Answer:

Synthesis of ATP

Explanation:

Photosynthesis occurs in two major stages viz: light dependent stage and light-independent stage. The light dependent stage involves reactions triggered by light that leads to the synthesis of ATP and NADPH molecules needed for the next stage. The light reactions occurs in the THYLAKOID MEMBRANE of the CHLOROPLAST.

Ideally, in an intact Chloroplast, energy is released by splitting water molecules, a process called PHOTOLYSIS OF WATER. This energy is then used to pump proton (H+ ions) from the stroma of the chloroplast to the thylakoid lumen, which it (H+) accumulates to form a proton pump. This proton pump is then used with the help of an enzyme called ATP synthase to synthesize ATP molecules in a process called CHEMIOSMOSIS.

However, when the thylakoid is punctured and its lumen (interior) is no longer barricaded from the stroma, the H+ will not be able to build up in the thylakoid as they will tend to freely go from the stroma to the thylakoid. Hence, no proton pump will be formed and subsequently, no ATP will be synthesized.

From left to right, which is the sequence of the<br> complementary strand of DNA in this molecule?
ladessa [460]

Answer: Option A) A-C-T-T-G

Explanation:

The base sequence on a strand of DNA is usually paired to specific complimentary bases. These specific pairings are as follows:

Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T)

Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C). So when you find A replace with T, so also replace C with G and vice versa.

Thus, the complimentary sequence of the T-G-A-A-C DNA strand is A-C-T-T-G

What species is/are formed at the anode of the alkaline fuel cell?
umka21 [38]

Fuel cells can make an electricity from a simple electrochemical reaction in which oxygen and hydrogen combine to form water. There are several different types of fuel cell but they are all based around a central design which consists of two electrodes, a negative anode and a positive cathode. These are separated by a solid or liquid electrolyte that carries electrically charged particles between the two electrodes. A catalyst, such as platinum, is often used to speed up the reactions at the electrodes. Fuel cells are classified according to the nature of the electrolyte. Every type needs particular materials and fuels and is suitable for any applications. The article below uses the proton exchange membrane fuel cell to illustrate the science and technology behind the fuel cell concept but the characteristics and applications of the other main designs are also discussed.  Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC)

The hydrogen ions permeate across the electrolyte to the cathode, while the electrons flow through an external circuit and provide power. Oxygen, in the form of air, is supplied to the cathode and this combines with the electrons and the hydrogen ions to produce water. These reactions at the electrodes are as follows:

Anode: 2H24H+ + 4e-

Cathode: O2 + 4H+ + 4e- 2H2O

Overall: 2H2 + O22H2O + energy

PEM cells operate at a temperature of around 80°C. At this low temperature the electrochemical reactions would normally occur very slowly so they are catalysed by a thin layer of platinum on each electrode.

an igneous rock forms quickly. which characteristics could the rock have? small sand grains. Large mineral crystals. smooth, sha
Shalnov [3]

Igneous rocks are formed by hot melted magma coming from the Earth's core that crystalizes when gets in contact with air. They can be either intrusive or extrusive. B) <em>Large mineral crystals.</em>

<h3>What is the igneous rock?</h3>

These rocks come straight from the interior of the Earth.

A liquid mass of silicate composition comes from the Earth's core. This melted mass comes at an extremely high temperature.

Magma begins to cool and solidify during its ascent to the Earth's surface. It solidifies and crystallizes into igneous rock following the magnetic field orientation.

Thre are two types of igneous rocks

• plutonic rocks ⇒ in areas close to the terrestrial crust ⇒ intrusive

• volcanic rocks ⇒ on the surface ⇒ extrusive

According to this description, the correct option is B. <em>Large mineral </em><em>crystals</em><em>.</em>
