Answer:

The correct answer is transduction.

Explanation:

Transduction refers to the biological phenomenon in which any external physical stimuli is attained and transmitted from one section of the body to another. At this time, the physical energy, that is, the stimuli get transformed into electrochemical stimuli.

In the nervous system, transduction generally signifies the stimulus-alerting events in which a physical stimulus is transformed into an action potential, which is conducted along the axons towards the CNS for integration. A receptor cell transforms the energy of a stimulus into an electrical signal.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

No, the light-dependent reactions doesn´t depend on the Calvin Cycle

Explanation:

While the Calvin cycle produces ADP and NADP+, both of which are photophosphorylated by the light-dependent reactions, there is another carbon cycle, called PHOTORESPIRATION, in which the enzyme RuBisCO (RuBP oxygenase-carboxylase), OXYGENATES RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate), instead of the CARBOXYLATION OF RuBP (the normal Calvin Cycle), releasing 3CO2 and spending ATP and NADPH (produced by the light-dependent reactions), thus, providing the ADP and NADP+ photophosphorylated by the light-dependent reactions.

PHOTORESPIRATION results in a NET LOSS of fixated carbon, and is activated by certain conditions like HIGH TEMPERATURE and LOWER CO2 AVAILABILITY (due to CLOSED STOMATA as a response to droughts). However, the main functions of this system are not clear. It may be involved in nitrate assimilation, free radicals regulation, plant growth, homeostasis of plant cells, among others.
