The role of pigments both in capturing light energy and in converting it to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH.

Chemistry

Answer:

The explanation of the processes in which pigments are involved (capturing light and forming ATP and NADPH) is given in the following paragraphs)

Explanation:

Pigments are molecules with the capacity of absorbing light. Each pigment captures light of a specific wavelength. Plants contain different types of pigments like chlorophylls, xanthophylls, carotenoids, and others.

Chloroplasts (organelles present in cells of plants), contain pigmants that absorb solar radiation, triggering a series of reactions collectively known as photosynthesis. When light incides on a pigment, an electron of this molecules is excitated, goes into another level of energy and starts to pass through a series of carrier molecules to finally to a final aceptor of electrons. During this transport, part of the energy contained in the electron is used to generates a hydrogen gradient that provides energy. As a result of these processes, a molecule that is called  NADP+ accepts two electrons and an hydrogen to form NADPH, while another molecule known as ADP captures  an atom of phosphorous and gives rise to ATP (through the action of a protein called ATP sintase)..

You are running a lemonade stand with your friend. You prepared 10 liters of 0.7 molarity lemonade, but your friend did online r
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

add 7.5L of water

Explanation:

M1×V1=M2×V2

M is molarity, V is volume

0.7 × 10 = 0.4 × V2

V2= 17.5L

vol. of water to add= 17.5 - 10 = 7.5L

The ksp value for lead(ii chloride is 2.4 × 10?4. what is the molar solubility of lead(ii chloride?
charle [14.2K]
Molar solubility is number of moles of the solute that can be dissolved per liter of solution before the solution becomes saturated. 

The molar solubility of lead(ii) chloride with ksp value of 2.4 × 10e4 can be solve as: 

Ksp = s2 = 2.4 × 10e4
s2 = 2.4 × 10e4
s = √(2.4 × 10e4)
s =  154.9 mol/L
