Summary Introduction

To determine: The rate of ATP synthesis in chloroplasts when a compound makes the membrane more permeable to hydrogen ions that are added.

Concept introduction: ATP synthase synthesizes ATP in chloroplast by the action of Chemiosmosis. “Chemiosmosis is the movement of ions across a semi permeable membrane”. In photosynthesis or cellular respiration, ATP synthesis occurs because of the movement of hydrogen ions over a membrane.

Q27. Imagine that NASA’s Spirit Rover discovers a photosynthetic bacterium on Uranus that contains a single pigment. By using an onboard spectrophotometer, the pigment is found to have the absorption spectrum shown below. Which of the following conclusions about this pigment can be deduced from the spectrum shown? The pigment fluoresces green photons. The pigment is blue in colour. The pigment has a single excited state. The pigment reflects high-energy light.   A. 1,2 and 3 B. 1 and 3 C. 2 and 4 D. 4 only E. All of 1, 2, 3 and 4 are correct.

Challenge: In the process of photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide (CO,), water (H,O), and light energy to produce sugar (C,H,,O) and oxygen (O,). In the process of aerobic respiration, animals and plants release energy from sugar and oxygen and produce carbon dioxide and water. The chemical equations that describe these reactions look like this: 6CO, + 6H,0 + light→ C,H,,06 + 602 CH,,06 + 60, → 6CO, + 6H,0 + energy How do these equations explain why the total amount of O, and CO, remains the same?
