2
Q
What adds to the proton gradient in non cyclic phosphorylation?

Photolysis, the proton pump, NADP joining with H
3
Q
Where does the calvin cycle take place?
A
The stroma
4
Q
Describe Calvin’s Lollipop experiment?
A
Algae radioactive carbon, sample dropped in boiling alcohol to denature enzymes every 5s, sample 2D chromatography, radioactive spots identified
5
Q
Describe engelmanns experiment?
A

6
Q
Why should you boil your sample?
A
To denature enzymes
7
