How many glucose molecules are made during one cycle of photosynthesis?

1 answer:

5 0

In the calvin cycle, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) is first and foremost responsible for making glucose. To make one G3P molecule, you need three turns of the calvin cycle. In the GP3 molecule, you hade 3 fixed carbon atoms. So to make a six-carbon glucose molecule, you need two GP3 molecules. Therefore it takes 6 turns of the calvin cycle (photosynthesis) to make a glucose molecule.

beks73 [17]

Answer:

An Olympic sprinter readies for a race. After the sound of the starting gun, he propels himself forward from the starting block and immediately grimaces in pain, grabbing for the back of his thigh. Within 48 hours he begins noticing extensive bruising on the back of his thigh extending into the back of the knee. He now has difficulty rising from a seated position and flexing his knee. Bending at the waist generates more pain. Which muscle is likely injured?

The correct answer is option A - Biceps femoris.

Explanation:

. One of the muscles of the hamstring compartment is the Biceps femoris. It is an essential muscle of the back thigh. Its injury is generally seen in sprinters. Its injury leads to the pain generally extending from the thigh region to the back of the knee and upwards to the fold of the buttocks.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A - Biceps femoris.

Two atoms are isotopes of the same element. Which of the following should be the same for these two atoms? A. The number of mole

brilliants [131]

The answer is option B. The number of protons

If two atoms are isotopes of the same element then the number of protons in those two atoms must be same but the number of neutrons must not be same. If number of neutrons of an atom vary but number of protons in them are same then it simply means that they both are isotopes of a particular element. As we know that every atom has a nucleus which has protons and neutrons and due to these protons and neutrons an atom has weight. Apart from that, an atom has electrons too but they are outside the nucleus. Electrons are extremely light in weight so they do not contribute towards weight but they have a great role in chemical reactions. During chemical reactions, it is electron which directly participates, while proton and neutrons do not take part or move during chemical reactions. Also, in a neutral atom number of protons is equal to number of electrons but when an atom becomes negatively or positively charged, it can gain or loose electrons so electrons have tendency to vary. That is why we cannot consider electrons to be always same for isotopes of an element. It is clear that for an isotope, the number of electrons and neutrons will vary but the number of protons will always be fixed.
