What experiment conducted by andre jagendorf with isolated thylakoid membranes proved that possibles solutions?A. Blue and red light, but not green, caused photosynthetic production of oxygenB. The ATP synthase complex functioned as a molecular rotary engineC. Molecular oxygen (O2) is derived from water, not CO2D. ATP and NADPH are the direct products of the light reactions, not sugar. E. ATP synthesis could be energized by a proton gradient.

The correct answer is option E, that is, synthesis of ATP could be mediated by a proton gradient.

Explanation:

Andre Jagendorf inserted chloroplasts for many hours within a buffer of pH 4 and then instantaneously mixed that with the buffer of pH 8. He came to known that in the stroma, a change in pH was witnessed, that is, it moved to 8 while in the thylakoid space there was no change, that is, the pH remained at 4. He then isolated the thylakoid and put it in the dark, he noticed that it produced ATP. This proves the hypothesis of Peter Mitchell that the production of ATP is mediated by proton-motive force.
