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.

Describe the similarities and differences between the cytokinesis mechanisms found in animal cells versus those in plant cells.
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Cytokinesis is the process of the cell cycle which divides the cytoplasm of the parent cell into two cells.

The process of cytokinesis involves the membrane of the cell, so the process differs in plant and animals cell as the plant cell exhibits two layers that are the cell wall surrounding the plasma membrane while animal cell lacks the cell wall. the main difference in both the process is:

1. Plant cell division-occurs by cell plate formation while animal cell division- occurs by full cleavage.

2. In-Plant cell- no cytoskeleton is involved while in animal cell- Cytoskeleton components are actively involved

3.  Plant cell division is centripetal while animal cell division is  centrifugal

4. Plant cell-wall formation is present while animal cell-Wall formation is absent

The similarities in both the process are that it generates the genetically identical daughter cells. In both cells, cytokinesis after the karyokinesis and is the last stage of the division.
