What causes there to be a H+ ion concentration gradient to build up inside the thylakoid space? Check all that apply. a.) The electrons provide energy for the H+ pump to transport more H+ ions into the thylakoid space.

b.) A special enzyme produces more H+ ions.

c.) Photons of light create more H+ ions.

d.) The photolysis of water releases H+ ions into the thylakoid space.

a.) The electrons provide energy for the H+ pump to transport more H+ ions into the thylakoid space.

d.) The photolysis of water releases H+ ions into the thylakoid space.

Explanation:

The thylakoid, which is found in the chloroplast, is the site of the first stage of photosynthesis (LIGHT DEPENDENT STAGE) in the cells of plants. The light stage of photosynthesis functions to produce energy (ATP) and NADPH for the second stage called Calvin cycle.

However, this ATP is generated by the power realized from the pumping of Hydrogen ions (H+) into the thylakoid lumen. The following causes the build up of H+ ions in the thylakoid space:

- Light photon hits the chlorophyll molecule, which is the photosynthetic pigment, to become charged. The electrons (e-) generated from this provide energy for the H+ pump to transport more H+ ions into the thylakoid space.

- Photolysis of water, which involves the splitting of water to produce hydrogen ions (H+) causes a build up of H+ in the thylakoid space.

1. what is the relationship between the shape of an enzyme and the reactions they catalyze?

2. how does an enzyme inhibitor work?

separate your answers so i dont get confused : )
