Some photosynthetic bacteria contain the protein bacteriorhodopsin, which absorbs light and pumps protons out of the cell direct

ly. Briefly describe how such a cell could use bacteriorhodopsin and an H+ATPase to make ATP using light.

Answer:

Explanation:

Bacteriorhodopsin is one of the simplest protein from a family of a protein called opsin which is present in photosynthetic bacteria, algae and few fungi.

The bacterio-rhodopsin acts as an active light-gated proton pump which can pump the protons against their concentration gradient and then establishes concentration gradient across the membrane.

When the photosynthetic bacteria gets exposed to the light, bacteriorhodopsin pumps the proton from the cytosolic side to outside. This establishes electric motive force across the membrane which causes disequilibrium of protons.

The protons move back from the outside of the membrane to inside through H+ATPase which help allow the generation of ATP in the cell.

What are the general features of organic compounds?
kolezko [41]

The features or characteristics  of organic compounds include:

1. They contain covalent bonds and are mostly non polar in nature

2. Have lower boiling and melting points than inorganic compounds

3. Many organic compounds are thermally unstable, They decompose  into simpler molecules when heated at fairly  high temperatures

4.  Most organic compounds are inflammable and burn exothermically in sufficient air  to yield carbon dioxide, water and heat energy.

5. Most organic compounds being largely non polar are  insoluble in water.

Freshwater is defined as having a low _______ concentration, usually less than 1%.
vampirchik [111]

Answer: salt

Freshwater is defined as having a low salt concentration, usually less than 1%.

Explanation:

Freshwater refers to the bodies of water that contain very low levels of dissolved salts. So, freshwater are unique for their low salt content (about 0.5% of salt) compared to the sea water with high salt content.

Examples of freshwater include rivers and spring
