Thylakoid space acts as a reservoir for hydrogen Thylakoid space acts as a reservoir for hydrogen ions (Hions (H++))
Each time water is oxidized, two HH++ remain in the thylakoid space
Electrons yield energyUsed to pump HH++ across thylakoid membraneMove from stroma into the thylakoid space
Flow of HH++ back across thylakoid membraneEnergizes ATP synthaseEnzymatically produces ATP from ADP + Pi
This method of producing ATP is called chemiosmosis
