If the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) outside of the thylakoids were equal to the concentration of H+ inside the thylakoids, how would it affect the chloroplasts?
Answer
The chloroplasts would be unable to generate ATP.
The chloroplasts would release excess O2.
The chloroplasts would make more NADPH than usual.
The chloroplasts would make more glucose molecules.
