Describe how ATP is produced in the light reactions.

Biology
1 answer:
Lynna [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Two reactions take place that produce raw materials for the dark stage:  

  1. Light energy splits the water molecules into <em>hydrogen</em> and <em>oxygen</em>
  2. This process is called <u>photolysis  </u>

The hydrogen is taken up by a hydrogen acceptor called Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) while oxygen is released as a by-product  .

2 H₂O(l) --------->light energy -------> 4 H + O₂ (photolysis

)

Light energy strikes the chlorophyll molecules and sets in motion a series of reactions resulting in the production of a high energy molecule called <em>Adenosine Triphosphate</em> (ATP)

Hope this helps.

Which answer helps to explain why all living cells need ph buffers?
defon

Answer;

Amino acid side chains have many carboxyl and amino groups.

Explanation;

-A buffer solution is a solution that resists changes in pH when small quantities of an acid or an alkali are added to it. It is a chemical substance that helps maintain a relatively constant pH in a solution, even in the face of addition of acids or bases.

-Buffering is important in living systems as a means of maintaining a fairly constant internal environment, also known as homeostasis.Small molecules such as bicarbonate and phosphate provide buffering capacity as do other substances, such as hemoglobin and other proteins.

- Protein buffer systems depend upon proteins, as opposed to nonprotein molecules, to act as buffers and consume small amounts of acid or base. Since amino acids have the capability of reacting with both acid and base, they naturally act as buffers.

padilas [110]

In a resting state, sodium (Na ) is at a higher concentration outside the cell, and potassium (K ) is more concentrated inside the cell. During an action potential, the sodium levels <u>increase </u>inside the cell.

During an action potential, the potassium level inside the cell decreases, and the sodium level inside the cell increases. That is to say, there is an outflow of potassium and an inflow of sodium ions.

Action potential usually occurs when an electrical signal disrupts the balance of Na+ and K+ within a cell membrane, briefly depolarizing the concentrations of each.

At which angle of sunlight does the least amount of heating occur?
valina [46]

Answer:

third option

Explanation:

possibly the third option at 45 degrees (half of a right angle, or like mid-morning) above the horizon the sun's rays strike Earth's surface and spread out over a larger surface area with less intensity, making these regions experience lower temperatures.
