Photosyntheis related question (s):
When protons move out of the thylakoid, are they moving up or down their concentration gradient? (From low to high concentration or from high to low concentration?)
What protein(s) facilitate the transport of protons out of the thylakoid?
We can write the formula for photosynthesis as follows:
6 H2O + 6 CO2 + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
How would you write a formula for the light reactions? Include ATP, ADP, NADP and NADPH as relevant?
How would you write a formula for the Calvin cycle? Include ATP, ADP, NADP and NADPH as relevant.
Oxygenic photosynthesis in eukaryotes (in the chloroplasts of green algae and green plants) consumeswhich of the following substrate molecules (to generate glucose, water, and oxygen product molecules)?A. C12H22O11 + H2OB. C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2OC. 6CO2 + 12H2OD. C6H12O6 + C6H12O6E. 6CO2 + 12H2S
In chloroplasts, a greater pH gradient across the thylakoid membrane is required to power the synthesis of ATP than is required across the mitochondrial inner membrane. Explain this difference.

- For the chloroplast, the thylakoid membrane separates the thylakoid lumen from the stroma; the protons from the photosystems are transported, like with the mitochondrial inner membrane, against the gradient from the lumen to the stroma. However, the pH(lumen) – pH (stroma) is much larger, about 3.4. Calculate delta psi (the electric potential) for the thylakoid membrane, given that ∆G of proton transport is about the same as for the mitochondrion. Then comment on its permeability to ions, compared to the mitochondrial inner membrane’s permeability to ions.arrow_forwardsuppose the cytosolic pH of Plasmodium is 7.1.

- Photosynthesis and Respiration 121 Typical Plant Cell Chloroplasts Central Vacuole All of the unicellular algae and multicellular plants are eukaryotic and have specialized organelles called chloroplasts. The chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and enzymes for the photosynthesis process. The exceptions to this rule are the photosynthetic bacteria (cyanobacteria). They are prokaryotic; that is, they don't have cell organelles like chloroplasts. However, cyanobacteria do photosynthesis, and they have chlorophyll. The chloroplast has many specialized structures. Stacks of discs, called grana, contain the chlorophyll and act like photoelectric cells. When light shines on these grana, the electrons of the chlorophyll are "activated." This is the first stage of photosynthesis. The second stage of photosynthesis involves the building of sugar molecules from carbon dioxide and water. These two ingredients will not combine unless chemical energy is provided. That energy comes from the "activated"…arrow_forwardTransport across the inner membrane of chloroplasts depends on the proton gradient established during ATP synthesis, similar to mitochondria.
