4. In some 4.0 grading system, a student’s grade point average (GPA) is calculated by assigning
letter grades the following numerical values.
A = 4.0 B - = 2.67 D + = 1.33
A - = 3.67 C + = 2.33 D = 1.0
B + = 3.33 C = 2.0 D - = 0.67
B = 3.0 C - = 1.67 F = 0.0

vThe high-energy electron
travels down an electron
transport chain, losing energy as
it goes.
Some of the released energy
+
drives pumping of H ions from
the stroma into the thylakoid,
adding
+
to the proton gradient. As H
ions flow down their gradient
and back into the stroma, they
pass
through ATP synthase,
driving ATP production. ATP
is produced on the stromal
side of the
thylakoid membrane, so it is
released into the stroma.
