What is the function of the light-dependent reactions?​

Biology
1 answer:
lara31 [8.8K]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The overall function of light-dependent reactions, the first stage of photosynthesis, is to convert solar energy into chemical energy in the form of NADPH and ATP, which are used in light-independent reactions and fuel the assembly of sugar molecules.

Metamorphic rock _____.
Andru [333]

Answer:

arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form". The original rock is subjected to heat and pressure, causing profound physical or chemical change. The protolith may be a sedimentary, igneous, or existing metamorphic rock.

Why do biologists believe glycolysis evolved before the krebs cycle and the electron transport chain?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

Glycolysis evolved before Kreb's cycle and Electron Transport chain. This view is supported by following facts:

  • Glucose cannot enter the mitochondria and it needs to be broken  down into pyruvate in the cytosol by the process of glycolysis.
  • Pyruvate then forms acetyl CoA that enters the mitochondria where it undergoes Kreb's cycle.
  • The Electron transport Chain occurs by passing of electron and finally donating it to the electron acceptor oxygen. The molecules of NADH  produced in the preparatory phase of glycolysis provides the electron for electron transport chain.
  • Thus Glycolysis must have evolved before Kreb's Cycle and Electron Transport Chain otherwise the raw materials for both the processes would not have been available.

A scientist thinks that a certain chemical is a mutagen. She exposes plant cells to a large amount of this chemical in the labor
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The cells change after being exposed to the chemical, and this change is passed to the next generation of cells.

Explanation:

A mutation is any change, whether big or small, that occurs to the nucleotide sequence of a gene in a cell as caused by mistake during replication or induced by a mutation causing substance. These mutation-causing substances are called MUTAGEN.

A MUTAGEN is any substance that causes genetic mutation in an organism's cell. These changes in the nucleotide sequence can affect one or more phenotypic characteristics of the affected organism, which is also passed to offsprings because it is a genetic change.

Hence, a plant cell exposed to this mutagen will be induced to mutate.

Hence, the cells changing after being exposed to the chemical, which is also passed to the next generation of cells best provides explanation that the chemical is a MUTAGEN.

Organisms that can't live in the presence of oxygen are called facultative anaerobes.
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Facultative anaerobes are organisms that can grow in both the presence or absence of oxygen.

Organism that suffer a poisonous reaction or that can't live in the presence of oxygen are called obligate anaerobes.

What is the process called that converts the genetic information stored in DNA to an RNA copy? a. Translocation b. Translation c
nordsb [41]

The correct answer is: c. Transcription

Transcription is the first step of gene expression in which DNA molecule is copied (transcribed) into RNA (mRNA) by RNA polymerase. The process of transcription is divided into three phases:

1. Initiation

• RNA polymerase with transcriptional factors bind to gene promoter  

• RNA polymerase unwinds DNA double helix (transcription bubble is formed)

2. Elongation

• RNA polymerases adds nucleotides complementary to DNA  

3. Termination

• RNA polymerase gets to stop codon (transcribes a sequence of DNA known as a terminator)

• Formed complementary RNA strand is released from DNA-RNA complex
