Answer:
When a glucose molecule is assembled during photosynthesis, the process takes up 12 hydrogen ions from the stroma of the chloroplast.
Answer:
The exergonic reaction of hydrolysis of ATP must be coupled to an endergonic reaction to perform work or to power other reactions.
Explanation:
ATP (adenosin triphosphate) is hydrolized to give ADP and releases energy as follows:
ATP + H₂O ⇆ ADP + Pi + energy
The released energy itself is not used to power biochemical reaction. In order to power other reactions, ATP hydrolysis- a energetically favorable reaction- is coupled to another energetically disfavorable reaction. The linking or coupling is performed through a shared intermediate, which is often a phosphorilated molecule. For example, in the formation reaction of sucrose from glucose and fructose, an intermediate is formated by the transfer of a phosphate group (Pi) provided by ATP hydrolysis. Then, the phosphorilated intermediate (glucose-Pi)- wich is unstable- reacts with fructose in a spontaneous reaction to give sucrose.

Answer:
EtBr inserts between the stacked bases in the DNA double helix.
Explanation:
- EtBr is used for visualizing DNA bands as it fluoresces under the UV illumination.
- EtBr is an aromatic compound that is capable of inserting itself between the stacked bases of the DNA double helix.
- The hydrophobic environment around the base pairs where the EtBr intercalates is responsible for the fluorescence. As the EtBr molecule intercalates between these base pairs the cation of EtBr sheds the water molecules associated with it and this causes it to fluoresce under UV light as water is a quencher of fluorescence.
