Explain in your words the light-dependent reaction and the light-independent reaction

Biology
1 answer:
nadya68 [22]1 year ago
6 0

Answer: In the light-dependent reactions, energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll and that energy is converted into stored chemical energy. In light-independent reactions, the chemical energy harvested during the light-dependent reactions drives the assembly of sugar molecules from carbon dioxide.

They are about twice the size of red blood cells and turn into a macrophage when they migrate out of the blood into the tissues.
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

C. Monocytes

Explanation:

Monocytes are 10-24 micrometer in diameter as compared to red blood cells which are only 7-8 micrometer in diameter. Monocytes are one of the agranular leukocytes and transform into macrophages when they migrate from blood to tissues. Their function is to kill the pathogens and cellular debris by the process of phagocytosis.

Why cycus are called conifer? give its 3major characteristics features​
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Cycads /ˈsaɪkædz/ are seed plants that typically have a stout and woody (ligneous) trunk with a crown of large, hard, stiff, evergreen and (usually) pinnate leaves. The species are dioecious, therefore the individual plants of a species are either male or female. Cycads vary in size from having trunks only a few centimeters to several meters tall. They typically grow very slowly[3] and live very long, with some specimens known to be as much as 1,000 years old.[citation needed] Because of their superficial resemblance, they are sometimes mistaken for palms or ferns, but they are not closely related to either group.

Cycads are gymnosperms (naked seeded), meaning their unfertilized seeds are open to the air to be directly fertilized by pollination, as contrasted with angiosperms, which have enclosed seeds with more complex fertilization arrangements. Cycads have very specialized pollinators, usually a specific species of beetle. Both male and female cycads bear cones (strobili), somewhat similar to conifer cones.

Cycads have been reported to fix nitrogen in association with various cyanobacteria living in the roots (the "coralloid" roots).[4] These photosynthetic bacteria produce a neurotoxin called BMAA that is found in the seeds of cycads. This neurotoxin may enter a human food chain as the cycad seeds may be eaten directly as a source of flour by humans or by wild or feral animals such as bats, and humans may eat these animals. It is hypothesized that this is a source of some neurological diseases in humans.[5][6]

Cycads all over the world are in decline, with four species on the brink of extinction and seven species having fewer than 100 plants left in the wild.[7] The plant has a very long fossil history, with evidence that they existed in greater abundance and in greater diversity before the Jurassic and late Triassic mass extinction events.

The presence of calcium in the sarcoplasm is directly responsible for __________. Multiple choice 1 decreasing the length of the
xxMikexx [17]
  • The presence of calcium in the sarcoplasm is directly responsible for exposing the binding sites on actin.
  • Rigor mortis occurs after death because detachment of crossbridges does not occur due to the lack of ATP

<h3>What is Sarcoplasm?</h3>

This is defined as the the cytoplasm of striated muscle cells in living organisms .When calcium is present, the binding sites on actin are exposed.

Rigor mortis occurs after death and involves stiffening of the muscle tissue because  detachment of cross bridges does not occur due to the lack of ATP.

Who first identified nucleic acids, and where were they discovered? Friedrich Meischer discovered nucleic acids in blood cells.
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Friedrich Miescher discovered nucleic acids in blood cells.

Nuclein was discovered by Friedrich Miescher in 1869

Explanation

In the somewhat early 1880s Albert Kossel further purified the substance and discovered its highly acidic properties. Then he later discovered the nucleobases. In 1889 Richard Altman creates the term nucleic acid. Friedrich Miescher was the first scientist to ever isolate nucleic acid.
