Answer:

Concentrations of ATP, NADPH and sugars would decrease

Further Explanation:

Light energy is absorbed and transferred to the reaction center.
A water molecule is split.
Electrons are transferred from photosystem II to photosystem I.
ATP is synthesized from ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released. This occurs in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.

The chloroplast is a membrane bound organelle found in plants. It contains several invaginations of a plasma membrane called the thylakoid membrane. This contains chlorophyll pigments, in stacks called granum, while the internal spaces of the organelle are called the lumen. Liquid surrounds the granum, forming the stroma.

During the light reaction:

Light is absorbed by pigments in phosystem II (PSII). This energy is transferred among pigments til it gets to the reaction center, and is transferred to P680; this promotes an electron to a higher energy level where it then goes to an acceptor molecule.
Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II. Additionally, water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent.
the electron moves down an electron transport chain (ETC) to PS I where it experiences continuous energy loss. This energy fuels the pumping of H+ from the stroma to thykaloid, leading to the formation of a gradient. The H+ move along their gradient and cross through ATP synthase, into the the stroma.
ATP synthase converts ADP and Pi to the energy storage molecule ATP.
The electron gets to photosystem I where it goes to pigments at P700. It absorbs light energy, the electron is promoted to a higher energy level, and passed to an electron acceptor. This leaves a space for another electron which is then replaced by one from photosystem II.
in the ETC, the molecule NADP is reduced to NADPH by providing H+ ions. NADP and NADPH are integral to the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules.

If PSI is stopped, this disrupts the ETC and prevents regeneration of NADPH along with ATP production. ATP is an energy storage molecule reuired for the producton of several compounds. Additionally, NADP and NADPH are integral to the dark reactions, or Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules.

Jessica is in labor with her first child. her contractions, which are about 5 minutes apart, are enabled by ______.

seropon [69]

Answer;

-Oxytocin

Oxytocin;

-Oxytocin is a hormone and a neurotransmitter that is involved in childbirth and breast-feeding. It is also associated with empathy, trust, sexual activity, and relationship-building.

-Oxytocin is a neurotransmitter and a hormone that is produced in the hypothalamus. From there, it is transported to and secreted by the pituitary gland, at the base of the brain. It plays a role in the female reproductive functions, from sexual activity to childbirth and breast feeding.

Which of the following best describes the main function of a cell’s nucleus?

BaLLatris [955]

A nucleus is the cell's control centre but the cell membrane is what controls what comes in and out depending whether it is selectively permeable or semi permeable; therefore, the answer would be C because it take control and manages everything in the cell

Seed-bearing plants differ from all other plants in that__. a. they have only xylem and no phloem.. b. they have a gametophyte g

saw5 [17]

The answer is c. their gametes do not require water for fertilization to occur.

<span>Fertilization is the process in which two gametes fuse which first creates a zygote and then leads to the development of an embryo. Pollination is a transfer of male pollen to the female reproductive organ. </span><span>After pollen lands on the stigma, pollen tube begins to grow until it reaches an ovule which is inside the ovary. A nucleus of pollen will fuse with a nucleus of the ovule and that fertilization will occur. </span>

A cell in prophase I of meiosis has _____________ as much DNA as each of the daughter cells following cytokinesis of meiosis II.

kenny6666 [7]

A cell in prophase I of meiosis has twice as much DNA as each of the daughter cells following cytokinesis of meiosis II.

Meiosis is reduction cell division through which gametes (eggs or sperm cells) are formed. Reduction division means that four haploid cells (n) are produced from a single diploid cell (2n). The number of chromosomes is reduced by half during meiosis but during fertilization are returned to the full numer, when the two gametes fuse.
