Answer:

The excessive alcohol consumption of the mother.

Explanation:

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy harms the developing baby, the foetus. This is because alcohol passes from the mother's blood to the baby's blood and this affects the growth of the baby's cell.

This causes severe damage to the cells of the brain and the spinal cord.

FASD - Fetal Alcohol Spectrums Disorder is characterised by growth and developmental problems and it can range from mild to severe.

Example is the baby having small head, narrow eye and behavioural problems later in life.

Answer:

Prenatal factors

Explanation:

Prenatal factors are the factors that occur during the prenatal stage which affect the growth and development of a baby.

Major prenatal factors that can affect the growth and development of a baby could include those that has to do with maternal factors such as the nutrition of the mother, exposure of the mother to toxins, alcoholism and lifestyle of the mother, maternal infection, mental illnesses of the mother etc.

Alcoholism in pregnant women, as an habit, has been linked to the cause impaired growth of a baby.

What is the path of H+ions through the thylakoids
Mariana [72]

Answer and Explanation:

Hydrogen ions in the thylakoid space form an electrochemical gradient because of the difference in the concentration of protons (H+) and the difference in the charge across the membrane that they create. This potential energy is stored as chemical energy in ATP through chemiosmosis. The hydrogen ions are allowed to pass through the thylakoid membrane through an embedded protein complex called ATP synthase. Energy from the electron fuels membrane pumps that actively move hydrogen ions against their concentration gradient from the stroma into the thylakoid space. The photon causes an electron in the chlorophyll to become excited.
