Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone nicknamed the “stress hormone.” It helps plants cope with drought, cold, and other threats by triggering responses like closing pores to conserve water and promoting seed dormancy. This is an MCQ on Abscisic Acid Structure and Functions. You may also like: $. Plant […]
Plant Hormone MCQ: Plant hormones, also known as phytohormones, are chemical substances that regulate various physiological processes in plants. They include auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, and abscisic acid. These hormones influence growth, development, flowering, fruiting, and responses to environmental stimuli. This is an MCQ on Plant Hormones. You may also […]
A proton gradient is a difference in proton concentration across a membrane, created by the electron transport chain. ATP synthesis occurs when protons flow back across the membrane through ATP synthase, using the energy from this gradient to convert ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP. This article is on Proton […]
Chemiosmotic coupling is the mechanism by which ATP is synthesized in mitochondria and chloroplasts. It involves the movement of protons across a membrane, creating a proton gradient. The energy from this gradient drives ATP synthase to convert ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP. This is an MCQ on Chemiosmotic Coupling […]
The Q cycle is a mechanism in the electron transport chain’s complex III (cytochrome bc1 complex) that transfers electrons from ubiquinol (QH2) to cytochrome c. It involves proton pumping from the mitochondrial matrix to the intermembrane space, contributing to the proton gradient for ATP synthesis. This is an MCQ on […]
