The most likely function, because of a high numb. of chloroplasts is that the plant is converting sun, h20, into it's own digest able food source...
Answer:
-molecules brought in and used in three turns of the Calvin cycle: Carbon dioxide (CO2)
-molecules produced during three turns of the Calvin cycle that leave the cycle: Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P)
-molecules used and regenerated within the Calvin cycle during three turns: Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RUBP)
Explanation:
Calvin cycle is the second phase of photosynthesis, also called the light independent phase. This phase occurs in there major stages namely:
1). Carbon fixation: A molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2), which enters through the stomata of the leaves, is fixed in THREE TURNS i.e. 3CO2 by reacting with a CO2 acceptor called ribulosebiphosphate (RUBP) as catalyzed by RUBISCO. This reaction forms an unstable 6-carbon compound that breaks into 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA).
2) Reduction: In this stage, the PGA is reduced and phosphorylated by NADPH and ATP respectively to form 6 Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) molecules. One of these G3P molecules leaves the cycle during its THREE TURNS to be used to produce a molecule of glucose. The remaining 5 G3P molecules is used for the third stage.
3). Regeneration: In this stage, the RUBP (CO2 acceptor) is regenerated in THREE TURNS by rearranging the 5 G3P molecules to form 3 RUBP molecules. That is, 3 RUBP to accept 3CO2.
Note: The emphasized THREE TURNS is what must occur in order for one G3P to leave the cycle.
Answer:The summer solstice occurs at the moment the earth's tilt toward from the sun is at a maximum. Therefore, on the day of the summer solstice, the sun appears at its highest elevation with a noontime position that changes very little for several days before and after the summer solstice. The summer solstice occurs when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, which is located at 23.5° latitude North, and runs through Mexico, the Bahamas, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India, and southern China. For every place north of the Tropic of Cancer, the sun is at its highest point in the sky and this is the longest day of the year.
The winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, it occurs when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, which is located at 23.5° south of the equator and runs through Australia, Chile, southern Brazil, and northern South Africa.
