What are the products of linear electron flow during the light reactions of photosynthesis?

Katena32 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

NADPH and ATP

Explanation:

In the clear stage the light that "hits" chlorophyll excites an electron to a higher energy level. In a series of reactions, energy is converted (throughout an electron transport process) into ATP and NADPH. Water breaks down in the process releasing oxygen as a secondary product of the reaction. ATP and NADPH are used to make the C-C bonds in the dark stage.

Photophosphorylation is the process of converting the energy of the electron excited by light into a pyrophosphate bond of an ADP molecule. This occurs when water electrons are excited by light in the presence of P680. The energy transfer is similar to the chemosmotic electron transport that occurs in the mitochondria.

Light energy causes the removal of an electron from a P680 molecule that is part of Photosystem II, the electron is transferred to an acceptor molecule (primary acceptor), and then passes downhill to Photosystem I through a conveyor chain of electrons The P680 requires an electron that is taken from the water by breaking it into H + ions and O-2 ions. These O-2 ions combine to form O2 that is released into the atmosphere.

The light acts on the P700 molecule of Photosystem I, causing an electron to be raised to a higher potential. This electron is accepted by a primary acceptor (different from the one associated with Photosystem II).

The electron goes through a series of redox reactions again, and finally combines with NADP + and H + to form NADPH, a carrier of H needed in the independent phase of light.

Electron of photosystem II replaces the excited electron of the P700 molecule.

There is therefore a continuous flow of electrons (non-cyclic) from water to NADPH, which is used for carbon fixation.

Cyclic electron flow occurs in some eukaryotes and in photosynthetic bacteria. NADPH does not occur, only ATP. This also occurs when the cell requires additional ATP, or when there is no NADP + to reduce it to NADPH.

In Photosystem II, the "pumping" of H ions into the thylakoids (from the stroma of the chloroplast) and the conversion of ADP + P to ATP is motorized by an electron gradient established in the thylakoid membrane.

A 5 kg block is pushed across a table by a horizontal force of 40 N with an acceleration of 5 m/s^2. What is the frictional forc
julsineya [31]

Answer:

15

Explanation:

mass, M = 5Kg

horizontal force, F_h = 40N

acceleration, a =5 m/s^2

frictional force, F_f =?

net force = ma

net force = F_h - F_f = 40N - F_f

40  - F_f = 5 x 5

- F_f = 25 - 40

multiply both side by -1

F_f = 40 - 25 = 15

the frictional force is 15N

xenn [34]

Answer:

The planet Jupiter completes one revolution of the sun in 362710000 seconds. Long time, right?

Explanation:

3.154x10^7=3.154x10000000=31540000

11.5x31540000=362710000
