The experiments described in Figures 1 and 2, which demonstrate the chemiosmotic mechanism. Given: Figure 1: An experiment to demonstrate chemiosmosis. Figure 2A and B: The formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP); (A) The structure of ATP synthase and (B) Demonstration that ATP synthase has a rotary motor. Introduction: Chemiosmosis is the second stage of the oxidative phosphorylation after the electron transport chain (ETC). As a result of the transport of electrons across the respiratory chain in ETC, a proton concentration gradient takes place to the intermembrane space from the mitochondrial matrix. In chemiosmosis, the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) occurs by the influx of the protons back into the matrix of the mitochondria.

What were the results from the FTM (Fluid Thioglycerate Media) for the three bacteria (M. luteus, C. sporogenes, S. aureus)? What were the oxygen classification given to each? Please explain what this classification means.

1) The inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus was studied in pomegranate juice heated at 75°- 95°C. The slopes for the inactivation of this bacteria were calculated from the linear lines in semi-log graphical paper. The slope values were presented in Table 1. a) Determine the temperature change needed to inactivate this bacteria by 90%. b) Temperature change to inactivate Bacillus cereus in pomegranate juice by 90% at the same temperature range was 29°F. At 75°-95°C temperature range, which bacteria will be more affected by the temperature changes? Commend on your answer in one sentence Table 1- Slope values for the inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus in pomegranate juice heated at various temperature Temp.
