During the light reactions of photosynthesis, the excited electrons are passed to an electron transport chain. If there is not an electron transport chain available to accept the electrons, what effect will this have? The plant will bypass the light reactions to continuously run the Calvin Cycle. The energy collected from light cannot be used and will instead damage the interior of the chloroplast. The photosystems will generate the needed hydrogen ion gradient. ATP will be immediately made by substrate-level phosphorylation rather than chemiosmosis.

Assume a thylakoid is somehow punctured so that the interior of the thylakoid is no longer separated from the stroma. This damage will most directly affect the _____.
