    Short-answer Questions:
    Question 1

    a) Write a balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis.


    Answer: 6H2O + 6CO2 C6H12O6 + 6O2

    b) From what type of cell would the researchers have obtained the thylakoid membranes used
    in their research?
    Answer:
    - Chloroplasts
    c) Name the stage of photosynthesis that is likely to remain unchanged in both the natural and
    artificial chloroplasts and explain why.
    Answer:
    - Light independent stage of photosynthesis.
    -
    d) What are the outputs of the stage of photosynthesis identified in Question 3C?
    Answer:
    - 12 ATP, 12 NADPH and 6 O2
    e) When comparing the efficiency of artificial ‘chloroplasts’ to naturally occurring chloroplasts,
    what steps would the researchers need to take to run a controlled experiment?
    Answer:
    - There needs to be a controlled group, i.e a group that is exposed to the oil and has
    artificial chloroplasts whereas another group which has natural chloroplasts.
    - Both the groups with the artificial chloroplasts and natural chloroplasts need to have the
    same duration of time in which the growth of the plant is measured.
    - Different sample sizes of natural chloroplasts and artificial chloroplasts can be used.
    -
    f) Assuming the experiment was correctly controlled, why might the artificial chloroplast
    photosynthesis at a far faster rate than the natural one?
    Answer:
    -
    g) Suggest a reason why the components of the artificial chloroplast were added to a drop of
    oil.
    Answer:
    -
    h) What is the original source of energy which drives the reactions occurring within the artificial
    chloroplast?
    Answer:
    - Sunlight

    Question 3 (8 marks)

    The lac operon codes for enzymes that are responsible for the breakdown of lactose within
    bacterial cells. However, these enzymes are not produced constantly, instead they are only
    created when lactose is present in the environment.

    a) What is meant by the term ‘operon’?


    Answer:
    - Operon is a set of genes that are transcribed under a regulator gene.
    b) What does the letter ‘P’ in Figure 6 represent?
    Answer:
    - The letter ‘P’ in Figure 6 represents RNA polymerase.
    c) What is the function of the regulator gene in relation to the lac operon?
    Answer:
    - The regulator gene controls the activity of the promoter, which is responsible for
    the expression of the lac operon.
    d) Explain the events that occur when lactose is present that results in the production of
    the enzymes responsible for lactose breakdown.
    Answer:
    - When lactose is converted, some of the lactose is converted into the allolactose. The
    allolactose then binds to and changes the shape of repressor protein, causing the
    repressor protein to detach from the DNA strand.
    - This means that RNA polymerase can ‘zoom’ along the DNA strand and transcribe for
    the structure genes lacZ, lacY and lacA. This results in structural proteins breaking
    down lactose into glucose and galactase, in which glucose is later then used up in
    cellular respiration.
    e) Explain the benefit of gene regulation for an organism such as a bacterial cell.
    Answer:
    -
