(a)
To explain: The direction in which the equilibrium lies and the value of equilibrium constant at 25oC
Introduction: Equilibrium is attained in a reaction when the rate at which the products are formed becomes equal to the rate at which the reactants are being consumed. One can change the direction of the reaction by changing the conditions around the reaction. Change in pressure or in temperature can make the reaction move in forward or backward direction.
(b)
To determine: The direction in which the reaction proceeds in standard conditions and the value of

- Oxygenic photosynthesis in eukaryotes (in the chloroplasts of green algae and green plants) consumeswhich of the following substrate molecules (to generate glucose, water, and oxygen product molecules)?A. C12H22O11 + H2OB. C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2OC. 6CO2 + 12H2OD. C6H12O6 + C6H12O6E. 6CO2 + 12H2Sarrow_forwardThe 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+.)arrow_forwardTrue or False? In photosynthesis, both photosystems (I and II) depend on the energy of sunlight to excite a chlorophyll molecule until it releases an electron.arrow_forward
- It is believed that the ratio of cyclic photophosphorylation to noncyclicphotophosphorylation changes in response to metabolic demands. Ineach of the following situations, would you expect the ratio to increase,decrease, or remain unchanged?(a) Chloroplasts carrying out both the Calvin cycle and the reduction ofnitrite (NO2-) to ammonia (This process does not require ATP.)(b) Chloroplasts carrying out not only the Calvin cycle but also extensiveactive transport(c) Chloroplasts using both the Calvin cycle and the C4 pathwayarrow_forwardtrue or false During the carboxylation phase of the Calvin cycle, CO2 combines with ribulose 1,5 - bisphosphate and the final product of the Calvin cycle is G3P. Plastoquinone is involved in the electron chain transport system in the mitochondria In eukaryotic cell particularly in the nucleus, one CAN NOT find microtubulesarrow_forwardBioKemi!! Make a theoretical calculation of how many ATP molecule of acetyl-CoA to Carbon dioxide and water if the entire proton gradient across the mitochondrias inner membrane can be used for ATP production and when the ATP synthase has 15 c-subunits? All steps in the calculations must be reported Hand written solution otherwise down votearrow_forward
- Please don't copy Complete the Calvin-Benson cycle if 12 CO2 molecules are fixed. Indicate the number of starting products, intermediates and final products. Count your carbons at each step. How many glucose molecules can be made?arrow_forwardIt is believed that the ratio of cyclic photophosphorylation to noncyclic photophosphorylation changes in response to metabolic demands. In each of the following situations, would you expect the ratio to increase, decrease, or remain unchanged? (a) Chloroplasts carrying out both the Calvin cycle and the reduction of nitrite (NO2 -) to ammonia (This process does not require ATP.) (b) Chloroplasts carrying out not only the Calvin cycle but also extensive active transport (c) Chloroplasts using both the Calvin cycle and the C4 pathwayarrow_forward. Discuss the similarities and differences between the Calvin cycle and the pentose phosphate pathway.arrow_forward
- During respiration various oxidation reduction reaction occur in plants. Could you expand this point further?arrow_forwardMultiple choice Ultimately, the goal of cellular respiration is to strip electrons from glucose. These stripped electrons are used to generate the energy in oxidative phosphorylation that is needed to: -Actively transport H+ into the intermembrane space -Actively transport NAD+ into the intermembrane space -Turn on ATP synthase -Allow H+ to diffuse down its concentration gradient into the mitochondrial matrixarrow_forwardTrue or False? The following is the correct sequence for the movement of electrons during the light-dependent reactions of plants: A) P680 --> P700 --> water --> NADP+ In cellular metabolism, photosynthesis uses solar energy to produce energy-rich organics; respiration breaks down energy-rich organics to synthesize ATParrow_forward
