Which chemicals are not secreted by the platelet granules?

<span>Although anucleated, blood platelets are highly organized cells rich in different types of organelles. Three specific granule populations store different types of constituents, some of which are at high concentrations. Platelets thus transport some specific compounds through the whole body. During circulation, platelets are reactive to various stimuli and release the materials stored in the specific granules. This 'release reaction' is an important step of primary haemostasis. Energy and messengers required for platelet reactivity are provided by mitochondria and the dense tubular system. Each granule population has specific properties concerning both the structure and the role played by the released constituents. Dense granules contain small non-protein molecules that are secreted to recruit other platelets. alpha-Granules contain large adhesive and healing proteins. Lysosomes contain hydrolases able to eliminate the circulating platelet aggregate. The extrusion of storage granules' content to the platelet's environment occurs according to regulated secretion events: movements of granules, apposition and fusion of granule and plasma membranes. Typical platelet disorders resulting from a storage granule abnormality are referred to as a storage pool defect and are characterized by a prolonged bleeding time.</span>

Answer:

D       Flow of protons across an electrochemical gradient

Explanation:

The chloroplast adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase uses the electrochemical proton gradient generated by photosynthesis to produce ATP, the energy currency of all cells. Protons conducted through the membrane-embedded Fo motor drive ATP synthesis in the F1 head by rotary catalysis.

In chloroplasts, photosynthetic electron transport generates a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane which then drives ATP synthesis via ATP synthase.

The light-induced electron transfer in photosynthesis drives protons into the thylakoid lumen. The excess protons flow out of the lumen through ATP synthase to generate ATP in the stroma.

Majority of ATP is produced by OXIDATION PHOSPHORYLATION. The generation of ATP by oxidation phosphorylation differs from the way ATP is produced during glycolysis.

Electrons are passed from one member of the transport chain to another in a series of redox reactions. Energy released in these reactions is captured as a proton gradient, which is then used to make ATP in a process called chemiosmosis.

What are two ways that Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cells are different?
Crank
1. Eukrayotes cells contain membrane-bound organelles, such as the nucleus, while prokaryotes cells do not. 

2. Eukaryotes are often multicellular whilst prokaryotes are unicellular. Although there are some exceptions –unicellular eukaryotes include amoebas, paramecium, yeast.
