B)Light would not be able to reach the photosystems

D)The proton gradient could not be maintained

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thylakoid interior forms a sealed compartment which allows for the maintenance of a proton gradient that is critical for ATP synthesis during photosynthesis. Without this compartment, the proton gradient could not be maintained. A, B, and C are not correct choices as the absence of a sealed compartment would not directly affect the location of the electron transport chain, the ability of light to reach the photosystems or water splitting.
