Explain why the suspension of isolated chloroplasts became alkaline when illuminated?

Yes, protons are pumped across the membrane, but flow right back again through the ATP synthase.  More important is that illumination is required for carbon fixation.  As photosynthesis runs, the chloroplasts remove CO2 from the water they are suspended in.  In solution, CO2 forms carbonic acid, so removing CO2 will reduce the level of carbonic acid, raising the pH.

good lesson

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.
