Question
Chapter 19, Problem 21E
Summary Introduction
To propose: A function for the K+ channel in the thylakoid stromal lamellae in the chloroplasts of Arabidopsis thaliana.
Concept introduction:
The major plant nutrient potassium is accumulated in higher amounts in the roots and are distributed all over the plants. The membrane transport of potassium can be facilitated by utilizing potassium channels and secondary potassium transporters.
