In the Calvin cycle the conversion of energy poor carbon dioxide into energy rich glucose
rodikova [14]

Answer:

D)NADPH is made

A)ATP is used

Explanation:

Sorry to ask the two questions, I asked why the two options are in the process:Reduction. In the second stage, ATP and NADPH are used to convert the 3-PGA molecules into three-carbon sugar molecules, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate ( G3P ). At this stage, it gets its name because NADPH donates, or reduces , electrons to a three-carbon intermediate to form G3P.[Ocultar detalhes]

The reduction stage of the Calvin cycle, which needs ATP and NADPH, converts 3-PGA (produced in the fixation stage) into a three-carbon sugar. This process takes place in two main stages:

Simplified diagram of the reduction step of the Calvin cycle showing the carbon atoms, but not the complete molecular structures. A 3-PGA molecule first receives a second phosphate group from ATP (generating ADP). Then, the doubly phosphorylated molecule receives electrons from NADPH and is reduced to form glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. This reaction generates NADP + and also releases an inorganic phosphate.

A 3-PGA molecule first receives a second phosphate group from ATP (generating ADP). Then, the doubly phosphorylated molecule receives electrons from NADPH and is reduced to form glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. This reaction generates NADP + and also releases an inorganic phosphate.

First, each 3-PGA molecule receives a phosphate group from ATP, becoming a doubly phosphorylated molecule called 1,3-bisphosphoglyceride (and leaving an ADP as a by-product).

Second, 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate molecules are reduced (gain electrons). Each molecule receives two electrons from NADPH and loses one of its phosphate groups, becoming a three-carbon sugar called glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) . This step produces NADP^+

The ATP and NADPH used in these steps are products of the photo-dependent reactions (first stage of photosynthesis). That is, the chemical energy of ATP and the reducing potential of NADPH, both produced with the use of light energy, keep the Calvin cycle running. Conversely, the Calvin cycle regenerates ADP and NADP^+

+

start superscript, plus, end superscript, providing the necessary substrates for photo-dependent reactions.

The gland located at the top of the kidney is the ________ gland.
Elza [17]

Answer:

adrenal

Explanation:

The adrenal glands are two endocrine glands in the human body. They are located above the kidneys.  Members of the endocrine system, the adrenal glands are very important to the human body because they make hormones essential for their functioning.

These glands are also responsible for the production of hormones that act on the transformation of fat into glucose by the liver. An example of this hormone is glucocorticoid known as cortisol, which also acts on the degradation of triglycerides. These functions are also performed by the region of the adrenal cortex.

The adrenal glands also produce in the adrenal medulla two other important hormones: adrenaline (also known as epinephrine) and norepinephrine (also known as norepinephrine). These two hormones act on psychic and physical reactions generated by strong emotional situations (mainly related to emotional stress).

Which important biochemical process receives a supply of NAD+ ions from the fermentation process during anaerobic respiration?
sammy [17]

Answer:

Glycolysis.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is a universal process that provides energy in the form of ATP molecules. It requires two molecules of NAD+, which are reduced to NADH during glycolysis. Thus, regeneration of NAD+ is necessary as if NAD+ is absent, glycolysis cannot be able to continue.

During anaerobic respiration (respiration in the absence of oxygen), fermentation takes place to regenerate NAD+ used in the process of glycolysis.

The paragraph describes mitochondria and chloroplasts. WHICH sentence in the paragraph provides the strongest evidence for the e
gregori [183]

The answer is; E

This shows that these organelles were once free-living organisms  with their own mechanisms for reproduction which they have retained even after years of symbiotic relationship with the higher organisms. During their duplication, they also replicate their own DNA. Their DNA does not have histones (as opposed to the DNA in the nucleus of their host eukaryotic cell) similar to that of simple organisms such as bacteria.
