Why do increased temperatures decrease photosystem II activity?

Biology
1 answer:
Alex787 [66]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Options are not given, here are the options.

a.Thylakoid membranes become more permeable to ions

b.The chlorophyll breaks down

c.The peripheral proteins lose their ability to bind to the transmembrane proteins

d.Water cannot bind to PSII to form oxygen

The correct option is C.

The peripheral proteins lose their ability to bind to the transmembrane proteins.

Explanation:

In photosystem 11, it is the center where light is converted to moving electrons. When the chlorophyll molecule absorb light, the electrons gain energy.

Increase temperature affects the activity of photosystem 11 because the peripheral protein lose their ability to bind to the transmembrane protein which is as a result of high temperature affecting the surface of ionic interactions which is for binding to transmembrane protein.

Red blood cells are placed in water that has been distilled so there are no solutes dissolved in the water. Are the red blood ce
Thepotemich [5.8K]


Red blood cells will swell and burst.

The reason behind this is that red blood cells are okay when they are in the plasma (the watery part of the blood) because the solutes in plasma are so  well balanced that plasma is rendered isotonic. An isotonic solution is a type of solution that has the same salt concentration as its surrounding environment and thus the substances around it e.g. cells neither gain nor lose water. In the blood plasma, the red blood cells neither lose nor gain water  and so they remain intact.

However distilled water is hypotonic (has less or no solutes) and therefore osmosis will take place when red blood cell which have a higher solute concentration are placed in it. Water molecules will leave the distilled water and pass into the red blood cells through the semi-permeable membrane of the cells in an attempt to equalize the difference in osmotic pressure on either side of the membrane. In so doing, water will accumulate in the cell which will then swell to capacity and ultimately burst.
