Question
Chapter 19, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: A detailed description of photosynthesis light reaction should be compared with the given diagram and the defects are to be identified.
Concept introduction: Photosynthesis is the process which stores energy from sunlight as chemical energy in glucose. The phenomenon happens in the chloroplast of plant cells. Photosynthesis takes place in two main stages - light reaction and dark reaction. The diagram given in the question is an incomplete representation of light reaction.

Chemiosmosis. ATP synthesis in chloroplasts is usually light dependent; it does not happen in the dark.
When researchers shifted isolated chloroplasts from a low pH solution to a more alkaline (higher pH) solution, ATP synthesis occurred even in the absence of light! This was an experiment used to support the chemiosmosis mechanism of ATP formation in chloroplasts. Why?
What would happen if the isolated chloroplasts were shifted to a lower pH solution?
What would be the results if the above experiments were performed in the presence of light?
If these experiments were performed in mitochondria instead of chloroplasts, what results would we expect?
Life requires energy. Describe the basic principles of bioenergetics in an animal cell. How is the flow and transformation of energy different in a photosynthesizing cell? Include the role of ATP and enzymes in your discussion.
Help please. This question is specifically asking for the identification of the biomolecules that are attached to the sphingosine core, then we need to answer what bond causes those biomolecules to be connected to the sphingosine, what reaction created that bond (maybe addition or oxidation etc.), what were the starting materials and lastly what reagents or conditions are needed for the reaction to occur. Thank you!

Historical Discovery Process The chemical changes that occur during photosynthesis have been investigated for the past 300 years. The general highlights of these discoveries help us to understand the basic process of photosynthesis. Three centuries ago people wondered where plants came from. They knew that plants grew out of the ground, but how that happened was a complete mystery to them. The first step in answering the question was to plant a small tree in a large pot supported off the ground. They did this so that the soil of the container was separated from the soil of the earth. Only the dirt in the pot was available to the plant. The people cared for the plant during one year. At the end of the year the small tree had gained 100 kg.

- Select all that apply. What is true about the conformational aspects of coupling? O The proton gradient is involved in the release of bound ATP from the synthase as a result of conformational change. O The conformational states interconvert as a result of proton flux through the synthase. There are two sites for substrate on the synthase and two possible conformational states: open (0) and tight-binding (T). Dinitrophenol binds to and inhibits ATP synthase conformational changes, thus inhibiting ATP synthesis. The Fo portion of ATP synthase acts as a rotary motor.arrow_forwardOH affromah.
