Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process taking place in the green plants which are involved in the formation of the glucose molecule using Carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

The process of photosynthesis takes place in two phases:

1. Light-dependent phase

2. Light independent phase

<u>Light-dependent phase </u>

Light-dependent phase takes place in the thylakoid membrane where the Photosystem I and II are present.

The photosystem II absorbs the sunlight of 680 nm wavelength which excites the electron of the chlorophyll. The electron moves in the photosystem and through the reaction center-exit the photosystem and enters the electron transport chain.

The electron is then transferred via the electron carriers like plastoquinone, cytochrome, and plastocyanin and is transferred to photosystem I which absorbs the light at 700 nm. From here the electron is taken by ferrodoxin and form NADH.

The electron then reaches the ATP synthase and forms the ATP molecules thus ATP and NADPH are formed in the reaction but the loss of electron in chlorophyll is fulfilled by the water molecule which on hydrolysis provides the electrons and stabilize the structure.

<u>  Light independent phase </u>

The phase during which the Rubisco enzyme binds with the carbon dioxide and forms 3-PGA. This 3 PGA is then reduced to G3P which requires the 6 ATP molecules. The G3P molecule then forms 1 molecule of glucose and the Rubp is again regenerated.

Which of the following is not an effect of complement activation? Select one: Interference with viral replication Increased phag
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Interference with viral replication".

Explanation:

The complement system is an essential part of the immune system that involves the activation of a series of proteins that act as a cascade and result in the development of inflammatory responses that help to fight infections. There are multiple effects of complement activation, however interference with viral replication is not one of them. The molecules that are able to interfere with viral replication are called interferons, and they synthesis and activation are not related with complement activation.
