These four Photosystem II, Cytochrome b6 f, Photosystem I and ATP synthase integral membrane complexes are vectorially oriented in the thylakoid membrane to function as follows, find out the incorrect statements;

#Section 2: General Biology
  1. Photosystem II oxidizes water to O2 in the thylakoid lumen and in the process releases protons into the lumen
  2. Cytochrome b6 f receives electrons from PSI and delivers them to PSII It also transports additional protons into the lumen from the stroma
  3. Photosystem I reduces NADP+ to NADPH in the stroma by the action of ferredoxin (Fd) and the flavoprotein ferredoxin–NADP reductase (FNR)
  4. ATP synthase produces ATP as protons diffuse back through it from the lumen into the stromaprotein ferredoxin–NADP reductase

An industrial waste-water stream is fed to a stirred-tank reactor continuously and the cells are recycled back to the reactor from the bottom of the sedimentation tank placed after the reactor. The following are given for the system: F = 100 l/h; S0 = 5000 mg/l; mm = 0.25 h^-1 ; Ks = 200 mg/l; α (recycle ratio) = 0.6; C (cell concentration factor) = 2; Y M X/S = 0.4. The effluent concentration is desired to be 100 mg/l.  The effluent concentration is desired to be 100 mg/l. If the residence time is 2 h in the sedimentation tank, determine the volume of the sedimentation tank and cell concentration in the effluent of the sedimentation tank.

Anaerobic digestion of volatile acids by methane bacteria is represented by the equation:

                                   

The composition of methane bacteria is approximated by the empirical formula CH1.4Oo.40N0.20. For each kg acetic acid consumed, 0.67 kg CO 2 is evolved. How does the yield of methane under these conditions compare with the maximum possible yield?

Cellulomonas bacteria used as single-cell protein for human or animal food are produced from glucose under anaerobic conditions. All carbon in the substrate is converted into biomass; ammonia is used as nitrogen source. The molecular formula for the biomass is CHI.5600.54N0.16; the cells also contain 5% ash. How does the yield of biomass from substrate in mass and molar terms compare with the maximum possible biomass yield?

#Section 5: Bioprocess Engineering and Process Biotechnology

Both Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast and Zymomonas mobilis bacteria produce ethanol from glucose under anaerobic conditions without external electron acceptors. The biomass yield from glucose is 0.11 g g-1 for yeast and 0.05 g g-I for Z. mobilis. In both cases the nitrogen source is NH3. Both cell compositions are represented by the formula CH1.800.5N0.2. What is the yield of ethanol from glucose by Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast?
