Important Questions on Metabolism, Cell Respiration and Photosynthesis (AHL)

HARD
Explain the development of proton gradient during the process of photophosphorylation by chemiosmotic hypothesis.
EASY
Which of the following combinations is required for chemiosmosis?
MEDIUM

Assertion A: During photophosphorylation protons are transported across the membrane and accumulated inside the lumen.

Reason R: To develop proton gradient, pheophytin transfers electrons to hydrogen carriers instead of electron carrier.

HARD
Which one of the following is not true regarding the release of energy during ATP synthesis through chemiosmosis? It involves:
MEDIUM

Assertion (A): Electrons released from the photosystem are used by the electron transport chain during photophosphorylation.
Reason (R): Movement of electrons from pheophytin to the PS-I reaction centre is an oxidation-reduction reaction.
The correct option among the following is:

MEDIUM
Choose the correct statements.
A) In ATPase enzyme F0 part is embedded in the membrane and forms a transmembrane channel
B) The F1 part of ATPase protrudes on the outer side of the membrane and a proton gradient is formed across the membrane
C) The gradient of the proton provides enough energy to cause a conformational change in F1 particle
D) The change in F1 particle makes the enzyme synthesize ATP
