Atoms are the most basic units

Elements are specific types of atoms

Compounds are composed of more than one type of element and are held together by chemical bonds

Which of the following statements about homologous chromosomes is correct?

frez [133]

The answer is <span>a. Each gene is at the same locus on both chromosomes.

Since e</span><span>ach gene is at the same locus on both chromosomes, they are able to pair correctly before they separate in meiosis. They never produce identical phenotypes. Also, the genes and alleles on the homologous chromosomes are not identical. </span>

Which weighs more: a pound of feathers or a pound of lead? Explain.

ki77a [65]

Answer: both weigh the same.

This is a very obvious question just because the lead is heavier that does not mean it ways more than the other. One pound of feathers is the same as one pound of lead

Put these steps in the order in which they occur in light-dependent reactions. Electrons are transferred from photosystem II to

Tamiku [17]

Explanation:

Light energy is absorbed and transferred to the reaction center.
A water molecule is split.
Electrons are transferred from photosystem II to photosystem I.
ATP is synthesized from ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released. This occurs in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.

The chloroplast is a membrane bound organelle found in plants. It contains several invaginations of a plasma membrane called the thylakoid membrane. This contains chlorophyll pigments, in stacks called granum, while the internal spaces of the organelle are called the lumen. Liquid surrounds the granum, forming the stroma.

During the light reaction:

Light is absorbed by pigments in phosystem II (PSII). This energy is transferred among pigments til it gets to the reaction center, and is transferred to P680; this promotes an electron to a higher energy level where it then goes to an acceptor molecule.

Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II. Additionally, water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent.
the electron moves down an electron transport chain (ti PS I)where it experiences continuous energy loss. This energy fuels the pumping of H+ from the stroma to thykaloid, leading to the formation of a gradient. The H+ move along their gradient and cross through ATP synthase, into the the stroma.
ATP synthase converts ADP and Pi to the energy storage molecule ATP.
The electron gets to photosystem I where it goes to pigments at P700. It absorbs light energy, the electron is promoted to a higher energy level, and passed to an electron acceptor. This leaves a space for another electron which is then replaced by one from photosystem II.
in the ETC, the molecule NADP is reduced to NADPH by providing H+ ions. NADP and NADPH are integral to the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules.

Like a key in a lock, the shape of the _____ must bind with the _____ of the receiving neuron.

likoan [24]

Neurotransmitters are the chemical molecules, which help in transfer of the signals from one neuron to another. Inside the neurons, the signals are transferred as electrical signals, but at junction of two neuron, which is known as synapse, the signals are transferred in chemical forms.

These neurotransmitters have a definite shape and are recognized by the receptors present in the receptor site of the succeeding neuron. The neurotransmitters from the synapse binds to the receptor site of the receiving neuron. binding of the neurotransmitter to the receptor causes excitation of the receiving neuron, which also known as postsynaptic neuron.

Hence, Like a key in a lock, the shape of the neurotransmitter must bind with the receptors of the receiving neuron.
