Lipids provide long term energy storage
3 examples of proteins in living organisms:
1. Collagen - maintains firmness and structure to body cells and tissues, keeping them together.
2. Keratin - creates the protective barrier for living organisms like skin, nails, and hair.
3. Globular and trans-membrane - supports the regulation of the flow of small ions and molecules such as sodium and glucose.
Note that Facilitated diffusion , Active transport and Osmosis are three different ways of transporting substances across the cell surface membrane.
Facilitated diffusion is the movement of a substance from high to low concentration , similar to simple diffusion , but due to the complexity of the cell surface membrane , polar molecules and ions cannot just pass like that , so they pass through specific carrier and channel proteins in the cell surface membrane and so we call it facilitated diffusion.
For Active transport , it's the movement from low to high concentraion using energy from ATP
For Osmosis , it's totally different . You only name osmosis when its all about water . Its the net movement of water from high water potential to low water potential through partially permeable membrane .
If you're doing AS , you'll be familiar with Endosmosis and Exosmosis.
The correct answer for this question is (D) It can proceed in the dark.
Calvin cycle is named after Melvin C. Calvin, who won a Nobel prize in chemistry for finding it in 1961. Calvin cycle take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis and it is a <u>light-independent reaction so also called as dark reaction.</u>
The Calvin cycle proceeds in three stages:
1. Carboxylation, during which CO2 combines with ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate
2. Reduction, during which carbohydrate is formed at the expense of photochemically made ATP and NADPH
3. Regeneration during which the CO2 acceptor ribulose-1,5- bisphosphate is formed again so that the cycle continues.
Ingesting a meal will increase your sugar levels, so you need more insulin released to combat that. There will be more insulin released in your body and less glucogon.
