In order to understand the driving force of ATP synthase in chloroplasts, researchers broke open chloroplasts, isolated
the thylakoid membrane and measured ATP synthesis under different light conditions. What were the results of this
experiment?
a. ATP production occurred only in light, suggesting that the light is directly responsible for the activation of
ATP synthase.
b. ATP production occurred only in light, suggesting that the light is indirectly responsible for the activation of
ATP synthase.
c. ATP production occurred only in dark, suggesting that the light directly inhibits ATP synthase.
d. ATP production occurred only in dark, suggesting that the photons of light act as allosteric (non-competitive)
inhibitors of ATP synthase.
e. ATP production occurred only in dark, suggesting that the light is indirectly responsible for the activation of ATP synthase.

Why can scratching or chipping the seed coat speed up the germination of hard-coated seeds like alfalfa?
A. The mechanical stress activates hydrolytic enzymes. B. Water and oxygen can enter the seed to reach the embryo more quickly. C. Carbon dioxide can enter the seed and stimulate photosynthesis. D. Bacteria or fungi can enter the seed and release growth factors. E. Damage to the seed coat triggers the aleurone layer to release amylase.
