PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The production of ATP during photosynthesis requires ____
A
energy release when electrons move down their concentration gradient
B
ATP synthase binds H+ ions to ADP
C
Energy from electrons passing through electron transport chains
D
spitting water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrogen ions flow down their electrochemical gradient back into the matrix through ATP synthase channels which capture their energy to convert ADP to ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -ATP synthase uses the protons flowing into the matrix to bind ADP and Pi and release ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -As the ions pass through, ATP synthase rotates. The rotation creates the energy needed to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP. The electrons take on a great deal of energy, which causes them to move to a higher energy level. place in the thylakoid membranes inside of chloroplasts.

Detailed explanation-4: -These protons, or hydrogen ions, flow back across the membrane through ATP synthase. As hydrogen ions pass through the enzyme, they turn a rotary motor that induces a conformational change in ATP synthase, causing it to attach a phosphate to ADP, making ATP.
