Identify the correct statements regarding chemiosmotic hypothesis :
(a) Splitting of the water molecule takes place on the inner side of the membrane.
(b) Protons accumulate within the lumen of the thylakoids.
(c) Primary acceptor of electron transfers the electrons to an electron carrier.
(d) NADP reductase enzyme is located on the stroma side of the membrane.
(e) Protons increase in number in stroma.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(a), (b) and (e)
(a), (b) and (d)

(b), (c) and (e)
Solution
Chemi-osmotic hypothesis of ATP formation was given by P. A. Mitcheli. According to which proton flow causes ATP formation. Primary acceptor of electrons, i.e., Phaeophytin transfers its electron to proton carrier that is Plastoquinone, non an $\mathrm{e}^{-}$carrier.
