Assertion (A): | Chemiosmosis in chloroplasts is crucial for ATP synthesis. |
Reason (R): | The movement of protons across the thylakoid membrane from the stroma into the thylakoid lumen drives ATP synthesis |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (R) |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True |
Assertion (A): | ATP synthesis in chloroplasts depends on a proton gradient. |
Reason (R): | Protons build up in the space between the outer and inner chloroplast membrane during the light-dependent reactions. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A). |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
