  4. Statement I: A part of ATP synthase enzyme called the cF1 is embedded in the membrane of thylakoid forming a transmembrane channel that carries out facilitated diffusion of protons across the membrane. Statement II: Another portion of ATP synthase called cF0 protrudes on outer surface of the thylakoid membrane towards the side facing the stroma.

Q. Statement I : A part of ATP synthase enzyme called the $cF_1$ is embedded in the membrane of thylakoid forming a transmembrane channel that carries out facilitated diffusion of protons across the membrane.
Statement II : Another portion of ATP synthase called $cF_0$ protrudes on outer surface of the thylakoid membrane towards the side facing the stroma.

Solution:

• ATPase enzyme has two parts; one called the $F_0$ is embedded in the membrane of thylakoid and forms a transmembrane channel that carries out facilitated diffusion of protons across the membrane.
• The other portion is called $F_1$ and protrudes on the thylakoid membrane on the side that faces the stroma.
