B. Too many H+ ions accumulate inside the thylakoid, so ATP synthase makes too much ATP.
C. H+ ions do not accumulate inside the thylakoid, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.

Answer:

C. H+ ions do not accumulate inside the thylakoid, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.

Explanation:

Plant withering refers to the virtual death of plant cells due to lack of food. During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, ATP needed for the synthesis of sugar (food) is created in the thylakoid membrane of the CHLOROPLAST of plant cells.

In the light-dependent reaction, hydrogen ions (H+) builds up/accumulate in the thylakoid lumen to create an electrochemical or proton gradient i.e. a difference in the concentration of H+ ions across the membrane. The hydrogen ions passes through a protein complex called ATP synthase, which forms ATP from ADP (by adding phosphate group), from the energy generated by the electrochemical gradient formed as a result of hydrogen in (H+) build up.

Hence, a plant that possess leaky membrane due to the cold temperature will likely wither because H+ ions are not able to accumulate inside the thylakoid causing a proton gradient, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.

Coral reefs that are preserved as sedimentary rocks are classified as
sergeinik [125]

The answer is; fossil

Fossil is defined as any dead organism ( or its trace or impression) of a past geological time that is naturally preserved in the earth in geological features such as rocks, bogs, and etcetera. Coral reef is  no exception because it is considered a living organism.  It is composed of colonies of coral polyps and algae that secrete a carbon carbonate skeleton.
