← ScienceWhich mechanism explains increased biofuel production in genetically engineered algae with elevated ATP synthase activity?
A)Enhanced carbon fixation via Calvin cycle✓
B)Direct energy conversion to fatty acids
C)Increased nitrogen assimilation efficiency
D)Reduced photorespiration during photosynthesis
💡 Explanation
When ATP synthase activity increases, enhanced ATP production fuels the Calvin cycle because ATP is required to fix carbon dioxide into sugars, which can then be converted to lipids for biofuels. Therefore enhanced carbon fixation results, rather than direct conversion/other metabolisms, that have other rate limiting steps.
