Which of the following statements is the most likely explanation for plant withering due to leaky membranes in cold temperatures
podryga [215]

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.

Karolina [17]

Answer:

<h2>Exaptation</h2>

Explanation:

Exaptation is the process by <u><em>which the features acquire those functions for which they were not originally selected</em></u> or adapted. Feather is an example of exaptation, it has appeared in various fossils of the flightless ancestors of modern birds, it later became important for flying, Once they molded for flying it adapted for that function, It is found in both behavior and anatomy.
