View Full Version : energy-producing region in plant faerielynx 11-20-2007, 01:52 AM Hi, i read this question in another forum, but the answer wasn't clear. Does anyone know which membrane contains all of the energy-producing regions in a plant? Is it the chloroplast outer membrane, chloroplast inner membrane or the thylakoid membrane? Thanks... bigstix808 11-20-2007, 10:42 AM Hi, i read this question in another forum, but the answer wasn't clear. Does anyone know which membrane contains all of the energy-producing regions in a plant? Is it the chloroplast outer membrane, chloroplast inner membrane or the thylakoid membrane? Thanks... photosystems I, II, & ATP Synthase are found embedded in the membrane of the thylakoids (pancake looking things) found INSIDE the chloroplasts (stroma). the photosystems take light energy and use it to pump H+ into the thylakoid space. then, just like in mitochondria, those H+ follow a [ ] gradient through the ATP Synthase all while producing ATP. hope that helps:cool: |
