How many different ways are ATP made in bacteria?
2 ways; substrate level phosphorylation of ADP and chemiosmotic ATP production
How does substrate level phosphorylation occur?
It is the direct transfer of a high energy phosphate from some compound to ADP
How does a cell obtain the majority of its required ATP?
Chemiosmotic ATP production, that occurs during both respiration and photosynthesis
How does Chemiosmotic ATP production occur?
1.Energy is stored in a Electrochemical Gradient 2.the stored energy is used to drive phosphorylation of ADP
How do chemotrophs create an H+ gradient?
Energy from a high energy electrons produced by oxidation of chemical compounds
How do phototrophs create an H+ gradient?
Photosynthetic energy captured from the light reactions of photosynthesis
How is the proton gradient produced in mitochondria?
H+ are pumped across the inner membrane into the intermembrane space. They diffuse through outer mem.(porins)
How is the proton gradient produced in chloroplasts?
Chloroplasts have internal thylakoids. Protons are pumped across the thylakoid membranes into the thylakoid space
Graphically show how Chemiosmotic generation of ATP works in mitochondria and chloroplasts?
Mitochondria send H+ to outside while chloroplasts send to inside vescicles.VIEW IMAGE(WITH PH)
Where are the ATP Synthase units located in the mitochondria?
The Inner Membrane(cristae)
Where are the ATP Synthase units located in the chloroplast?
The thylakoid membrane
In what ways are the ATP synthase units reversible?
Answer 12
If proton gradient exists then ADP will be phosphorlated. If not ATP will be hydrolyzed to pump H+ in intermem. space
Where does the E to transport H+ across inner membrane come from?
Oxidation of carbon compounds. Carbon compounds are the electron donor, and oxygen is the terminal electron acceptor
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts and the light energy captured helps with what two things?
Production of Proton gradient and produce NADPH, the reducing agent used in the reduction of carbon
What is the purpose of the ETC in Chemiosmotic ATP production?
The Electron Transport chain produces the initial proton gradient
