It is now thought that the atmosphere of the primitive Earth was composed largely of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor. The composition of certain iron-containing minerals suggests that the carbon dioxide began to be replaced by oxygen about 2 billion years ago.   Which of the following is the best explanation for the change in atmospheric composition?

#Unit 10. Ecological Principles
  1. Ozone produced in the upper atmosphere by ultraviolet light broke down to oxygen. 
  2. Minerals such as iron oxide released oxygen into the atmosphere.
  3. Oxygen was present in volcanic gases and slowly accumulated with time. 
  4. Photosynthesis was established in primitive bacteria.

Which of the following option is correct regarding the ATP Synthase
1. ATP Synthase Has Two Functional Domains, Fo and F1
2. It Catalyzes the formation of ATP from ADP and Pi, driven by the flow of protons from the P to the N side of the membrane.
3. ATP synthase produces ATP as protons diffuse back through it from the lumen into the stroma.
4. The molecular structure of the mitochondrial ATP synthase has been determined by X-ray crystallography.
