<span>The correct answer is cGMP.</span> 
 <span>cGMP, during the dark (when there are no stimulations of photoreceptor cells), reaches high intracellular levels. When the light stimulation occurs cGMP levels decrease because it is converted to GMP by phosphodiesterase. Phosphodiesterase is activated by transducin which is activated by excited rhodopsin (contains photopigment).</span>  
<span>
Low levels of cGMP block the cGMP gated ion channels and that prevents the entry of Na and Ca. Because of that membranes becomes more negative, hyperpolarization occurs and this creates a signal for the next cell.</span>

Match the bacterial shape with its description
slega [8]

Answer:(A) a cylindrical shaped bacteria exhibiting a variety of rod shapes.- pleomorphic.

B) A bend, or 'coma shapped' rod - Vibrio.  

C) Long, curved, flexible rod - spirochete.

D) Long, curved rod - Spirillum.

E) A small, cylindrical shaped bacteria with a cocci appearance - coccobacillus.

F) Cylindrical shape - Rods.

G) Round shape - Coccus.

Explanation:

A). A pleomorphic bacteria is the one which is capable of changing it's shape, mode of nutrition and reproduction.

B). Vibrio is the genus of gram-negative bacteria. It posses a curved comma shape. This is responsible for foodborne infections.

C). Spirochete is a helical, rod shaped bacteria. It posses flexible cell wall and a mechanism that helps in motility.

D). Sprillium is a gram-negative bacteria. It has a rigid spiral structure. It has a long curved rod. It is found in the stagnant water and can also be responsible for causing water borne diseases.

E). Coccobacillus is a bacteria which has shape which is in between cocci and rod. These are very short rods which are mistakenly consider as cocci.

F). A bacillus or bacilliform bacteria is a rod shaped bacteria which can be found in different taxonomic groups of bacteria. These have cylindrical shape.

G) A coccus is the shape of the bacteria which can be consider as either spherical, ovoid or round in shape.

Photosynthesis occurs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. How do the locations where photosynthesis occurs differ in prokaryotes
mamaluj [8]

Answer/Explanation:

In eukaryotes, photosynthesis occurs mainly in green plants. These organisms have specialized organelles called chloroplasts that carry out photosynthesis. These contain photoreceptors that absorb photons from the sun through a pigment called chlorophyll, providing the energy to synthesise glucose from carbon dioxide and water.

In contrast, prokaryotes that carry out photosynthesis are able to do so because they have folds in the plasma membrane that permit the attachment of chlorophyll. They do not have specialized membrane-bound organelles like eukaryotes.
