Summary Introduction

To find: What might happen to the ATP synthesis process if a compound is added which makes the membrane freely permeable to hydrogen ions?

Introduction:

In the process of cellular metabolism, ATP is an extremely important factor. In every biological system, it is by far the most significant contributor to free energy. It is synthesized in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells, during the process of respiration, and in the chloroplasts of the same cells, during the process of photosynthesis.

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.
Please answer fast  Many commercial herbicides act by inhibiting photosynthetic electron transport. They are investigating three herbicides for potential inhibitors of photosynthetic electron transport. a) How can you determine whether these substances have an inhibitory effect on photosynthetic electron transport? How can you quantify the effect? b) An inhibitor has produced a strong effect in "in vitro" tests, but the effect is significantly less in "in vivo" tests. What can be the reason for the reduced effect "in vivo"?
It is biochemical reactions that enable organisms to harness sunlight to manufacture organic molecules? It is a molecule whose high energy phosphate bonds power many biological processes? This is a disk-like structure that makes up the inner membrane of a chloroplast? These are plant pigments responsible for bright red, yellow and orange colors in many fruits and vegetables? These are photosynthetic pigments efficient at absorbing orange, red, yellow, and green light, wavelengths that are not well absorbed by chlorophyll a?
