A researcher is carrying out an experiment where she labels a protein with a fluorescent tag (so she can visualize its location in a cell) and introduces this tagged protein into the lumen of a single thylakoid. She observes her treated cells periodically and notices that the labeled protein can move between grana and is always in the lumen, but is never observed in the stroma. What can she deduce?

the protein likely travels through a common lumen shared by thylakoid membranes and grana, and cannot easily diffuse through the thylakoid membrane

the reduction and regeneration steps of the Calvin cycle would slow down and eventually stop
