Answer:

These are the thylakoids

Explanation:

The thylakoids which contains the chlorophyll is the primary site of photosynthesis. It is covered by layers of cell called the thylakoid membrane.These are the actual site for light dependent reaction.This membrane contains both photosytem I and ii, ATPase enzymes, and Cytochrome b6f complex.While the photosystem i and ii transfer elecrons during photosynthesis, the ATPase enzyme control the catalysis the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP needed for the light independent stage, the Cytochrome proteins acts as the ETC. involved in the transfer of electron during light dependent stage.

When thylakoids are packed together in disc shape they are refer to as Grana,(singular -granum).Each grana are linked together by intergrana.Thus two or more grana are linked by intragrana to form a single photosynthetic functioning unit.The entire structure is bath continuously by the fluid medium-Stroma.

Their stacked and disc shape is to increase the surface area available to accommodate enough ETC, needed to transport electron for chemiosmosis needed for photosynthesis.

belka [17]

Boreal forest  is a large amount of carbon is being taken in by Biome

Answer: C. Boreal forest

Explanation:

BOREAS is the investigation completed in the boreal woodland at Canada that spotlights on improving our comprehension of the radiant energy, heat, water, carbon dioxide and gases between the boreal forest and the environment.

An essential goal of BOREAS was to gather the information expected to improve the models of computer simulation of the significant procedures controlling these exchanges with the goal that researchers can envision the impacts of worldwide change on the biome.

A(n) ______ is a substance that cannot be broken down into other substances.

slava [35]

An element is a substance that cannot be broken into other substances further.An element is composed of one type of atoms all over. Like a molecule can be divided into atoms further. For example, Water is a molecule which is made up of Oxygen (O), Hydrogen (H). Here, Oxygen and Hydrogen are elements and cannot be further broken down into other substances.
