During respiration various oxidation reduction reaction occur in plants. Could you expand this point further?
The compound Carbonyl cyanide-p-trifluoromethoxyphenyl hydrazone (FCCP) acts as an uncoupler of electrochemical gradients (in both mitochondria and chloroplasts) by shuttling protons across membranes. Predict the effect of a high dose of FCCP on the synthesis of ATP and NADPH in photosynthesis. Rationalize your answersAnswer separately with prediction and reason please thank you so much
Bacterium Y is photosynthetic. You want to decrease the ability of Bacterium Y to produce glucose through photosynthesis. Explain how you could manipulate the light reactions of photosynthesis to decrease glucose production during the dark reactions in Bacterium Y. Include the name of the pathway that makes glucose during the dark reactions, which/how molecules from the light reactions are used in this pathway, and what specific steps of this pathway would be affected by your manipulations.

The Relative Efficiency of ATP Synthesis in Noncyclic versus Cyclic Photophosphorylation If noncyclic photosynthetic electron transport leads to the translocation of 7 H+/2e- and cyclic photosynthetic electron transport leads to the translocation of 2 H+/e-, what is the relative photosynthetic efficiency of ATP synthesis (expressed as the number of photons absorbed per ATP synthesized) for noncyclic versus cyclic photophosphorylation? (Assume that the CF1CF0-ATP synthase yields 3 ATP/14 H+.)

1) Trypanosomes living in the bloodstream obtain all their energy from glycolysis. They take up glucose from the host’s blood and excrete pyruvate as a waste product. In this part of their life cycle, trypanosomes do not carry out any oxidative phosphorylation, but they do use another oxygen-dependent pathway, which is absent in mammals, to oxidize NADH. a. Why is the oxygen-dependent pathway necessary? b. Would this pathway be necessary if the trypanosome excreted lactate rather than pyruvate? c. Why would the oxygen-dependent pathway be a good target for antiparasitic drugs?
