Thylakoid

Splitting water releases two electrons and two protons. The electrons are used to transport the protons from the stroma to the thylakoid space. The molecules that transport protons are specific cytochromes in the electron transport chain. This proton gradient is used to synthesize ATP ...

Energy from the electrons is used by the molecules in the electron transport chain to transport positive H ions from the stroma into the inner thylakoid space.Is this molecule NADP?and where do they get the positive H ion from?Thanks in advance!

... The reactions for photosynthesis take place in different areas of the chloroplast. The chloroplast has three membranes (inner, outer, thylakoid) and is divided into three compartments (stroma, thylakoid space, inter-membrane space). Dark reactions occur in the stroma. Light reactions ...

... required to produce carbohydrate molecules. Another system of membranes suspended in the stroma, consisting of set of flat disc like sacs called thylakoid. The thylakoid membrane encloses a fluid filled lumen or space, which is separated by thylakoid membrane with stroma. The chlorophyll is embedded ...

Try putting the figures for the mitochondrial inner membrane and the thylakoid membrane side-by-side and looking for similarities.
