why do plant cells occasionally switch from noncyclic electron flow (nef) to cyclic electron flow (cef)?

Biology
1 answer:
Blizzard [7]1 year ago
6 0

Creating a proton gradient across the thylakoid membrane in higher plants uses cyclic electron flow (CEF), which primarily serves two purposes: (1) producing ATP and balancing the ATP/NADPH energy budget; and (2) defending photosystems I and II from photoinhibition.

ATP and NADPH are produced by noncyclic electron transport. The single product of cyclic electron transport was ATP. Both steps are required by a plant to produce the required amount of ATP for the Calvin Cycle. The electrons are released by photosystem I and then brought back into the system during cyclic photophosphorylation. However, in non-cyclic photophosphorylation, the electrons that the photosystems emit do not come back.

Nasim is driving on a snow-covered road, and her car begins to slide. The quick behavioral response and the increased heart rate
Luda [366]

Answer:

1. sympathetic

2. parasympathetic

Explanation:

The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system triggers the release of stress hormones from adrenal medulla under emergency conditions. There is a series of physiological responses such as increased heart and breathing rate, an increased flow of blood to skeletal muscles, dilation of pupils, etc. These events helped Nasim to fight the stress conditions.  

Once she was relieved, the parasympathetic system is activated that shut down the physiological responses generated by sympathetic division. It slows down the breathing and heart rate and triggers the digestion and absorption of nutrients to restore the energy level of cells.

What effect did the capture of Vicksburg have upon the Confederacy?
Nina [5.8K]
The effect that the capture of Vicksburg had upon the confederacy was that the states west of Mississippi became completely isolated. The Mississippi valley states were no longer considered a great threat. This also opened the doors of invasion for the states that lied to the deep south. Vicksburg was an important place to capture in respect to its geographical position.

A particularly long radio wave has a wavelength of 1.5 x 10^9 meters. What is the frequency of this radio wave?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

0.2Hz

Explanation:

The wavelength of a radiowave can be calculated this;

λ = v/f

Where;

λ = Wavelength (m)

v = speed (m/s)

f = frequency (Hz)

Based on the information provided in this question, λ = 1.5 x 10^9 meters, c = 3 × 10^8m/s, f = ?

Hence, using λ = v/f

f = v/λ

f = 3 × 10^8 ÷ 1.5 x 10^9

f = 2 × 10^(8-9)

f = 2 × 10^-1

f = 0.2Hz
