Arteries carry blood (with oxygen) from our heart out to your body, while veins carry blood (without oxygen) from your body to your heart. Arteries are strong, flexible blood vessels that are able to expand (get bigger) and contract (get smaller). They expand as your heart beats, and contract between heart beats. Veins are less flexible than arteries. They have valves (doors) that open and close to let blood through.

Hydrogen ions are important in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis because they produce a

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

a. the production of ATP

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is type of biosynthesis that produces glucose from the reactants sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. It happens in two phases of the chloroplast, the light-dependent and light-independent reactions. In a light reaction that stimulates photosystems, pigments such as chlorophyll absorb light energy at specific wavelengths. Here,

Light energy stimulates photosystem complexes formed from chlorophyll. Photosystem II then absorbs and transfers light to a reaction core.
Water undergoes hydrolysis or splitting to yield an electron, a proton (H+) and oxygen.
energy is passed along the electron transport chain, where it forms builds up H+ and an electrochemical gradient in the thylakoid space
These protons pass through the ATPase enzyme embedded within the membrane, into the stroma, generating ATP from ADP.
NADPH is generated from NADP+
