explain why the suspension of isolated chloroplasts became alkaline when illuminated?
Answer:
Yes, protons are pumped across the membrane, but flow right back again through the ATP synthase. More important is that illumination is required for carbon fixation. As photosynthesis runs, the chloroplasts remove CO2 from the water they are suspended in. In solution, CO2 forms carbonic acid, so removing CO2 will reduce the level of carbonic acid, raising the pH.
Explanation:
Chloroplasts are the primary cell organelles involved in the conversion of light energy into stable chemical energy through photosynthesis. The chloroplasts will become alkaline due to a rise in pH and a reduction in carbon dioxide.
Chloroplast is the green-colored cell organelle, primarily involved in the conversion of light energy into chemical energy.
When the isolated chloroplasts are illuminated, the suspension in which chloroplasts are suspended becomes alkaline. It is assumed that protons are pumped in from the medium to the thylakoids.
As photosynthesis takes place, the chloroplasts remove carbon dioxide from the suspension, which causes an increase in the pH of the suspension.
Therefore, the formation of carbonic acid from the CO2 will raise the pH.

Which of the following phrases describe the function of the digestive system?
l. Smooth, muscular tube connects the mouth to the stomach
ll. Muscular action in the esophagus pushed food to the stomach
lll. Structures called the microvilli to increase the surface area of the intestines
lV. Nutrients are made available to the body's cells
A. l and ll
B. ll and lll
C. ll and lV
D. lll and lV
Answer:
B. ll and lll
Explanation:
The question above is asking for the "function" of the Digestive System. Function refers to how the digestive system actually works.
I is not related to the function of the digestive system. It only describes the "esophagus."
II is called the "Peristalsis." This is one of the functions of the digestive system. This allows the food to move down the GI tract.
III is part of the process called "Segmentation." This is one of the functions of the digestive system. The increase surface area of the microvilli expands 25 times and this allows greater absorption of food.
IV is not related to the function of the digestive system.

Answer:
When a rancher puts cattle in a pasture, what happens to the amount of grass in it? Cows put in a pasture of fresh grass will eat it down too a point it would regrow fast.. Unless the pasture is not large enough for the number of cattle. Then they will eat it into the ground and kill it.

What step of photosynthesis produces the O2?
Answer:
The chloroplast is involved in both stages of photosynthesis. The light reactions take place in the thylakoid. There, water (H2O) is oxidized, and oxygen (O2) is released. The electrons that freed from the water are transferred to ATP and NADPH.

Do you guys know the answer????
Answer:
X=16
Explanation:
We would need to convert the whole number (5) into a fractIon. By doing this, we multiply 5 by 3 to get 15. We also must add in the 1 form the 1/3 in the 5, getting 16 for a total, then Adding 16 to the whole equation would be 16/3 or x=16
What happened when there was not enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to trap the sun's heat about 600 mya?
Answer:
Decreased Temperatures
Explanation:
Because carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere, a lessening of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations would mean that more heat could escape into space. This would result in a net decrease in the Earth's average temperature, assuming other factors remain the same.

A hand sanitizer was advertised to be more effective at killing bacteria than any antibacterial soap. Students were split evenly into 4 groups to test this claim. Groups 1-3 washed their hands using the assigned hand sanitizer or soap (see table) and warm water for two minutes, and then dried their hands with a paper towel. Group 4 rubbed their hands vigorously for 2 minutes in warm water, without any soap or sanitizer, and then dried their hands with a paper towel. After washing, each student’s hands were swabbed and the swab was applied to a culture plate and incubated. Finally, the bacterial cultures were counted. what is the independent variable?
Answer:
Group 4
Explanation:
The control group in this case would be those students in group 4.
The control group during an experiment is a group that does not receive the treatment administered to other groups and as such used as a standard for measuring the effects of the treatment on other groups. Whatever differences that exist between the control group and the various treatment groups is attributed to be as a result of the treatment administered to the groups.
In this case, group 4 only used warm water for washing their hands instead of the hand sanitizer/soap used by the other groups. Whatever differences found out in the bacterial count in their respective culture swabs can be attributed to the effects of the hand sanitizer/soap.
