In a chloroplast the highest number of protons are found in;
A
Lumen of thylakoids
B
Inter membrane space
C
Antennae complex
D
Stroma
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, the correct answer is ‘Lumen of thylakoids’.

Detailed explanation-2: -During photosynthetic electron transport, protons accumulate at high concentration inside the thylakoid space. The concentration gradient between the inside and outside of the thylakoids is the energy source used by the ATP synthase.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are about 10 to 100 thylakoids within a granum and about 40-60 grana in a plant cell. So, the correct answer is ‘10-100’.
