Chapter 14, Problem 17Q

A.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason that the burst of ATP synthesis occurs in a chloroplasts that is transferred from acidic solution to basic solution.

Concept introduction: Photosynthesis in plants occurs in the chloroplast region during the daylight hours, and ATP and NADPH is produced. Chloroplast has an inner membrane that is surrounded by a large space called stroma. The thylakoid space is the third internal compartment that is the space inside each thylakoid.

B.

Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether light is needed for this experiment to work.

Concept introduction: Photosynthesis in plants occurs in the chloroplast region during the daylight hours, and ATP and NADPH is produced. Chloroplast has an inner membrane that is surrounded by a large space called stroma. The thylakoid space is the third internal compartment that is the space inside each thylakoid.

C.

Summary Introduction

To explain: If the solutions were switched, so that the first incubation is in the pH 8 solution and the second one in the pH 4 solution.

Concept introduction: Photosynthesis in plants occurs in the chloroplast region during the daylight hours, and ATP and NADPH is produced. Chloroplast has an inner membrane that is surrounded by a large space called stroma. The thylakoid space is the third internal compartment that is the space inside each thylakoid.

D.

Summary Introduction

To explain:  Whether the experiment supports or questions the chemiosmotic model.
