SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY • MAKE CONNECTIONS The following diagram represents an experiment with isolated thylakoids. The thylakoids were first made acidic by soakingthem 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 3.3 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 H+ 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.

- A 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_forwardDraw a basic drawing of a thylakoid membrane that is actively engaged in chemiosmosis and mark the two compartments it divides.

- 1. What would be the effect on ATP production during chemiosmosis and oxidative phorphorylation, if the pH within the inner membrane space of the mitochondrion were decreased, assuming no effect of pH on the structure of proteins in the membrane? 2. What would be the effect on production of ATP from photosynthesis, assuming no effect on enzyme/protein stability, if the pH of the chloroplast stroma were lowered?arrow_forwardMatch the number of the label in the diagram (below) with the appropriate site or structure from the list that follows. e Ca e dependet aon water-piting comples plasticyanin label 1 label 3 e label 5 g label 7 a b label 2 d label 4 f label 6 81. stroma 82. photosystem I 83. photosystem II 84. thylakoid lumen 85. electron transport 86. cytochrome complex 87.

- 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_forwardQ1/What does it mean periplasmic space? Q2/ what does it mean phsphoenolpyruvate?

Engelmann conducted an experiment to test which wavelengths of light are important for photosynthesis. He placed a strand of Spirogyra (a filamentous green alga) across a glass slide. He illuminated the slide with a spectrum of colors created by a crystal prism. He then added a drop of water containing bacteria that use aerobic respiration. Watch the following YouTube video to see his results: https:/lyoutu.be/Rt37Hyn4Qv4 Explain the significance of Engelmann's experiment and how it relates to the absorption spectra of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. 6 Label the following: thylakoid membrane, stroma. Draw arrows where water and carbon dioxide enter and where oxygen and sugars exit. Be clear as to whether these substances are entering or exiting the thylakoid membrane or the stroma. 7 Where in the chloroplast do the light reactions occur? 8 Where in the chloroplast do the Calvin cycle reactions occur? 9 What 2 environmental inputs are necessary for the noncyclic light…arrow_forward
