What affect would a damaged thylakoid membrane have on photosynthesis?
|
|
The damage would affect the flow of electrons through the mitochondria.
|
|
|
The damage to the thylakoid would affect the splitting of the water molecule.

|
The sodium-potassium pump would be affected by a damaged thylakoid.
|
|
|
A damaged thylakoid would affect ATP synthesis.
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -If the thylakoid membrane becomes damaged, causing the inside of the thylakoid to mix with the stroma, there will be no electrochemical proton gradient development. This will affect the production of ATP.
Detailed explanation-2: -All electron-transport processes occur in the thylakoid membrane: to make ATP, H+ is pumped into the thylakoid space, and a backflow of H+ through an ATP synthase then produces the ATP in the chloroplast stroma.
