The electron transport chain releases energy in order to pump protons (hydrogen ions) from the stroma into the thylakoid compartment, creating a proton gradient within the thylakoid membrane.

Do high temperatures break hydrogen bonds?
They are fused into helium and create energy. But it takes 4 hydrogen atoms to make 1 atom of helium. The Hydrogen is first converted to Deuterium (heavy hydrogen), and the two deuterium atoms fuse to make the Helium atom. This process releases a lot of energy, not the least because of the neutrons released. Lol
The decomposition of 10 g ammonia produces hydrogen and nitrogen gases and releases 6300 cal of energy.How much energy is required to form 10g of ammonia from a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen gases?
6300, lavoisier law
Which protein complex allows hydrogen ions to rush out of the thylacoid providing energy that can be used to make a molecule?
ATP synthase allows H+ ions to pass through the thylakoid membrane.
What are the disadvantages about hydrogen?
Hydrogen is very flammable and can easily explode. Look back the Hindenburg blimp that used hydrogen. Hydrogen burns very cleanly leaving just water vapor of a byproduct. Using Hydrogen as a fuel for cars sounds great except that you need to make it by splitting water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. That uses up as much energy as the burning of Hydrogen releases. In use as a fuel for cars, you can imagine the explosion when a hydrogen tank bursts and ignites.
Process that is the source of the suns energy?
The Sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion where hydrogen is slammed together with so much force that 4 hydrogen atoms will fuse together to form one helium atom. Nuclear fusion releases incredible amounts of heat energy. Other larger stars fuse the heavier elements when they collapse and then explode. This is called a super nova.
The molecule which stores and releases energy for cellular processes is?
Thylakoid.
A high concentration of H in the thylakoid compartment provides energy for what?
A high concentration of H in the thylakoid compartment provides energy for the production of ATP and ATP synthase. ATP is responsible for the transportation of chemical energy within cells, which is necessary for metabolism.
What purpose does Thylakoid serve?
Thylakoid is a membrane-bound compartment inside cells known as chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. Thylakoid serve to facilitate the light-depended reactions of photosynthesis. They convert light and glucose to energy.
Which protein allows hydrogen ions to rush out of the thylakoid providing energy for molecule formation?
The ATP synthase
What uses energy from the high-energy electrons to transport hydrogen across the thylakoid membrane?
Electron transport chain
What is the function of the Thylakoid?
A thylakoid is a membrane compartment that is bound inside the chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. It is the site of the light-dependent reactions for the process of photosynthesis
Were does the energy to move hydrogen ions across the thylakoid membrane come from?
where does the energy used to establish the proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane come from? In other words, from splitting of water. well that's not what he said but there you go.
What is the protein rich soln in the thycloid?
The protein-rich solution in the thylakoid is called the lumen. It is a fluid-filled compartment inside the thylakoid membrane where various proteins involved in photosynthesis are located. These proteins play important roles in capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy.
What part of the chloroplast is split. forming oxygen?
The thylakoid space uses photolysis to break water into hydrogen ions and oxygen.
What is an hydrogen bomb?
A hydrogen bomb is a nuclear weapon that releases atomic energy by union of light(hydrogen) nuclear at high temperatures to form helium.
How do we turn hydrogen into energy we can use?
Hydrogen can be burnt with oxygen and the formation of the chemical bonds between the atoms releases energy as heat. Free hydrogen is normally manufactured by electrolysis from water, and this requires energy to separate the hydrogen-oxygen bonds, and it is this energy that is released when the chemical bonds are re-formed by combustion.
What is the role if ATP synthase in photosynthesis?
The pigment molecules and electron transport chains involved in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis are embedded in the thylakoid membrane. As energy is released from electrons traveling through the chain of acceptors, it is used to pump protons (that is, H+ ions) from the stroma of the chloroplast across the thylakoid membrane and into the center of the thylakoid. Thus, protons accumlate within the thylakoids, lowering the pH of the thylakoid interior and making it more acidic. A proton gradient possesses potential energy that can be used to form ATP.Protons are prevented from diffusing out of the thylakoid because the thylakoid membrane is impermeable to protons except at certain points bridged by an enzyme called ATP synthase. This protein extends across the thylakoid membrane and forms a channel through which protons can leave the thylakoid. As the protons pass through ATP synthetase, energy is released, and this energy is tapped by ATP synthase to form ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. The coupling of ATP synthesis to a protein gradient formed by energy released during electron transport is called chemiosmosis.
