1) Water donates the initial electron in photosynthesis. The process of photolysis splits the water into H+ and O2 (oxygen, a byproduct of photosynthesis), and releases electrons which are taken up by photosystem II.
2) The electron transport chain is in the last step of cellular respiration, oxidative phosphorylation. NADH donates the electrons, which are used to pump H+ against the gradient into the intermembrane space of the mitrochondria. These H+ flow back across the membrane through ATP synthase to generate ATP.
It causes eutrophication which means that the algae have too much nutrients and take over the pond, use the oxygen so there is not enough left for marine life, which die as a result.
Vitamins are organic compounds that are essential in very small .or shortage of a vitamin may result in a vitamin-deficiency disease. Free radicals are formed not only through metabolic reactions .
