Biology

wolverine [178]3 years ago

First, preexisting rocks must weather/erode, forming the sediment that will eventually form the sedimentary rock. Then, that sediment must settle someplace, and over a long period of time, pressure begins to build. This causes the sediments to become compacted. After a long period of time (and a lot of pressure), the sediments cement together and form a sedimentary rock. In a nutshell, sedimentary rocks form through compaction, cementation, and eventually... lithification.

In photosynthesis, what gives energy to the electron moving through the electron transport chain?
snow_tiger [21]

In photosynthesis of plants, the light gives energy to the electrons moving through the electron transport chain. This Light energy is then converted to chemical energy, which produces ATP; an energy storage molecule and NADPH, a reduced electron carrier. Moreover, <span>light energy is used to pump protons across a membrane to produce a proton-motive force.</span>

How does sucrose move from source to sieve?
dybincka [34]

The sucrose move in source to sieve by active transport.

<h3>What is active transport?</h3>

Active transport is a type of transport in which the cell expends energy to move solutes against their concentration gradients. The sodium-potassium pump is an example of active transport. Active transport differs from passive transport in that the cell does not expend energy.

In this case, the sucrose moves from companion cells into source to sieve elements by active transport. This reduces the water potential of the source to sieve element  by osmosis, which increases the hydrostatic pressure.
