Answer:

Necessary for the transport of dietary lipids. (Ans. C)

Explanation:

Lacteals are specialized lymphatic capillaries which helping in to absorb dietary fats that are present in the villi of the small intestine. With the help of bile, triglycerides is emulsified, and with the help of enzyme lipase, triglycerides is hydrolyzed, these (emulsified and hydrolyzed) results in the mixture of di, monoglycerides, and fatty acids.

The villi are finger shaped, and tiny in size which helping in to increase the surface area. Intestinal structure is known as lacteals which helps in the transport of glycerol, and fatty acids aside from the small intestine in the lymph.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

A proton gradient is generated by the transport of protons into the thylakoid lumen.

Protons move from the thylakoid lumen to the stroma through ATP synthase, producing ATP.

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, the environment is made acidic inside the lumen i.e. H⁺ are pumped into thylakoid lumen from stroma as a result of which more H⁺ are present in the thylakoid lumen as compared to stroma. It happens during light dependent reaction of photosynthesis. The concentration of H⁺ is already higher in lumen and transfer of more and more H⁺ from stroma increases the concentration of H⁺ even more leading to generation of a potential gradient. These H⁺ subsequently tend to move freely from lumen to stroma via "reverse pumps known as ATP synthase". The reason why these are known as reverse pumps is because pumps usually move particles from lower to higher concentration which is an active movement i.e. not natural so such movement requires energy. Naturally particles move from higher to lower concentration gradient until the concentration becomes equal on both the sides but pumps act opposite of this natural process and move particles from lower to higher concentration and utilize energy to do it. But here H⁺ are moving from higher to lower concentration which occurs naturally so ATP synthase rather than using energy tend to generate energy and this free energy is used to generate ATP from ADP & Pi (inorganic phosphate).
