The outcome of this error would be that the gradient of the proton in the thykaloid space would not be able to be used to produce ATP. This is because the ATP synthase was inserted in a backward position to the membrane which would cause for protons to the build up in the thykaloid space.

Answer:

ATP production will  stop

Explanation:

It is the protein gradient in the thylakoid space that causes the production/generation of ATP molecules. During the process of electron transport, H+ ions are pumped across the thylakoid membrane and a electrochemical proton gradient is attained that drives the synthesis of ATP in the stroma.

Now when atp synthase complexes are reversed, H+ ions are not pumped across the thylakoid membrane which destabilizes the  electrochemical proton gradient and lead to halt of production of ATP

B. Has no scales on its skin ... 3

2.
A. Breathes with gills - fish
B. Breathes with lungs - snake

3.

What is the source of the genetic information that determines the traits of a Pacific tree frog?
Tema [17]
The answer to the question above is letter D. <span>Chromosomes found in the cell nucleus.</span>
In the cell nucleus, DNA is tightly packed into the thread-like structure known as chromosomes. Every chromosome is made up of tightly coiled DNA around proteins (histones) that support its structure. Chromosomes are not visible when there is no cell division. It cannot be seen in the cell’s nucleus nor under the finest microscope. They are only visible when the cell is dividing and is apparently visible under a microscope.

plants contain xylem and phloem tissue. what organ system in animals performs a similar function as the xylem and phloem of plan
Basile [38]
In animals, the circulatory system performs a similar function because it transports vital nutrients around the body of the animal, just like how xylem and phloem transport water, minerals, and sugar to different parts of the plant.
