Why does darkness affect the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?

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.

The cornea, a boundary between the air and the aqueous humor, has a 3.0 cm focal length when acting alone
Yuliya22 [10]
If the cornea were to work alone, the image formed would be blurred as the point of image formation would be behind the retina. Therefore, with the help of the lens in the eye, the focal length is reduced to 1.7 cm so that the image forms on the retina.

What is the relationship between experiments and evidence
poizon [28]

Answer:

Experiments provide evidence.

Explanation:

You do experiments to answer a question (ex. can plants survive without water?). You answer your experiment's driving question with evidence (ex. no, plants can't survive without water because the plants in our experiment died without water, while the ones that received water grew).

I hope this helped!

Describe hormonal regulation of water balance by Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH). Your description should include all the necessary a
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Antidiuretic hormone stimulates water reabsorbtion by stimulating insertion of "water channels" or aquaporins into the membranes of kidney tubules. These channels transport solute-free water through tubular cells and back into blood, leading to a decrease in plasma osmolarity and an increase osmolarity of urine.

Explanation:

Give a short overview of the scientific achievments of Halley
svet-max [94.6K]

Halley — the traditional pronunciation of the name usually rhymes with valley — was born Nov. 8, 1656, in Haggerston, Shoreditch, London, England. His father was a prosperous soapmaker and property owner. Halley was tutored privately at home before entering St. Paul's School, where he excelled in mathematics and astronomy.

Halley entered Queen's College, Oxford, in 1673, when he was 17 years old. He brought with him a fine collection of astronomical instruments purchased by his father. While still an undergrad, he became a protégée of John Flamsteed, the Astronomer Royal. Halley made important observations at Oxford, including an occultation of Mars by the moon, and published papers on the solar system and on suns
