<span>This DNA is tightly packed into structures called chromosomes, which consist of long chains of DNA and associated proteins. In eukaryotes, DNA molecules are tightly wound around proteins - called histone proteins - which provide structural support and play a role in controlling the activities of the genes.</span>

The proteins are called Histone proteins. Chromosomal DNA is packaged such that the strands of DNA are wound around histone proteins and fold into complex ways to form chromosomes. The histone proteins are positively charged proteins that strongly adhere to negatively charged DNA and form complexes called nucleosomes. Each nucleosome is composed of double-helical DNA wrapped.

What are the 3 stages of photosynthesis?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
STEP ONE: Harvesting Radiant Energy
The first step of photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Light photons are absorbed by a pigment called chlorophyll, which is abundant in the thylakoid membrane of each chloroplast. Chlorophyll appears green to the eye because it does not absorb green waves on the light spectrum. It reflects them instead, so that’s the color you see.
STAGE 2: Converting Radiant Energy
After radiant energy from sunlight is absorbed, the plant converts light energy into a usable form of chemical energy to fuel the plant’s cells
STAGE 3: Storing Radiant Energy
The last stage of the photosynthesis process is known as the Calvin-Benson cycle, in which the plant uses atmospheric carbon dioxide and water from soil to convert ATP and NADPH. The chemical reactions that make up the Calvin-Benson cycle occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.

In the ionic compound KF, what is the charge on K?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Charge on K is +1.
