1. What is the Photosynthesis EQUATION? What is being consumed and what is produced?

1 answer:

6 0

1. 6CO2 + H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 02

2. The idea of photosynthesis or light dependent reactions is to convert solar/light energy into chemical energy by the form of ATP and NADPH. CO2 and Water are consumed and react to release Glucose and 02. Approximately 36-38 ATP produced.

3. Water is the source of hydrogen atoms in the glucose (sugar) created by the photosynthesis reaction.

4 .
Step 1) The light absorbed by chlorophyll causes a transfer of electrons and H+ from H20 molecules already present. This causes the H20 to split into molecular 0xygen (02) and a H+ ion.

Step 2.) The O2 is released (we breathe it) and the H+ bonds to NADP+ creating NADPH

Step 3) ATP is formed through photophosphorylation. (ADP gets a phosphate group added to it creating ATP)

Step 4.) The NADPH and the ATP created here go on to fuel the reactions in the second part of photosynthesis - The Calvin Cycle

5. The Calvin cycle is a metabolic process that uses the carbon from carbon dioxide, along with energy in the form of ATP, to produce sugar.
A G3P molecule contains three fixed carbon atoms, so it takes two G3Ps to build a six-carbon glucose molecule. It would take six turns of the cycle.

6. To help synthesize carbohydrates for energy

7. In fixation, the first stage of the Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions are initiated; CO2 is fixed from an inorganic to an organic molecule. In the second stage, ATP and NADPH are used to reduce 3-PGA into G3P; then ATP and NADPH are converted to ADP and NADP +, respectively

What is a young, anucleate erythrocyte called?

VARVARA [1.3K]

The right answer is reticulocyte.

The reticulocyte is the cell preceding the erythrocyte stage in erythropoiesis. He is almost like her.

Reticulocytes are young red blood cells that still have ribosomes and mitochondria, but no peroxisomes. They are therefore capable of a fairly intense metabolism and they still actively synthesize hemoglobin.

What happens to water on Earth’s surface as it is heated by the sun? What is this process called?

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

As the water is heated by the sun, water vapor is created and released into the air (process is called evaporation)

Explanation:

The heat coming from the sun heats up the water droplets and turns those droplets from a liquid into a gas (water vapor)

1) As the body's chemical messengers, _____________________ transfer information and instructions from one set of cells to anoth

trapecia [35]

Answer:

1) As the body's chemical messengers, hormones transfer information and instructions from one set of cells to another.

2) A gland is a group of cells that produces and secretes, or gives off, chemicals.

3) Hormones are released into the bloodstream via small tubes called duct.

4) Hormones find their way through the blood to their targeted/respective cells.

5) Each hormone is a differently shaped key that will only fit into the correct receptor lock.
