The overall result of the proton-proton chain is that ________

1 answer:

7 0

Basically, the P-P chain turns 4 protons into: 1 neutrino, 1 gamma ray, 1 positron, 1 helium nucleus.
A gamma ray = energy.
The chain converts hydrogen into helium and makes energy.

This is all occurring through fusion reactions where 2 protons basically smash into each other. But, it could also be e.g. a proton smashing with a deuterium nucleus. Or, other nuclei smashing together to make something else.

Hope this helps!

What ultimately happens to the light energy captured during photosynthesis?

Degger [83]

Answer:

The correct answer is- It is used to produce glucose molecule

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in which light energy is captured by chlorophyll which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Oxygen is also produced as a by-product in this process.

The light energy is used to split water into oxygen, hydrogen ions and release electrons from it. The electrons pass through many electron carriers through photosystem II and I and ultimately reduce NADH+ to NADPH which is used in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose.

Therefore glucose is produced by the help of light energy captured during photosynthesis.
