Chapter 19: Q19P (page 662)

Predict the effect of an uncoupler such as dinitrophenol (Fig. 18-29) on the production of ATP in a chloroplast.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The production of chloroplast ATP decreases because of the uncoupler.

Step by step solution

01

Function of 2, 4 DNP in the electron transport

2, 4 dinitrophenol (DNP) as an uncoupler, meaning it disconnects the oxidative phosphorylation from the electron transport by discharging the electrochemical gradient. This gradient is generated by electron transport.

02

Production of ATP synthesis

By offering a pathway other than ATP synthase for proton translocation, an uncoupler reduces the transmembrane proton gradient. As 2,4 dinitrophenol (DNP) disconnects the electron transport, there is will deficiency in the production of ATPproduction.

Hence, ATP synthesis in chloroplasts would be reduced.

Most popular questions from this chapter

How do plants minimize photorespiration?

Calculate the change in free energy for the transit of two electrons from the quinone pool to cytochrome c2 in purple bacterial photosynthetic electron transport. Assume that the reduction potential of cytochromec2is similar to those of other c-type cytochromes.

What is the function of light-harvesting complexes?

Under conditions of very high light intensity, excess absorbed solar energy is dissipated by the action of photoprotective proteins in the thylakoid membrane. Explain why it is advantageous for these proteins to be activated by build up of the proton gradient across the membrane.

Although the net equation for photosynthesis indicates that the process can be measured in terms of either O2produced or CO2 fixed, in practice, these measurements are not necessarily equivalent. Explain.
