Chloroplast thylakoids are illuminated while suspended in a solution containing ADP and Pi. ATP is produced under illumination. When the surrounding solution is buffered so that the pH outside the thylakoids becomes equal to the pH inside the thylakoid lumen, ATP production decreases even though light intensity and electron transfer through photosystems remain unchanged. The thylakoid membrane remains intact and impermeable to protons except through ATP synthase. This focuses on how light-driven electron transfer establishes a proton gradient used to power ATP formation.
