What is the electron transport chain embedded in?
|
In the thylakoid membrane
Where is it formed?
|
The movement of ions through a permeable membrane
What is Chemiosmosis?
|
Adenosine triphosphate
ATP stands for __________.
|
the energy pumps protons
what does the energy from the electrons do?
|
Electrons
The electron transport chain is a series of molecules that accept or donate ______ easily.
|
Calvin cycle
Which cycle produces NADPH?
|
In the chloroplasts
Where does chemiosmosis occur during photosynthesis?
|
adenine, ribose, and phosphate groups
What is ATP composed of?
|
Photosystem 1
Electrons get excited by sunlight in which photosystem?
|
Water and ATP
What are the end products of the electron transport chain?
|
A product of the first level of photosynthesis and helps fuel the reactions that occur in the second stage of photosynthesis
What is the role of NADPH in photosynthesis?
|
38 ATP molecules
How many ATP molecules are made during the process of chemiosmosis?
|
an important enzyme that provides energy for the cell to use through the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate
Define ATP synthase.
|
Photolysis
What is it called when molecules break down through the absorption of light?
|
Electrons
What is passed down in the electron transport chain?
|
NADPH is an energy molecule and NADP+ is an electron acceptor
What is the difference between NADP+ and NADPH?
|
oxidative phosphorylation
The production of ATP using the process of chemiosmosis in mitochondria is called ______.
|
ATP--->ADP +P+ENERGY
Equation for the formation of ATP
|
This is the first stage that allows photosynthesis to take place which is a very important part of our environment since it provides living organisms with oxygen.
Why is this stage so important for our environment? Explain in depth.
|
An electrochemical gradient is formed
What type of gradient does the electron transport chain form?
|
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Hydrogen
What does NADPH stand for?
|
The chemiosmotic hypothesis was proposed by Peter Mitchell. This hypothesis stated that a proton-motive force was responsible for driving the synthesis of ATP.
Who proposed the chemiosmosis theory and what does the theory state?
|
hydrolysis
In order to break the phosphate bonds in ATP and release the energy, what must occur?
|
