erik [133]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

When light hits a chlorophyll,it energises an electron

Explanation: light is an important factor in the process of photosynthesis.chlorophyll absorbs sun light ,particularly the blue and red region of the spectrum.

These photons of light hits a chlorophyll molecules and energises an electron.this electron becomes existed and passes from electron carrier to another until it is coupled to form ATP and NADPH in PS II and PS I respectively.

Also when PS II loses it's energised electron,light splits water molecules to yield protons,electrons and oxygen.

What is the role of a lipid molecule, which atoms make up most lipids, how does the lipids structure relate to its function.
Alisiya [41]

Answer and explanation;

-All lipids contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Some of them also contain nitrogen and phosphorus. The four main classes of lipids are fats, waxes, sterols, and phospholipids. Fats are triglycerides.

-The functions of lipids include storing energy, signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes.

-Lipids are water-insoluble (hydrophobic), and this property is put to great use in the organisation of cells and tissues.

For example; phospholipids are a class of lipids that is amphipathic; that is it contains fatty acid tails that are hydrophobic, and a phosphate head that is hydrophilic. This means the phosphate group will orientate itself towards water and away from the rest of the molecule, and also gives rise to the special properties that allow phospholipids to be used to form membranes.

Describe how a eukaryotic cell can be viewed as four interacting systems: the nucleus, cytosol, endomembrane system, and semiaut
mars1129 [50]

Answer and explanation;

Nucleus; houses a cell's DNA and its processes include protein, replication and packaging for cell division. It is also the site for transcription.

Cytosol; coordinates a responsible to the environment, metabolism and motor proteins.

Endomembrane system; includes the nuclear envelope (surrounds nucleus), rough and smooth ER, golgi body, lysosomes?vacuoles, peroxisome and plasma membrane.

Semiautonomous organelles; mitochondria (animals) and chloroplast (plants) which provide energy for the cell.
