Answer:

C. +23.1 kJ/mol

Explanation:

the formula to use to calculate the energy requirement in kJ/mol to transport a proton across the mitochondrial inner membrane in plant cells is:

ΔGt = RTIn  \frac{C_{2} }{C_1}   + ZFΔV

let's list the values of the data we are being given in the question to make it easier when solving it.

Z= 1

F= 96500C (faraday's constant)

ΔV= 160mV = 0.160V

R= 8.314( constant)

T= 15ºC ( converting our degree Celsius into kelvin, we will have 273.15k+ 15 = 288.15K)

∴ T= 288.15K

Putting it all together in the formula, we have:

ΔGt = 8.314 × 288.15 × 2.303 log \frac{C_{2} }{C_1}  + 1  × 96500 × 0.160

ΔGt = 5517.25   [ -(log(H^{+}_{out} ) + log(H^{+}_{in} )_{in}  +15440

ΔGt  = 5517.25 (pH_{out} - pH_{in}  +15440

Given that the pH  differential gradient  across the membrane is 1.4pH units. It implies that;

ΔGt  = 5517.25 × 1.4 + 15440

=  7724.15 +15440

= 23164.15 Joules/moles

= +23.1 KJ/mole

Ede4ka [16]
All living organisms are made of only 20 different aminoacids- this is the correct answer! This means that the genetic code only codes for those 20 aminoacids (for example Glutamine and  Lysine). 
The 20 aminoacids that can form proteins are also called Proteinogenic amino acids.
