Chapter 10, Problem 10TYPSS
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Photosystem I (PS I) is a protein complex present in thylakoid membrane of plants that utilizes light energy to produce energy molecules ATP and NADPH. Photosystem II (PS II) is the first protein complex present in thylakoid membrane of plants where light energy is converted into highly energized electrons.

- The light reactions in chloroplasts power the creation of ATP via chemiosmosis. In relation to this process, which of the following is true? 1. ATP synthase breaks ATP down into ADP, creating energy to fuel chemiosmosis.2. Oxygen is used as a source of electrons to replace those lost in photosystem II.3. Chemiosmosis during the light reactions is also used in the reduction of NADPH and FADH2.4. As excited electrons fall back down to a lower energy state, they create a proton gradient that is used to fuel the phosphorylation of ADP.arrow_forwardYou performed an experiment on photosynthesis on Elodea, using bromothymol blue as an indicator forpH. Your two light conditions were red light and blue light. You found that in blue light, your solutionturned a nice cobalt blue, and in red light it turned green.a.

- 2.) A.) Explain how electron transfer leads to ATP biosynthesis in the light reactions of photosynthesis. You must give details about how electron flow builds a pH gradient and a description of the compartments in the chloroplast in relation to pH. Also, compare the ETC of the mitochondrion with the ETC of the light reactions for both the source and destination for electrons. B.) Would ATP biosynthesis happen if ionophores, which would create holes in the thylakoid membrane and allow uncontrolled passage of charged molecules such as protons between compartments, are provided to the chloroplast? Why or why not? C.) How would you modify Complex I of the electron transport chain to decrease ATP yield from Step 3 of β-oxidation? As part of this, you must explain why there is a difference in ATP yield between NADH and FADH 2 AND give a specific change to the ETC that would decrease ATP yield from Step 3arrow_forwardIf you could replace all of the plant ATP synthase with ATP synthase enzymes from animal cells, oriented such that the Fo complex was in the thylakoid membrane with the open channel facing the thylakoid space, and the F1 complex was present in the stroma, how would this affect the ability of photosystem II to generate ATP? Assume that the animal cell ATP synthase functions normally in the chloroplast after replacement.arrow_forwardWhich of the following descriptions about photorespiration is not correct? Select one: a. Rubisco binds O2 instead of CO2. b. Carbon dioxide is released without producing ATP. c.

It is coupled to proton transport into the stroma.arrow_forwardIn the photosynthesis lab, a group of students found that in the blue light condition, there was a change in absorbance (ΔA620) of 0.324 in extracted spinach chloroplasts. The students later went on a hike and located a plant they had never seen before and were interested in how the photosynthesis rates would compare to their experiment with spinach chloroplasts. They extracted chloroplasts of the unknown green-leaved plant and exposed them to the same experimental conditions as before. The students calculated the ΔA620 to be 0.100. Which plant (spinach or unknown) has the highest rate of photosynthesis? Explain your answer using evidence, being sure to demonstrate your understanding of the dependent variable.arrow_forwardIn photosynthesis, contrast the light reactions with the light independent reactions, in terms of goals, inputs, and outputs of each. Spatially where do they take place (which parts of the chloroplast)? (Optional, for further discussion: Could there be light reactions without light-independent reactions, or visa-versa?)arrow_forward
