Rhodopsins are light-sensitive molecules composed of a protein (opsin) and retinal (derivative of vitamin a). opsin is a membran

e protein with several alpha-helical segments that loop back and forth through the plasma membrane. there are two classes of rhodopsins. according to oded beje, one class has relatively slow dynamics (a photocycle of approximately 0.5 second) and is well suited for light detection. the second class has faster dynamics (a photocycle of approximately 0.02 seconds) and is well suited for chemiosmosis-pumping of protons or chloride ions across cell membranes. oded beje was the first, in september 2000, to report on a rhodopsin (proteorhodopsin) found in the domain bacteria. [source: o. beje et al., science 289 (2000): 1902.] proteorhodopsin consists of a single polypeptide chain. what is the highest level of structure found in this protein?

The highest level of structure find in this protein is TERTIARY.
There are four different structural levels of protein formation, these are the primary, secondary, tertiary and the Quaternary level.
The tertiary structural level of protein is usually formed by the folding of the secondary structures of the protein. The tertiary structure of a protein determines its functions.

6) What are the components of a nucleic acid?
Setler [38]

Answer:

Nucleic acids contain the same elements as proteins: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen; plus phosphorous (C, H, O, N, and P). Nucleic acids are very large macromolecules composed of repetitive units of the same building blocks, nucleotides, similar to a pearl necklace made of many pearls

Explanation:

-Pheophytin

P680 the primary donor of Photosystem II becomes excited and transfers an electron to pheophytin. Pheophytin is the initial intermediate electron acceptor and carrier in Photosystem II; it is a chlorophyll-like molecule that lacks a central magnesium ion.

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released. This occurs in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.

The chloroplast is a membrane bound organelle found in plants. It contains several invaginations of a plasma membrane called the thylakoid membrane. This contains chlorophyll pigments, in stacks called granum, while the internal spaces of the organelle are called the lumen. Liquid surrounds the granum, forming the stroma.

During the light reaction:

  • Light is absorbed by pigments in phosystem II (PSII). This energy is transferred among pigments til it gets to the reaction center, and is transferred to P680; this promotes an electron to a higher energy level where it then goes to an acceptor molecule, like Pheophytin .
  • Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II. Additionally, water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent.
  • the electron moves down an electron transport chain (to PS I)where it experiences continuous energy loss. This energy fuels the pumping of H+ from the stroma to thykaloid, leading to the formation of a gradient. The H+ move along their gradient and cross through ATP synthase, into the the stroma.
  • ATP synthase converts ADP and Pi to the energy storage molecule ATP.
  • The electron gets to photosystem I where it goes to pigments at P700. It absorbs light energy, the electron is promoted to a higher energy level, and passed to an electron acceptor. This leaves a space for another electron which is then replaced by one from photosystem II.
  • in the ETC, the molecule NADP is reduced to NADPH by providing H+ ions. NADP and NADPH are integral to the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules.

What happens to the bunny population if a friend is never added? What happens when you add a friend
pochemuha

While pet rabbits can survive alone without another bunny living with them, they can get very lonely and sad, as rabbits are naturally herd animals. No matter how much human attention they receive, that does not replace attention from a fellow rabbit friend.

When one rabbit is introduced to another rabbit, they may not always get along. However, they will always be very curious when they first meet, and can become close friends after bonding for a while. Keeping close supervision on bunnies when they first meet, however, is very crucial, as they could get into a fight and hurt each other.
