Some photosynthetic bacteria contain the protein bacteriorhodopsin, which absorbs light and pumps protons out of the cell direct

ly. Briefly describe how such a cell could use bacteriorhodopsin and an H+ATPase to make ATP using light.

Answer:

Explanation:

Bacteriorhodopsin is one of the simplest protein from a family of a protein called opsin which is present in photosynthetic bacteria, algae and few fungi.

The bacterio-rhodopsin acts as an active light-gated proton pump which can pump the protons against their concentration gradient and then establishes concentration gradient across the membrane.

When the photosynthetic bacteria gets exposed to the light, bacteriorhodopsin pumps the proton from the cytosolic side to outside. This establishes electric motive force across the membrane which causes disequilibrium of protons.

The protons move back from the outside of the membrane to inside through H+ATPase which help allow the generation of ATP in the cell.

rodikova [14]

Answer:

The correct answer would be

  • Concave lens for nearsightedness
  • Convex lens for farsightedness

Nearsightedness or myopia is a condition in which a person can see the nearby objects clearly but is unable to see the objects present at a farther distance clearly.

It is usually caused due to elongation of the eyeball or when the lens becomes too curved.

It can be corrected by using a concave or diverging lens of appropriate power.

Farsightedness or hyperopia is a condition in which a person can see the distant objects clearly but is unable to see the nearby objects distance clearly.

It is usually caused due to shortening of the eyeball or when the lens loses its curvature.

It can be corrected by using a convex or converging lens of appropriate power.

Which of these definitions have been paired with the correct type of cell?
patriot [66]

Answer:

B. Neurons are cells that conduct electrical impulses.

Explanation:

Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body. White blood cells protect against pathogens and aid in blood clotting after injury. Blood cells cannot contract.

Neurons generate and conduct electrical impulses. So this one is correct.

Epithelial cells line the cavities and surfaces of blood vessels and organs, protect underlying tissue, regulate the exchange of chemicals, and secrete various substances. They do not react to stimuli, however neurons do.

Smooth muscles helps the skeleton move, smooth muscle is found in blood vessels and some organs, and cardiac muscle helps the heart beat and pump blood. They are however, not components of blood.

Maksim231197 [3]

The hormone to be given is oxytocin. Oxytocin is a hormone produced by the paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus then stored in the posterior pituitary gland (along with antidiuretic hormone or vasopressin) that is responsible mainly for uterine contraction and milk ejection or letdown. Oxytocin induces contraction of the myoepithelial cells in the breast for milk letdown. On the other hand, there is upregulation of oxytocin receptors during parturition which makes the uterus more sensitive to oxytocin. Oxytocin is also known to induce labor and reduce post-partum bleeding.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

Guilt, self disgust, senslessness

Explanation:

Boston is plagued by feelings of guilt and self-disgust after the senseless, cold-blooded murder of Gumboot Dhlamini. He wants to know if Tsotsi shares these feelings. Boston asks Tsotsi many questions and this has a profound effect on Tsotsi, who does not remember much of his past.
