Answer:
d. less than 100% of the energy captured from sunlight is transformed into potential energy in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient and then into potential energy in the form of covalent bonds
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is process utilized by plants, several bacteria and protists to convert the light energy to chemical energy. So they utilize the photosynthesis as the powerhouse for the energy production. Heterotrophs like human that cannot synthesize their own food, use this converted form of energy by autotrophs.
During the light reaction of photosynthesis the photons from light are absorbed by photosystem I and II. These photons excites the electrons which flow through the electron transport chain from higher potential to lower potential. These electrons release the energy while moving from higher potential to lower potential which is utilized by H+ pump to pump the H+ to lumen of plastids from stroma and of course not the 100% energy is utilized some of the energy dissipates. . So this process causes the accumulation of high potential H+ ions across the membrane. These H+ ions are utilized for the production of ATP by ATP synthase complex when they flow back to lower potential across the membrane through ATP synthase complex.
The ATP and NADPH produced from light reaction are utilized to combine carbon molecules during dark reaction. The covalent bond is used to combine the carbon molecules and we know that combining carbon molecules stores energy in the form of covalent bond.
Answer:
Answer: The collection of all the genes and the various alternate or allelic forms of those genes within a population is called gene pool.
Answer: D
Explanation: Wind turbines generate energy by moving. (Kinetic energy is movement.) Wind turbines, in more detail, are pushed by the wind which causes a transfer of kinetic energy which is then converted by the turbine into electrical energy.
Answer:
Homeostasis is controlled by the nervous and endocrine system in mammals
Explanation:
Nervous system when you touch a hot pan the nervouse system sends a message to move or feel pain
Endocrine system releases hormones into the bloodstrram that helps our growth and development,helps our organs work metabolism,and reproduction
Hope this helps!
Polysaccharide formation allows organism to store energy efficiently. The storage form of food in animals is glycogen and in plants it is starch. Both glycogen and starch are polysaccharides of glucose. Many glucose units are linked together by condensation reaction to form polysaccharide. Compared to having several molecules of glucose in a bulk it is better to store it in the form of condensed bulk i.e polysaccharide. Thus polysaccharides which are formed by condensation reaction i.e by the loss of water molecules are easy to store.
Polysacchrides are: a) stored in the form of condensed bulk
b) they are chemically non-reactive
c) they are osmolytically inactive
