ATP is generated when protons flow through the cytochrome complex in the thylakoid membrane. True False

Solution

Yes True.ATP is generated when protons flow through the cytochrome complex in the thylakoid membrane

The proton-motive force generated by the light reactions is converted into ATP by the ATP synthase of chloroplasts, also called the CF1-CF0 complex (C stands for chloroplast and F for factor). CF1-CF0 ATP synthase closely resembles the F1-F0 complex of mitochondria. CF0 conducts protons across the thylakoid membrane, whereas CF1catalyzes the formation of ATP.
