The mitochondria

Biology
2 answers:
DerKrebs [107]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct answer are

a. Are the sites of oxidative phosphorylation.

c. Possess their own DNA and

d. Are sites of ATP production.

Explanation:

Mitochondria are double membranous structures that are found in eukaryotes. These are structure present in almost all the eukaryotes. The process of aerobic respiration takes place in mitochondria.

Mitochondria have their own DNA which is smaller than nuclear DNA and are circular in shape like bacterial DNA. It is called the powerhouse of the cell because ATP synthesis takes place in mitochondria which provide energy to the cell.

The ATP is produced through the process of oxidative phosphorylation which occurs in the matrix and mitochondrial membrane. In oxidative phosphorylation, ATP is produced by energy released from the oxidation of NADH and FADH₂ molecules.

Therefore the correct answer is a,c, and d.

Answer:

Option (a), (c) and (d).

Explanation:

The prokaryotes lacks the nucleus and the membrane bound organelles. Eukaryotes have well defined nucleus and the endomembrane  system is present in eukaryotes.

The main site of the oxidative phosphorylation is the mitochondria in case of eukaryotes. The mitochondria are known as semi autonomous organelle as it contains its genetic material. As the oxidative phosphorylation occurs in mitochondria, this is the main site of ATP production. The mitochondria is a membrane bound organelle and absent in case of prokaryotes.

Thus, the correct answer is option  (a), (c) and (d).

Which processes are involved in the chloroplast of a plant cell?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Chloroplast absorbs sunlight and it is used to make feed for the plant together with water and carbon dioxide gas. Chloroplasts are used to generate the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH via a photosynthesis process.

Explanation:

The site of photosynthesis action is chloroplast within a plant cell consisting of two chlorophyll molecules (PS1 and PS2), which have been embedded in the thylakoid membranes. The chloroplast consists of two chlorophyll molecules (photosynthetic pigments responsible for the green color of chloroplast). Each chlorophyll molecule absorbs light, caused to depart the chlorophyll molecules. This absorbs two electrons from each phenotype. PS2 electrons pass through the transportation chain for electron carriers, a series of redox reactions that release the energy used to synthesize ATP via Photophosphorylation/Chemiosmose (as the H+ ions diffuse through the stalked particles ATP, which changes the shape and catalysts, the electrochemical gradient diffuses down through the stalky particle ATP synthase).

Then these electrons replace the electrons lost in PS1. PS2 electron is replaced by photolysis electron, which when light strikes chloroplast, splitting the water into oxygen gas, H+ ions, and electron enzymes in the thylakoid space are catalyzed. The PS1 electrons combine to create NADPH with H+ ions and NADP (reduced NADP). These are the light-dependent photosynthetic reactions in chloroplasts. In the light-independent reactions, the NADPH and ATP are created. A pile of thylakoids is known as granum.

The light-independent processes take happen in the stroma. This is the site of carbon fixation; CO2 reacts with RUBP to generate GP (glycerate-3-phosphate) which is catalyzed by the enzyme RUBISCO (the most abundant enzyme in the world) (the most abundant enzyme in the world). The NADPH and ATP from the light-dependent processes convert GP to GALP (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate). Two out of every 12 GALP molecules produced are used to synthesize glucose that can be employed either in breathing or in cellulose-forming condensation polymerization to add extra strength to the planted cell wall. The other GALP molecules are returned to RUBP.

What best describes the role of Lamarck’s ideas in the development of Darwin’s theory of evolution?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Lamarckism, a theory of evolution based on the principle that physical changes in organisms during their lifetime—such as greater development of an organ or a part through increased use—could be transmitted to their offspring.
