH, increases the acidity of the thylakoid and thylakoid space compare to the stroma.

correct answer is a. and d.

Answer from: Quest

It depends on the surface of the levels. the rougher the surface, the greater is the frictional force. for rougher surfaces, you would need to exert greater force to move the object. the concept is that, you must overcome the frictional force in order to bring the object into motion. this is the reason why we add lubricants to the joints so they could easily move. this answer was on
