Which statements about the production of ATP ATP in chloroplasts are true? The production of ATP ATP in chloroplasts does not re

semble the production of ATP ATP in mitochondria. 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 ATP synthase, producing ATP ATP . The generation of a proton gradient creates a more acidic environment in the stroma than in the thylakoid lumen.

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).

1. Why does the moon go through Phases?
liq [111]

Explanation:

1.The Moon has phases because it orbits Earth, which causes the portion we see illuminated to change. The Moon takes 27.3 days to orbit Earth, but the lunar phase cycle (from new Moon to new Moon) is 29.5 days. The Moon spends the extra 2.2 days "catching up" because Earth travels about 45 million miles around the Sun during the time the Moon completes one orbit around Earth.

2.

An eclipse is the result of the total or partial masking of a celestial body by another along an observer's line of sight. Solar eclipses result from the Moon blocking the Sun relative to the Earth; thus Earth, Moon and Sun all lie on a line. Lunar eclipses work the same way in a different order: Moon, Earth and Sun all on a line. In this case the Earth's shadow hides the Moon from view.Lunar and solar eclipses occur with about equal frequency. Lunar eclipses are more widely visible because Earth casts a much larger shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse than the Moon casts on Earth during a solar eclipse. As a result, you are more likely to see a lunar eclipse than a solar eclipse.

3.Why Do We have Seasons?

As the earth spins on its axis, producing night and day, it also moves about the sun in an elliptical (elongated circle) orbit that requires about 365 1/4 days to complete. The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons. When the earth's axis points towards the sun, it is summer for that hemisphere. When the earth's axis points away, winter can be expected. Since the tilt of the axis is 23 1/2 degrees, the North Pole never points directly at the Sun, but on the summer solstice it points as close as it can, and on the winter solstice as far as it can.

Why Do the Seasons Change on Earth?

Two things cause the seasons to change. First, the Earth moves around the Sun. Second, the Earth has a tilted axis of rotation.

The Earth spins around an axis. This imaginary line extends from the South Pole to the North Pole. But the Earth’s axis is not vertical. It’s actually tilted at an angle of 23.5°. The planet is always tilted in the same direction as it orbits the Sun.

What is an environmental impact of the use of nuclear fuels?
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Nuclear energy produces radioactive waste

A major environmental concern related to nuclear power is the creation of radioactive wastes such as uranium mill tailings, spent (used) reactor fuel, and other radioactive wastes. These materials can remain radioactive and dangerous to human health for thousands of years
