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.

elixir [45]
The purpose of this feedback would be to deliver the baby.

Uterine contraction will cause the release of oxytocin that in turn will increase the uterine contraction too. This mechanism is called positive feedback because the effect will keep increasing as the time pass. This mechanism will be over when the objective is completed, in this case when the baby delivered.

Fill in the blank. An object can be broken up by a planet's gravity once it passes the _______. The Jovian planets are composed
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

1. Roche limit

2. hydrogen

3. atmosphere

4. Mercury

5. Venus

6. When an object passes the Roche limit, the strength of gravity on the object increases. If the density of the planet is higher, then the object can break up farther away from the planet. If the density is lower, then the Roche limit is located closer to the planet.

7. Farther out in the solar system, beyond the frost line, hydrogen was at a low enough temperature that it could condense. This allowed hydrogen to accumulate under gravity, eventually forming the Jovian planets.
