Question
Chapter 19, Problem 15P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The chlorophyll is a hydrophobic molecule which is crucial for the functioning of chlorophyll.
Concept introduction:
The light energy from the sun is trapped by the chlorophyll which is used to produce sugars with the help of water and carbon dioxide via the photosynthesis process. The chlorophyll molecules are arranged in and around the photosystems, which are pigment protein complexes. The photosystems are embedded in thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.

Life requires energy. In a short essay (100–150 words), describe the basic principles of bioenergetics in an animal cell. How is the flow and transformation of energy different in a photosynthesizing cell? Include the role of ATP and enzymes in your discussion.
Chemiosmosis. ATP synthesis in chloroplasts is usually light dependent; it does not happen in the dark.
When researchers shifted isolated chloroplasts from a low pH solution to a more alkaline (higher pH) solution, ATP synthesis occurred even in the absence of light! This was an experiment used to support the chemiosmosis mechanism of ATP formation in chloroplasts. Why?
What would happen if the isolated chloroplasts were shifted to a lower pH solution?
What would be the results if the above experiments were performed in the presence of light?
If these experiments were performed in mitochondria instead of chloroplasts, what results would we expect?
Help please. This question is specifically asking for the identification of the biomolecules that are attached to the sphingosine core, then we need to answer what bond causes those biomolecules to be connected to the sphingosine, what reaction created that bond (maybe addition or oxidation etc.), what were the starting materials and lastly what reagents or conditions are needed for the reaction to occur. Thank you!
