The Proteins Associated with the Light-Dependent Reactions of Photosynthesis Are

Question

The proteins associated with the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis are located ____.  
A) on the outer membranes of the chloroplast
B) in the stroma
C) on the thylakoid membrane
D) throughout the cytoplasm of plant cells
E) in the thylakoid compartment

Accepted Answer

The proteins associated with the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis are located on the thylakoid membrane, a specialized membrane structure found inside the chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions take place. The thylakoid membrane is responsible for capturing and converting light energy into chemical energy through a series of complex reactions involving proteins and pigments such as chlorophyll.
