Light reaction occurs in presence of light while in dark reaction light is not needed
Nadusha1986 [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Light and dark reaction are the two different phases of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is a process of formation of food in green plants and algae using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

Light reaction ( light dependent phase) occurs in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplast and is the first phase of photosynthesis.

During this phase,  chlorophyll ( a green pigment in the chloroplast) absorbs energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. Photolysis of water takes place in this reaction that produces oxygen as a waste product in the surrounding.

Dark reaction occurs in the stroma. During the dark reaction ( light independent phase) , this chemical energy is used in the formation of carbohydrates ( glucose) as ATP provides energy for this process wheres NADPH is a reducing agent, which gives electrons that are need for CO2 fixation so as to form glucose molecule.

How remote sensing works and why it is important in cartography
AleksandrR [38]

Advanced technologies like remote sensing have modified the way by which maps are constructed. Remote sensing is the procedure of collecting information about Earth with the help of instruments mounted on airplanes, satellites, or ships.  

Remote sensing helps in monitoring and detecting the physical features of a region by determining its emitted and reflected radiation at a distance from the targeted region. Unique or specialized camera gather remotely sensed pictures of the Earth that assists the researchers in sensing the things about the Earth.

Why is the ability of the cell membrane to be "picky" important?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is:

It is very important for the cell membrane to be <em>semi-permeable</em> because the ability to pick and choose what comes in and out of the cell keeps the cell safe! The membrane can choose to block out nasty germs and can also choose to get rid of internal waste.

An example of when this is important is in this scenario:

Let's say the cells are in a really salty solution. Naturally, salt will want to pull the water out of the cell. If the membrane <u>wasn't</u><u> </u> semi permeable, the water would listen to the salt and leave the cell. This would cause cell death. <u>BECAU</u><u>SE</u> the membrane is semi permeable, they can choose <em>not</em> to give the salt any water, keeping them alive

Hope this helps

Is it possible to have a knockout mutant plant that shows no visible phenotype that is different from the wild-type plant?
joja [24]

Answer:

Molecular genetic approaches to the study of plant metabolism can be traced back to the isolation of the first cDNA encoding a plant enzyme (Bedbrook et al., 1980), the use of the Agrobacterium Ti plasmid to introduce foreign DNA into plant cells (Hernalsteens et al., 1980) and the establishment of routine plant transformation systems (Bevan, 1984; Horsch et al., 1985). It became possible to express foreign genes in plants and potentially to overexpress plant genes using cDNAs linked to strong promoters, with the aim of modifying metabolism. However, the discovery of the antisense phenomenon of plant gene silencing (van der Krol et al., 1988; Smith et al., 1988), and subsequently co‐suppression (Napoli et al., 1990; van der Krol et al., 1990), provided the most powerful and widely‐used methods for investigating the roles of specific enzymes in metabolism and plant growth. The antisense or co‐supression of gene expression, collectively known as post‐transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), has been particularly versatile and powerful in studies of plant metabolism. With such molecular tools in place, plant metabolism became accessible to investigation and manipulation through genetic modification and dramatic progress was made in subsequent years (Stitt and Sonnewald, 1995; Herbers and Sonnewald, 1996), particularly in studies of solanaceous species (Frommer and Sonnewald, 1995).
