Synthesis of ATP

Explanation:

Photosynthesis occurs in two major stages viz: light dependent stage and light-independent stage. The light dependent stage involves reactions triggered by light that leads to the synthesis of ATP and NADPH molecules needed for the next stage. The light reactions occurs in the THYLAKOID MEMBRANE of the CHLOROPLAST.

Ideally, in an intact Chloroplast, energy is released by splitting water molecules, a process called PHOTOLYSIS OF WATER. This energy is then used to pump proton (H+ ions) from the stroma of the chloroplast to the thylakoid lumen, which it (H+) accumulates to form a proton pump. This proton pump is then used with the help of an enzyme called ATP synthase to synthesize ATP molecules in a process called CHEMIOSMOSIS.

However, when the thylakoid is punctured and its lumen (interior) is no longer barricaded from the stroma, the H+ will not be able to build up in the thylakoid as they will tend to freely go from the stroma to the thylakoid. Hence, no proton pump will be formed and subsequently, no ATP will be synthesized.

enzyme active site and substrate specificity

enzymes bind with chemical reactants called substrates. there may be one or more substrates for each type of enzyme, depending on the particular chemical reaction. in some reactions, a single-reactant substrate is broken down into multiple products

Science27 of the most iconic, jaw-dropping photos of the earth and the moon from spacedave mosher oct 1, 2018, 11: 13 am etnasa/flickrapollo 11 astronauts took this photo of earth on july 20, 1969.from the ground, earth looks like a boundless fertile plain that beckons to be explored and exploited.but astronauts would beg - and even plead - to differ."you realize that people often say, 'i hope to go to heaven when i die,'" jim lovell, an astronaut who flew on the apollo 8 and apollo 13 missions to the moon, previously told business insider. "in reality, if you think about it, you go to heaven when you're born."lovell has seen first-hand that we live on a tiny rock hopelessly lost in the void. he's also quick to tell you it's the only one we've got - a fragile spaceship for more than 7 billion people: "you arrive on a planet that has the proper mass, has the gravity to contain water and an atmosphere, which are the very essentials for life. and you arrive on this planet that's orbiting a star just at the right distance - not too far to be too cold, or too close to be too hot - and just at the right distance to absorb that star's energy and then, with that energy, cause life to evolve here in the first place. in reality, you know, god has really given us a stage, just looking at where we were around the moon, a stage on which we perform. and how that play turns out is up to us, i guess."humanity has recorded photos of earth from hundreds, thousands, millions, and even billions of miles away, some of them taken by lovell himself.these images not only scientists study our dynamic world, but also understand how a habitable planet looks from afar, which aids the search for more worlds. most importantly, however, the images underscore our peculiar existence on a mote of cosmic dust.take a moment to ponder 27 of the most arresting images of earth that humankind has ever captured from space.a
