Summary Introduction

To label: The indicated parts of a chloroplast.

Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process in which the green plants and algae obtain their nutrients. This process takes place in the chloroplast where chlorophyll molecules are present. The chloroplast contains the thylakoid membrane where the light reaction takes place. The end product of the light reaction is the formation of ATP and NADPH, which together help in driving the Calvin cycle in the stroma of the chloroplast.

Fig.1: The parts of chloroplast

Explanation of Solution

The chloroplast is a double membrane bound organelle, which contains the chlorophyll pigments, stroma, grana, and thylakoid. The outer membrane of the chloroplast provides protection and permeability to small ions into the chloroplast. The thylakoid present in the inner membrane of the chloroplast contains chlorophyll, which absorbs the light energy and provides green color to the chloroplast. The thylakoid membrane separates the chloroplast into two separate compartments. The interior compartment is the thylakoid lumen. It is a continuous aqueous phase that plays an important role in photophosphorylation.

The exterior compartment, which consists of colorless fluid, surrounding the grana (stacks of thylakoids) is called chloroplast stroma. Thylakoid space present in the chloroplast mostly serves to provide structure and to build up a concentration gradient of protons during photosynthesis. As the molecules pass the electrons in the electron transport chain, they pump hydrogen ion from the stroma to the thylakoid lumen. In the chloroplasts, ATP synthase is embedded into the thylakoid membrane. The H+ ions are pumped into the inner thylakoid space (thylakoid lumen) in the chloroplast by increasing its concentration in the thylakoid lumen that can be used to make ATP. The ATP is synthesized in the chloroplast stroma.

Outline a method for using apomixis to maintain feminized CannabisAssume apomixis is controlled by a single dominant gene. You can choose the type of apomixis: obligate or facultative, gametophytic or sporophytic. Discuss advantages and disadvantages of your proposed method.
Kinetics: One-Compartment First-Order Absorption 1. In vivo testing provides valuable insight into a drug’s kinetics. Assessing drug kinetics following multiple routes of administration provides greater insight than a single route of administration alone. The following data was collected in 250-g rats following bolus IV, oral (PO), and intraperitoneal (ip) administration.  Using this data and set of graphs, determine:(calculate for each variable) (a) k, C0, V, and AUC* for the bolus iv data  (b) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the po data  c) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the ip data  (d) relative bioavailability for po vs ip, Fpo/Fip  (e)absolute ip bioavailability, Fip  (f) absolute po bioavailability, Fpo
3. A promising new drug is being evaluated in human trials. Based on preliminary human tests, this drug is most effective when plasma levels exceed 30 mg/L.  Measurements from preliminary tests indicate the following human pharmacokinetic parameter values:  t1/2,elim = 4.6hr, t1/2,abs = 0.34hr, VD = 0.29 L/kg, Foral = 72%.  Based on these parameters, estimate the following if a 49 kg woman were to receive a 1000mg oral dose of this drug: (a) Estimate the plasma concentration of the drug at 1hr, 6 hr, and 20hr after taking the drug ( Concentration estimate) (b) Estimate the time for maximum plasma concentration (tmax).  (c) Estimate the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax).  (d) Estimate the time at which the plasma level first rises above 30 mg/L.  (Note this is a trial and error problem where you must guess a time, plug it into the concentration equation, and determine if it is close to 30 mg/L.  Hint:  based on part (a) it should be apparent that the answer is less than 1hr.)  (e)…
