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.

Which best describes accuracy
aleksley [76]
Accuracy describes how well a measuring instrument determines the variable it is measuring. How close the value is to real value. The level of accuracy of measuring tool determines the detail to which it can measure. In order to be accurate in their work scientists need first select a measuring instrument that allows an appropriate measure of accuracy and then to calibrate it. Calibrating an instrument involves measuring already known quantities to check how accurately it is. In the laboratory accuracy of a test is determined when possible comparing results from the test in question with results geenrated from an established reference method.
