Explanation:

-Pheophytin

P680 the primary donor of Photosystem II becomes excited and transfers an electron to pheophytin. Pheophytin is the initial intermediate electron acceptor and carrier in Photosystem II; it is a chlorophyll-like molecule that lacks a central magnesium ion.

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, like Pheophytin .
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 (to 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.

Describe how algal blooms form.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

Algal blooms occur when algae multiply very quickly. Blooms can form in waters that are rich in the nutrients the algae need to grow, such as nitrogen, phosphorous, and iron. ... Blooms may become more frequent as the earth warms and the levels of nutrients in our waters increase.

PLEAE HELP!!! WILL GIVE BRAIN!!!! Make my Christmas!

lidiya [134]

Explanation: Sudden Increase Factors:

- Since there are no predators, there are no ways they could be eaten, with this case, it significantly increases the population.

- Since there are a lot of females, and some males, the males could find mates, and have some baby reindeer, which also increase the population.

Sudden Decrease Factors:

- One decreasing factor is starvation. With there being so many reindeers, all the food is going away quickly. After a few years after the growth spurt, most of them probably died because of there not being a lot of food.

- Another decreasing factor is Old Age. Since there are 21 females, they are older than the babies, and they couldn't have lived much longer, and probably died.

- Another factor; sickness. With there being starvation, their immune system is degrading, and meaning sicknesses could come, so maybe a huge sickness // disease came, and wiped out quite a bit of the population.

I really hoped this helped. :)

Sandra Bem coined the term _____ to describe those people who possess both masculine, or instrumental, and feminine, or expressi

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Hello!

The answer is androgyny.

Explanation:

Sandra Bem was a psychologist who studied gender and gender roles.
She is famously known for introducing the Gender Schema Theory and the Bem Sex-Role Inventory or BSRI which is a test that classifies individuals on the basis of male and female traits.
Bem's work has helped to redefine gender roles in society.
Bem stated that each individual has both masculine and feminine traits and their gender roles could be determined on the basis of score on the BSRI.
She introduced the androgyny to define people who have an equal number of both masculine and feminine traits on the BSRI.

A pond near a city park is found to be contaminated with both bacteria and excess nitrogen. The bacteria most likely came from _

kiruha [24]

Excess nitrogen is brought in the pond from the fertilizer, which are ladden in nitrogen and phosphorous, and rain water or running water takes that nitrogen to the water bodies.Bacteria must have come from the sewage disposal in the pond. Sewage is rich in organic material and allows proliferation of bacteria, which is taken to the pond when the sewage is disposed in the pond.
