What role does water play in photosynthesis? Water behaves as a pigment in chloroplasts to absorb light. Water acts as an electr

on acceptor in the formation of glucose. Water reacts with oxygen to convert light energy to chemical energy. Water is a product formed from the reaction of carbon dioxide with glucose. Water provides hydrogen and electrons used in producing glucose.

Answer:

Water provides hydrogen and electrons used in producing glucose.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is process peculiar to green plants and other organisms like algae and some bacteria. Plants synthesize their own food in form of an organic molecule (glucose) by combining carbondioxide (CO2) and H2O in the presence of sunlight. They absorb light energy from the sun to power the first process called LIGHT stage, where NADPH and ATP are produced to be used in the next stage. The electrons used to reduce NADP to NADPH comes from the "PHOTOLYSIS OF WATER"

CO2 is absorbed via the stomata in the leaves of plants. The CO2 is then fixed in the stroma of the CHLOROPLAST when it undergoes series of reactions in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose. However, the glucose molecule (C6H12O6) contains hydrogen which CO2 does not possess, this Hydrogen is provided by water during the light stage where it donated it to NADP+

A disorder called osteogenesis imperfecta damages the auditory ossicles and results in hearing loss. why
tamaranim1 [39]
One of the components of the auditory system is the malleus incus and stapes that make up the auditory ossicles. Osteogenesis Imperfacta is a genetic disorder that affects the proper formation of connective tissue in the body. 
Bones, on the one hand, are constituted by connective tissue. The disorder will consequently affect the formation and integrity of the auditory ossicles, therefore, leading to hearing loss.

1.what are the characteristics of bacteria
qwelly [4]
#1: Bacteria are like eukaryotic cells in that they have cytoplasm, ribosomes, and a plasma membrane. Features that distinguish a bacterial cell from a eukaryotic cell include the circular DNA of the nucleoid, the lack of membrane-bound organelles, the cell wall of peptidoglycan, and flagella. #2: Archaea have more complex RNA polymerases than Bacteria, similar to Eucarya. Unlike bacteria, archaea cell walls do not contain peptidoglycan. Archaea have different membrane lipid bonding from bacteria and eukarya. There are genetic differences. #10: Bacteria are classified into 5 groups according to their basic shapes: spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrios) or corkscrew (spirochaetes). They can exist as single cells, in pairs, chains or clusters. #12: Bacteria reproduce .In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells. Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two (replicates). Each daughter cell is a clone of the parent cell. #13: Pathogenic bacteria are bacteria that can cause disease. ... One of the bacterial diseases with the highest disease burden is tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which kills about 2 million people a year, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. Infection with a pathogen does not necessarily lead to disease. Infection occurs when viruses, bacteria, or other microbes enter your body and begin to multiply.Pathogenic microbes challenge the immune system in many ways. Viruses make us sick by killing cells or disrupting cell function. #14: Antibiotics work by affecting things that bacterial cells have but human cells don't. For example, human cells do not have cell walls, while many types of bacteria do. The antibiotic penicillin works by keeping a bacterium from building a cell wall. HOPE I HELPED I Don’t NO #11
