A researcher is investigating the of effects a chemical that makes thylakoid membranes permeable to hydrogen ions (H+). Which of the following is most likely direct effectof adding the chemical to plant cells?

Chloroplasts are the membrane-bound organelles, which carry out the process of photosynthesis. The correct answer is:

Option B. The chloroplasts will generate less ATP.

Photosynthesis is the process of preparing the food in presence of sunlight. It occurs in the plant. The chloroplasts are the membrane-bound organelles, which consists of pigments, enzymes, and other molecules. The thylakoid membrane consist of stacked membranes, known as grana. The light-absorbing pigment, chlorophyll is found in grana.

The following points can be used to explain photosynthesis:

Therefore, the permeability of the protons into the granum will yield ATP. The less ATP will be produced without ATPase.

B. The chloroplasts will generate less ATP

Explanation:

Photosynthesis, occurs in the chloroplasts of plants. Solar energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of stable carbohydrates.  

              6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light  →  C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light       Glucose + Oxygen

Chloroplasts, are small membrane-bound organelles of multi-folded membranes containing pigments, enzymes, and other molecules that facilitate the process. The thylakoid contains multiple folded membranes called granum stacked together. They contain light-absorbing pigments like chlorophyll.  

Here, absorbed light is  used in photolysis, to split water produce H+, O2 and high-energy electrons for the high-energy producing electron transport chain.  

Protons are pumped into the stroma within granum, producing ATP.                 ∴ Without ATPase, less ATP is produced.

the answer is tropical areas. the tropical areas obtain more

radiant energy from the sun than they lose to space through terrestrial

radiation, and vice versa for polar areas. earth has an energy remaining in the

tropics and an energy scarcity for the polar areas.
