Answer:

The carriers that move energy from the light-dependent reactions to the Calvin cycle reactions can be thought of as “full” because they bring energy. After the energy is released, the “empty” energy carriers return to the light-dependent reactions to obtain more energy. You should be familiar with the energy carrier molecules used during cellular respiration: NADH and FADH2. Photosynthesis uses a different energy carrier, NADPH, but it functions in a comparable way. The lower energy form, NADP+, picks up a high energy electron and a proton and is converted to NADPH. When NADPH gives up its electron, it is converted back to NADP+.

NADPH assists in anabolic reactions.
NADP+ is a coenzyme of dehydrogenase so it gives off hydrogen in enzymatic reactions.

NADP+ is an oxidized form of NADPH. The coenzyme NADPH is very important in the Calvin Cycle.

Answer:

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marsescens, Klebsiella pneumoniae or Escherichia coli

Explanation:

Meningitis is the inflamation of the meninges (membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord) due to the infection of the fluid around it. Some of the symptoms are fever, sleepiness, nausea and vomiting, stiff nech and seizures.

Meningitis can be caused by Gram negative bacterie such as H. influenzae., Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Serratia marsescens. From these options only Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia marsescens, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli are rod-shaped gram negatives.

Animals are associated with ___and plants are associated with

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Animals and plants are associated with both divisions and phyla

As kingdom grows the more species are in the classifying group.

And since there are only a number of kingdom and thousand species, it would account that species changes more rapidly and exponentially grows than kingdoms.

What are the body’s three defenses? How do they differ from each other.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

- Physical and chemical barriers

- non-specific innate responses

- specific adaptive responses

The differences are...

The first barrier is the physical and chemical barrier. It is the first line of defense when in contact with outside sources, this can be through the skin, earwax, nose-hair, etc.

The second barrier, the non-specific innate response, is after these outside sources have somehow managed to pass through the first barrier. They come into contact with cells and enzymes that help to defeat them.

The third barrier, the specific adaptive response, is the body's way of dealing with pathogens that the body has encountered before. (B cells activate)

Which scientist proved the existence of a virus as a new type of pathogen?

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Dmitri Ivanovsky

Explanation:

Dmitri Ivanovsky utilized one of these filters in 1892 to demonstrate that despite being filtered, sap from a diseased tobacco plant remained infectious to healthy tobacco plants. The filtered, infectious substance was dubbed a "virus" by Martinus Beijerinck, and this discovery is regarded as the origin of virology.
