Answer:

When sunlight is absorbed by one of many pigments present in photosystem II the light energy is distributed from pigment to pigment until it reaches the reaction center. The electrons present in the reaction center jumps to higher energy state on receiving light energy. Each high energy electron is passed to an acceptor molecule (plastoquinone) and replaced with an electron produced by splitting of water. The splitting of water produces oxygen and electrons. The high energy electrons are transferred to electron transport chain. The energy present in these electrons is used to create a gradient in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplast. The gradient facilitates the flow of H⁺ ions across thylakoid membrane and which lead to the production of ATP by enzyme ATP synthase.

Answer: Option A) Yes, the 5th amino acid in the sequence has changed.

Explanation:

Absolutely, the change of CCG to CAG does cause the amino acid Proline to be substituted by Glutamine.

Thus, the single base change of cytosine to adenine in CCG and CAG resulted in a different protein.

Explanation:

Stomata are tiny openings or pores in plant tissue that allow for gas exchange. Stomata are typically found in plant leaves but can also be found in some stems. Specialized cells known as guard cells surround stomata and function to open and close stomatal pores. Stomata allow a plant to take in carbon dioxide, which is needed for photosynthesis. They also help to reduce water loss by closing when conditions are hot or dry. Stomata look like tiny mouths which open and close as they assist in transpiration.
