Concept explainers
To compare: The sketch diagrams illustrating a proton gradient involved in the chloroplast and mitochondria.
Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process by which carbon dioxide and water are used to produce glucose molecules using energy from sunlight. During this process, oxygen gas is evolved. Reactions of photosynthesis take place in the chloroplast of the plant cell that contains the green pigment chlorophyll.
To determine: Whether, in each sketch, the protons are being pumped into the inner most compartment or out of it.
Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process by which carbon dioxide and water are used to produce glucose molecules by using energy from sunlight. During this process, oxygen gas is evolved. The several reactions of the photosynthesis take place in the chloroplast of the plant cell that contains the green pigment chlorophyll.
To determine: Whether the direction of proton gradient matters in the chloroplast and mitochondria.

How does this process create adenosine triphosphate (ATP)? View keyboard shortcutsarrow_forwardQuestion 48 Observe this picture and choose the correct statement. B ATP ADP O A and B both represent an exergonic process O A and B both represent active transport « Previousarrow_forward
- Look at the figure below and answer the following questions. The organelles shown are called [Select] The locations within the organelle are identified by letters J- N. The letter O means other or not shown.. In [Select] synthesis (carbon fixation) taking place. In [Select] concentration of protons H+ In L you would find the light harvesting photosystems embedded. In N you would find a ATP synthase embedded. In [Select] J. Outer membrane. K. Inner membrane- L. Thylakoid you would find carbohydrate V membrane transport system with a proton pump embedded. M. Lumen- N. Stroma.- you would find a higher you would find a short electronarrow_forwardDefine the following terms:a. electron transportb. ETCc. Q cycled. proton motive forcee.

- Choose the best answer for following question. Bacteria do not have mitochondria, and yet they contain an electrontransport chain. On what membrane could this be located?arrow_forwardThe law of conservation of matter states that no matter on earth can be created or destroyed. Using the following equation: 6H2O + 6CO2 + Sunlight—> C6H12O6 + 6O2, explain how the process of photosynthesis is an example of this.arrow_forwardThen where are the protons and o2 formed likely to be released- in the lumen? or on the outer side of the membranearrow_forward
