Biology
1 answer:
worty [1.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The functional unit of a muscle cell is known as a "sarcomere" which covers the distance between the two Z-lines.

The sarcomere consists of A-zone which contains both thick and thin filaments, H-zone which contains only thick filaments and I band which contains only thin filaments.

During muscle contraction, thick and thin myofibrils slide over each other due to which the distance between two z-line get reduced. The H and I zone gets shortened but A zone does not shorten but come close to other A- bands and disappears.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

ATP and NADPH that were supplied through the light reactions

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Calvin cycle reaction is the portion of photosynthesis that takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts and can occur in the dark; it uses the products of the light reactions to reduce CO2 to a carbohydrate.</u></em>
  • The Calvin cycle is divided into three portions: CO2 fixation, CO2 reduction, and regeneration of RuBP. Because five G3P are needed to re-form three RuBP, it takes three turns of the cycle to have a net gain of one G3P. Two G3P molecules are needed to form glucose.
