Answer: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP)

Explanation:

<u>Photosynthesis</u> is a metabolic process in which light is transformed into stable chemical energy, converting inorganic matter into organic matter.

This process is mainly divided in two parts:

-Light-dependent reactions (also called light reactions)

-Light-independent reactions (also called dark reactions).

In the case of light reactions, the light is used by the plant to produce organic energy molecules, being the coenzyme Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) the final electron acceptor.

It should be noted, this coenzyme is also involved in the dark phase of photosynthesis, in which carbon dioxide ( $CO_{2}$ ) is fixed into carbohydrates.

Answer: 23.56 nV

Explanation:

Assuming that we apply Ohm's Law to this situation, we know that under this condition, the current resultant, is proportional to the voltage applied, and that the proportionality constant, is called the resistance.

Now, we define electric current, as the passage of a number of charges over time.

In this case, we can say that each singly-ionized potassium ion carries the charge equivalent to the one electron, which is q = 1.6. 10⁻¹⁹ coulombs.

So, as we have 90,000 ions, we will have a total charge as follows:

Q =90.10³. 1.6.10⁻¹⁹ coulombs

Also, we are told that this charge will be moving for 1.1 msec, so we can find the current I as follows:

I = Q/t ⇒ I = 13.09. 10⁻¹² A.

If we know that R= 1.8.10⁹ Ω, we can determine V, applying Ohm's Law, as follows:

V = 13.09. 10⁻¹² A . 1.8.10⁹ Ω = 23.56 nV
