Light-dependent reactions involve a series of events that involve electrons moving along the transporter chain. Water provides the electrons, releasing oxygen and hydrogen ions. C) The splitting of water

<h3>What are the light-dependent reactions?</h3>

Photosynthesis involves two stages: light-dependent and light-independent reactions.

Light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoids of chloroplasts. They Involve the noncyclic pathway which is a flow of electrons along a chain located in the thylakoid membrane.

Photosynthetic pigments are in charge of light absorption. When sunlight reaches the pigments, electrons provided by water get excited and move along the electron transport chain.

During these reactions, oxygen is released, while ATP and NADPH are produced. Both of them are used during light-independent reactions.

The steps of light-dependent reactions are the followings,

1) Luminous energy is trapped by chlorophyll in Photosystem II.

2) When the pigment molecules absorb light, electrons provided by water molecules get to a higher energy level.

3) The excited electrons go through the electron transport chain from Photosystem II to a less energetic level in photosystem I.

4) When the excited electrons leave photosystem II, they are replaced by new electrons extracted from the water molecules.

5) The absorbed luminous energy moves the electrons from the photosystem I to another electron acceptor, from where they get transported again and used to produce NADPH molecules.

6) When electrons leave Photosystem I, they are replaced by new electrons coming from photosystem II.

7) When the water molecule breaks down, it releases oxygen and  hydrogen ions, which remain in the thylakoid lumen. From there hydrogen ions are pumped to the stroma by the ATP synthase.

8) The released energy is used to produce ATP molecules.

9) Hydrogen ions go back from the stroma to the thylakoid compartment.

According to this information, the correct option is C- The splitting of water.  

Water breaks down and releases oxygen, hydrogen ions, and provide electrons to the chain.

What was the ecosystems carrying capacity for Buffalo based on the graph once rinderpest was eliminated
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

60,000 buffalo

Explanation:

This question is incomplete, I attached the options.

35,000

55,000

60,000

65,000

Buffalo numbers in the study area were estimated using total aerial photographic counts, the estimation was made it in Mara Serengeti ecosystem (25 000 km2), buffalos have other problems apart of bubonic plague, like climate change, competition, disease, food limitation, land-use change, predation.

Assume the population growth of Serengeti buffalo graph, before the rinderpest there was a capacity of 50,000 buffalos, but there was a bubonic plague epidemic, then two years and half, only there were a capacity less than 30,000.

After the virus was eliminated the graph show growth, in 6 years there were more than 60,000 buffalos, in more eleven-year, there were exactly 60,000 buffalos.

How does a marshmallow contain carbon?​
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The sugar molecules in the marshmallow are being changed into carbon. Sugar can be changed into water molecules. When you toast marshmallows, the heat causes a chemical reaction producing water molecules which then evaporate, leaving the carbon behind.

A mass composed of fibrin and platelets that collect on valve leaflets or their cords is called a(n)
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

VEGETATION

Explanation:

It is referred to as an infected mass due to the production of bacteria in one heart valves. This infected mass can be due to bacteria in the bloodstream during any dental work, or any similar process related to bloodstream. This infected mass is called VEGETATION and related to endocarditis which is composed of fibrin and platelets.
