DRAW IT The following diagram represents an experiment with isolated thylakoids. The thylakoids were first made acidic by soaking them in a solution at pH 4. After the thylakoid space reached pH 4, the thylakoids were transferred to a basic solution at pH 8. The thylakoids then made ATP in the dark. (See Concept 2.51&1 to review pH.)
Draw an enlargement of part of the thylakoid membrane in the beaker with the solution at pH 8. Draw ATP synthase. Label the areas of high H· concentration and low W concentration. Show the direction protons flow through the enzyme, and show the reaction where ATP is synthesized. Would ATP end up in the thylakoid or outside of it? Explain why the thylakoids in the experiment were able to make ATP in the dark.

- Which statement about thylakoids in eukaryotes is not correct? a. Thylakoids are assembled into stacks. b. Thylakoids exist as a maze of folded membranes. c. The space surrounding thylakoids is called stroma. d. Thylakoids contain chlorophyll.arrow_forwardA key experiment that helped put doubts to rest regarding the chemiosomotic theory used an artificial vesicle, a light activated proton pump, and ATP synthase. Which of the following are true about this experiment? (select all that apply) Group of answer choices The inside of the vesicle is more negatively charged when the light is turned on ATP production would decrease if the proton pump was not included in the experiment Adding UCP1 into the experiment would increase ATP production ATP production increases when the light is turned on The pH inside the vesicle decreases when the light is turned on The final stage of the electron transport chain is the transfer of the electrons to ATP synthase. Group of answer choices True False Complex I can accept electrons from NADH using binding sites on both the matrix and intermembrane space sides of the inner mitochondrial membrane Group of answer choices True False Different iron-sulfur clusters can have different…arrow_forwardYou are talking with a winemaker about yeast. "I know that yeast can survive under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions," he says, "but what I don't understand is why they seem to need so much more sugar under anaerobic conditions. I think they gobble a hundred times as much sugar." Can you explain to him why yeast might need more sugar under anaerobic conditions than under aerobic conditions? Is his estimation of a hundred times as much sugar reasonable?arrow_forward
- What is a difference between Substrate-level Phosphoratation, and Oxidative Phosphoralation? Question options: Substrate-level Phosphoratation only occurs in the cytoplasm, not in the mitochondria In Oxidative Phosphorylation, ADP is oxidized, forming ATP Oxidative-level Phosphorylation only occurs in the mitochondria, not in the cytoplasm. Substrate-level Phosphorylation can only occur in the presence of oxygenarrow_forwardA microbe lives solely on acetate. It has an Electron Transport Chain driven by oxygen that has two hydrogen pumps and both NADH and FADH deliver their hydrogens (and electrons) to the first pump hence each generates 2 ATP. How many ATP are generated per acetate molecule?arrow_forwardPlease ASAP. Thankyou. If the final height of the water in a beaker/container on side A is not equal to side B but the sugar concentrations are equal which condition/s must be true? (water in side A starts higher than side B) The sugar is not charged. Water can pass through the membrane. This is not physically possible. The membrane is permeable to sugar.arrow_forward

What will happen? A. The scheme will run in reverse. B. ATP will be able to be made without light. C. Light will be emitted by the thylakoids. D. The membranes will dissolve.arrow_forwardHeterotrophs Group of answer choices cannot produce their own organic molecules (such as sugars) directly. include all plants but only some animals. can convert inorganic molecules such as CO2 into organic molecules. undergo photosythesis but do not undergo cellular respiration.arrow_forward
