When a pigment molecule in a light-harvesting complex absorbs a photon of light, what happens to its excited-state electron?.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]2 years ago
8 0

When a pigment molecule in a light-harvesting complex absorbs a photon of light, While returning to its ground state, the electron transfers some of the energy from its excited state to an electron in a nearby pigment molecule.

  • It takes a photon of light energy some distance before it reaches a pigment molecule like chlorophyll.
  • An electron in the chlorophyll is "activated" by the photon. The energy imparted to the electron then moves from one pigment molecule to another until it reaches the reaction center, a pair of chlorophyll a molecules.
  • An electron in the reaction center is then excited by this energy, causing it to break loose and travel to the primary electron acceptor.
  • Therefore, it is said that the reaction center "donates" one electron to the main electron acceptor.

Why do we group artworks with similar characteristics into periods or styles?
fgiga [73]
We group artworks with similar characteristics into periods or styles because it is easiest to do it that way - this way we can find common characteristics in these literary/artistic eras, and name them. For example, the Renaissance had a distinct style, which differs greatly from that of Romanticism.

Answer:

b. active transport

Explanation:

Active transport -

It is the movement of the molecules across the membrane via a region of lower concentration towards the region of higher concentration , and in some cases , the flow is independent of the concentration .Its is known as active transport .

This process needs some amount of energy in the form of cellular energy .

Hence , the correct term for the given statement is active transport .

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

the concentration of misfolded proteins would be higher than normal.  

Explanation:

Chaperones proteins are required for the correct protein folding of proteins. These proteins were first discovered in bacteria. The level of chaperones is increased under thermic stress conditions, it is for that reason that they are also known as heat shock proteins (Hsp). For example, Hsp70 is a chaperon protein constitutively expressed under stress conditions that is involved in the folding of protein precursors and the refolding of misfolded proteins. In humans, Hsp70 is encoded by the HSPA1A gene, and its increased expression level is related to different health problems including neurodegenerative diseases, cerebral ischemia and epilepsy.

Name the red pigment inside red blood cells that help to carry oxygen.
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Hemoglobin.pulmonary artery.

Explanation:

1. about hemoglobin.Hemoglobin is the protein inside red blood cells. It carries oxygen.

2. about pulmonary artery.The pulmonary artery is a big artery that comes from the heart. It splits into two main branches, and brings blood from the heart to the lungs. At the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen and drops off carbon dioxide. The blood then returns to the heart through the pulmonary veins.

3. There exist a concentration difference of carbon dioxide and oxygen inside the alveoli and capillaries due to which the diffusion of the two gases takes place. The carbon dioxide moves from the blood to the alveoli sac and the oxygen moves from the sacs to the blood.
