What molecule(s) link the light reactions (stage 1 of photosynthesis) to the Calvin cycle (stage 2 of photosynthesis)?

Biology

Zina [86]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

ATP and NADPH

Explanation:

The photosynthetic process carried out by plants involves two distinct stages: the light-dependent stage and the Light-independent stage. The light-dependent stage occurs in the thylakoid membrane of the CHLOROPLAST and it involves a series of chemical reactions that results in the formation of an energy storage molecule (ATP) and reduced electron carrier (NADPH).

These molecules enters the Calvin cycle or light-independent stage. The chemical energy of ATP and reducing ability of NADPH are used to phosphorylate and reduce a 3-carbon compound (PGA) in the Calvin cycle. These two molecules (NADPH and ATP) are important to keep the Calvin cycle in place. Hence, the Calvin cycle is dependent on the light reaction and this two molecules link the two stages.

What is the relationship between enzymes and activation energy?
Georgia [21]

Hello!

Chemical reactions require energy to begin. The reactants must collide with enough energy for bonds to change. This energy is known as activation energy - the difference in energy between that of the reactants and the amount needed for the reaction to occur.

Catalysts lower the activation energy needed for a chemical reaction to occur, therefore also increasing the rate of a reaction. Enzymes are proteins which act as catalysts within cells.

Therefore, enzymes cause the activation energy to lower.

Charles Darwin observed a unique beak size and shape in the finch population of each of the Galapagos Islands that he visited. 4
Rasek [7]

Natural selection would probably favor different varieties in the different islands. In other words, beaks changed as the birds developed different tastes for fruits, seeds, or insects picked from the ground or cacti (due to lack of food resources). Long, pointed beaks made some of them more fit for picking seeds out of cactus fruits.
