Question

Which of the following statements describe events that occur in photosynthesizing chloroplasts? The electron transport chain attaches electrons to phosphate molecules to produce ATP Energy-containing sugar molecules are synthesized by enzymes in the stroma using carbon dioxide. Photosystems containing pigment molecules capture light energy and transfer the energy to electrons. Hydrogen ions accumulate in the space inside the thylakoid, creating a H ion concentration gradient. Stomata in the chloroplast membrane open to allow CO2 to enter and 02 to escape from the chloroplast. Incorrect At least one of your choices is incorrect. Gases, such as CO2 and 02, can pass directly through the hospholipids of the chloroplast membrane without having to use special pores. Where are stomata located? Electrons are incorporated into NADPH molecules, not into ATP molecules, at the end of the electron transport chain. How is ATP synthesized in the first stage of photosynthesis?

Explanation / Answer

The correct statements are

First statement is wrong because electrons are transported to NADH not ATP and last statement is incorrect because stomata are located in epidermis of leaf and not on chloroplast membrane.
