SCIENTIFIC THINKING Hypothesis: Photophosphorylation is coupled to electron transport by a proton gradient. Prediction: If a proton gradient can be formed artificially, then isolated chloroplasts will phosphorylate ADP in the dark.

Spinach leaf Dark conditions Add pH 4.0pH 8.0 Assay for radioactive P i radioactive ATP ADP + SCIENTIFIC THINKING Hypothesis: Photophosphorylation is coupled to electron transport by a proton gradient. Prediction: If a proton gradient can be formed artificially, then isolated chloroplasts will phosphorylate ADP in the dark. Test: Isolated chloroplasts are incubated in acid medium, then transferred in the dark to a basic medium to create an artificial proton gradient. P i ATP P i Isolated chloroplasts

Test: Isolated chloroplasts are incubated in acid medium, then transferred in the dark to a basic medium to create an artificial proton gradient. Result: Isolated chloroplasts can phosphorylate ADP in the dark as assayed by the incorporation of radioactive PO 4 into ATP. P i ATP P i Isolated chloroplasts
