Hydrogen ion flow out of the thylakoid compartments ____.
A) occurs between photosystems I and II
B) is called the hydrogen transfer system
C) provides energy to produce ATP molecules

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrogen ion flow out of the thylakoid compartments provides the energy to produce ATP molecules through a process known as chemiosmosis. This occurs as the hydrogen ions move down their concentration gradient through ATP synthase, driving the production of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
