The function of the phylochoid membrane is most similar to that of the mitochondrial, inner membrane, outer membrane, matrix, intermembrane space, or the plasma membrane.
00:12
Okay, so what is the function of the phyloquid membrane? well, it participates in the light -dependent reactions of photosynthesis, of photosynthesis.
00:25
And so it contains plenty of chlorophyll, but it also contains an electron transport chain.
00:34
Because during the process of the light -dependent reactions, you get the capture of photons for some energy, and that energy is used to split water, they get some electrons and some protons, and you also get the involvement of an electron transport chain.
00:52
So there's a series of membrane -bound proteins where the electrons are passed from donor to acceptor, donor to acceptor, and it goes down this pathway, the electron goes down energy levels, and the released energy, as a result of this, is used to pump protons across the membrane.
01:08
Those protons are then allowed back down their gradient through the membrane, as long as they go through atp synthase.
01:15
So their energy is used to produce atp.
01:18
So you get atp production...
