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.

Scilla [17]

Answer: option B) Statement is false

Explanation:

Living things are NOT composed only of organic elements. Organic elements refers to compounds of Carbon, whereas living things such as Vertebrates (man, shark, lion etc) possess bones, teeth with INORGANIC components like phosphorus, magnesium, calcium.

Also, nonliving things are NOT made up of only inorganic elements. A good example is the air we breathe, it is non-living, yet contains carbon in the form of Carbiondioxide.

If Avery had observed transformation using only the extracts containing degraded DNA, degraded RNA, and degraded protein, but NO
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Polysaccharides are the genetic material.

Explanation:

Avery did not observe transformation using the extracts containing degraded DNA. On the other hand, extracts with degraded RNA, proteins, and polysaccharides exhibited transformation. Therefore, he concluded that DNA is the genetic material responsible for transformation. If he would have observed the process of transformation using extracts containing degraded DNA but not with degraded polysaccharides, he might have concluded that "polysaccharides were the genetic material responsible for the process of transformation."
