Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their own food in the presence of sunlight by utilizing carbon-dioxide and water and produces oxygen and energy.

The process of photosynthesis has two types of reactions: light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions.

The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts in which plants use light energy to form ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH.

In this reaction, photosystem II (P700) absorbs lights energy and passed it to reaction center. this energy is then is transferred to photosystem I (P680), that pump an electron to a high energy level. The high-energy electron then travel to an electron transport chain and releases energy. this released energy pump H+  ions into the thylakoid interior from the stroma and build a gradient  H+ ions move through gradient and they pass through ATP synthase resulting in the formation of ATP.

The higher energy electron as moves into an electron transport chain, the electron is passed to NADP+ to form NADPH.

Answer:

Some substance in the infectious S strain could change the harmless R strain into the more lethal form.

Explanation:

These first type of experiments where crucial to advance in DNA knowledge.

In one experiment, they treated the material with enzymes that destroy all proteins. This is important because scientist notice that there was something else that was causing the strain to change into a lethal form and was heritable (DNA).  Know a days we know that plasmids are responsible for such transformation.

3. Suppose you are viewing a sample from a PURE culture and observe both red and purple cocci. What are the possible problems th
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The culture might not be stained properly or the culture might be too old.

Explanation:

Gram staining is done to differentiate between gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria according to the difference in their cell wall. In gram staining, the gram-positive bacteria appears violet and gram-negative bacteria appear pink in color.

Therefore if a pure culture contains have both red and purple cocci that it can be concluded that the gram stating was not done properly like too much destaining was done or too much safranin was used or maybe the culture is too old so that cell wall of some bacteria degrades.
