In the light dependent reactions light energy is absorbed by the photosytem II and an electron is released. This electron causes a process called photolysis to occur(H20-->2H++2e-+1/2O2). This is how O2 is released in the atmosphere. The electrons resulted from photolyisis enter the electron transport chain. In the electron transport chain using the energy in the elecrtons, hydrogen protons are pumped inside the thylakoid. Those protons accumulate to form an electrochemical gradient. That means the protons need to flow out, and they do through an enzyme called ATP-synthase which turns ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP and water. In the electron transport chain, the electrons reach Photosystem I where NADP+ is reduced and becomes NADPH.
ATP and NADPH store the energy absorbed in the light dependent reactions. Those two molecules are needed when CO2 is fixated in Calvin's cycle to synthesize glucose.
They form a spore when they run out of food.
You mean what is the name of this complex? snRNP - small nuclear ribonucleoprotein
Answer:
B = hydrogen bonding
Explanation:
The water molecule consist of two hydrogen atom one oxygen atom. There is large electronegativity difference between oxygen and hydrogen. Both atoms are bonded through covalent bonds.
Covalent bond:
It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.
The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.
For example:
In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial negative. The partial positive end of one water molecule attracted towards the partial negative end of other moleucle. The attraction between them is called hydrogen bonding. In this way large mole are connected with each other. Hydrogen bonding is actually a weak bonding.
Answer:
The functional groups that define the two different ends of a single strand of nucleic acids are:
B. a free hydroxyl group on the 5' carbon a free hydroxyl group on the 3' carbon
G. a free phosphate group on the 5' carbon
Explanation:
A nucleic acid is a polymer formed of nucleotides that are linked with a phosphodiester bond. The structure of a nucleotide consists on a phosphate group linked to a pentose (ribose in RNA and deoxyribose in DNA) that is also attached to a nitrogenous base. The nitrogenous bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine (in DNA) and uracil (in RNA).
DNA and RNA are nucleic acids which can be found in a double or single strand presentation.
Nucleic acids are synthesize in the 5’ to 3’ direction, so that is why the convention is that the sequences are written and read in that direction.
The strand of a nucleic acid is directional with an end-to-end orientation, where the 5’ end has a free hydroxyl or phosphate group on the 5' carbon of the terminal pentose, and the 3’ end has a free hydroxyl group on the 3’ carbon on the terminal pentose (ribose/ deoxyribose).
