Biology

KIM [24]2 years ago

“Biomagnification or biological magnification is the process of accumulation of certain chemicals in living organisms to a concentration higher than that occurring in the inorganic, non-living environment.”

Human beings occupies the top place of most trophic level and we know that concentration of harmful chemicals increase as we go above the trophic level. Therefore human beings are most adversely affected by biological magnification.

Humans may also be affected due to the consumption of fish and shellfish.

Drag labels at left into the appropriate targets on the right to complete this concept map about oxidative phosphorylation
almond37 [142]

*The key function of each of the two photosystems is to absorb light and convert the energy of the absorbed light into redox energy, which drives electron transport.

In PS II (the first photosystem in the sequence), P680 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes water), and the PS II primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces the electron transport chain between the photosystems).

In PS I, the PS I primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces other compounds that ultimately reduce NADP+ to NADPH), and P700 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes the electron transport chain between the photosystems).

The accompanying figure best represents what happens at a(n) ____.
Furkat [3]

Answer: Option D: Neuromuscular junction

Explanation:

This is the site of transmission of chemical signal also known as a chemical synapse between a neuron and a muscle fibre. Most of the time the chemical released which is a neurotransmitter is acetylcholine. When released, it stimulates the release of calcuim ions present in the sarcoplasm: an endoplasm like structure in the muscle fiber that contains calcium ions.
