Answer:

The correct answer would be Light independent reactions require the energy gathered in the thylakoids.

Photosynthesis can divided into two sub-processes or reactions:

Light-dependent reaction: It converts solar energy into chemical energy that is, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH with the help of photolysisis of water. It takes place in thyllakoid membrane of the chloroplast.

Light-independent reaction: It fixes carbon obtained from carbon dioxide into the food or glucose with the help of enzyme RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase).

It takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast and does not require the involvement of light however, it requires the products (ATP and NADPH) of the light reaction.

Fixation of 1 molecule of glucose requires 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 9 molecules of ATP and 6 molecules of NADPH.

So, darkness indirectly affects the light-independent reaction.

One of your skin cells is about to replicate its DNA. What happens first?

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) The helicase enzyme unwind the DNA molecule into two strands.</em>

Explanation:

DNA replication occurs in a semi-conservative manner. This means that each strand of the DNA can give rise to a new strand. For the process of DNA replication to begin, firstly it is necessary that the DNA unwinds. Topoisomerases are enzymes which are known to remove the super-coiling of the DNA. Helicases can be described as the enzymes which separate the two strands of DNA from the region where replication has to begin. Hence, option C is correct.

High-energy bonds between phosphate groups in nucleotide triphosphates (nucleotides in which three phosphate groups are attached

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The DNA is elongated in the 5'-to-3' end direction, meaning that the DNA polymerase adds a new nucleotide to the free 3' end OH- group. The DNA polymerase will catalyze formation of the bond between the 3' OH- group at the end with the 5' phosphate group of the new nucleotide forming the phosphodiester bond.
