A) What role do proton gradients play in the process of photosynthesis proton gradients allow B) Where are proton gradients formed?

C) Explain where and how the chloroplast or mitochondria uses passive transport and active transport to complete photosynthesis or cellular respiration.Why is an isotonic buffered extraction medium used to isolate the chloroplasts? 1.To gently lyse the chloroplasts, leaving the electron transport membranes intact, whilst allowing DCPIP access 2.To maintain a constant acidic pH and favourable hyper-osmotic conditions, to ensure that the chloroplasts remained intact and functional during extraction 3.To gently separate the chloroplasts from each other, leaving the electron transport membranes intact, whilst allowing DCPIP access 4.To maintain a constant physiological pH and favourable iso-osmotic conditions, to ensure that the chloroplasts remained intact and functional during extraction.Assume a pH gradient of 4.0 units across a thylakoid membrane, with the lumen more acidic than the stroma. What is the longest wavelength of light that could provide enough energy per photon to pump one proton against this gradient, assuming a 20% efficiency in photosynthesis and T = 25 °C?
- In 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.You performed an experiment on photosynthesis on Elodea, using bromothymol blue as an indicator forpH.

- Consider how the Hill Reaction might be used to investigate how the wavelength of light influences the rate electrons move in the electron transport chain of the chloroplast. a) Design an experiment to compare the effects of blue light and green light on the Hill Reaction. (Assume that you have filters that you can attach to your light source to control the wavelength of light.) b) Based on your knowledge of photosynthesis, how would you expect the color of the light to effect the movement of electrons? c) Draw a line graph of your expected results.In chloroplasts, the light reactions power the creation of ATP via chemiosmosis. In relation to this process, which of the following is true? a) ATP synthase breaks ATP down into ADP, creating energy to fuel chemiosmosis. b) Oxygen is used as a source of electrons to replace those lost in photosystem II. c) Chemiosmosis during the light reactions is also used in the reduction of NADPH and FADH2. d) 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.Daniel Arnon and coworkers carried out experiments with intact, salt- washed chloroplasts to study photophosphorylation. When the chloroplasts were illuminated in the presence of ADP +P, ATP was produced, but oxygen was not produced or nor consumed. ATP formation was not accom- panied by a measurable electron transport involving any external electron donor or acceptor. The overall reaction for this result is: ADP + P -", ATP When NADP+ was included in addition to the ADP + P, ilumination of the intact chloroplats again resulted in resulted in the photophosphorylation of ADP to ATP. In addition, the NADPpt was reduced to NADPH + H* and o, was produced. Moreover, the light-induced reduction of NADP* was greatly decreased if ADP + P; were ommitted. The equation for this reaction is: NADP* + H,0 + ADP + R -", NADPH + H + ATP + }02 Briefly describe the mechanism(s) of these two types of photophosphoryla- tion that explain all of these results.
