Summary Introduction

To draw: A simple sketch that illustrates an inner mitochondrial membrane that is actively involved in chemiosmosis. Then, label the two compartments it separates, ATP synthase complex, the proton gradient, and the compartment in which ATP is synthesized.

Concept introduction: The process in which the ions are moved by diffusion across a semi-permeable membrane to synthesize ATP is known as chemiosmosis. This process takes place inside the mitochondria during the aerobic cellular respiration. During the course of chemiosmosis, the ions move down an electrochemical gradient (gradient of the electrochemical potential) by ATP synthase. The ATP synthase utilizes the proton-motive force to phosphorylate adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and forms ATP.

A farmer has noticed that his soybean plants produce more beans in some years than others. He claims to always apply the same amount of fertilizer to the plants, but he suspects the difference in crop yield may have something to do with the amount of water the crops receive. The farmer has observed that the soybeans on his farm usually receive between 0 to 0.5 inches of water per day, but he is unsure of the optimal average daily amount of water with which to irrigate. 1. State a question that addresses the farmer’s problem 2. Conduct online research on “soybean crop irrigation" and record a brief summary of the findings  3. Construct a testable hypothesis and record i 4. Design an experiment to test the hypothesis and describe the procedures, variables, and data to be collected  5. What is the purpose of a control group in an experiment? What would the control groups be for each of your designed experiments in this exercise? 6. Describe the data that would be recorded in each of the…
