  1. In a chloroplast the highest number of protons are found in
    1. stroma
    2. lumen of thylakoids
    3. inter membrane space
    4. antennae complex
Correct Option: B

Proton concentration is higher in the lumen of thylakoid due to photolysis of water, H+ pumping and NADP reductase activity in stroma. During the light-dependent reaction, protons are pumped across the thylakoid membrane into the lumen making it acidic down to pH 4.
