The hypothesis that determines the role of Fe2+ (ferrous ion) for photosynthesis in the given bacteria and the methodology to test this hypothesis. Introduction: The process by which autotrophic organisms are able to synthesize food is referred to as photosynthesis. The sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water are the raw materials for the process of photosynthesis. Sunlight is trapped by the autotrophs to form energy units. There is a requirement of electrons in the formation of energy units.

For the following questions, choose one to discuss: chloroplast/photosynthesis State at the outset which one you will discuss. A) What role do proton gradients play in the process of photosynthesis proton gradients allow B) Where are proton gradients formed? Within what structures are they seen in chloroplasts How do the structures help them to maintain a gradient? C) Explain where and how the chloroplast or mitochondria uses passive transport and active transport to complete photosynthesis or cellular respiration.

why would photorespiration persist in the face of what must be strong evolutionary pressure to reduce or eliminate the unwanted reaction with oxygen?

In 2010, a bew form of chlorophyll (chlorophyll f) was discovered in cyanobacteria assemblages of stromatolites growing in Shark Bay, Australia. Chlorophyll f has been isolated. and scientists are investigating the structure and function of this pigment. Based on your understanding of photosynthesis, how would you determine the wavelengths of light the pigment absorbs? How would you determine if this pigment plays a role in photosynthesis? (Hint: Think about the overall equation for photosynthesis.)
