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.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The true statement regarding DNA is A) contains deoxyribose sugar. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) consists of two strands of nucleotides joined by hydrogen bonds. Each nucleotide contains nucleobase (adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine), a sugar deoxyribose, and a phosphate group
Answer:
Continental crust is typically 40 km (25 miles) thick, while oceanic crust is much thinner, averaging about 6 km (4 miles) in thickness. The effect of the different densities of lithospheric rock can be seen in the different average elevations of continental and oceanic crust.
