What is the potential energy in the thylakoid membrane used for?

Biology

liubo4ka [24]3 years ago

The right answer is to perform photosynthesis (more precisely to convert ADP to ATP by ATP synthase).

Light comes to us in the form of photons. These photons have a different energy potential depending on their wavelength.

When a pigment picks up a photon corresponding to its absorption capacity, one of its electrons goes into the excited state. This energy can be transmitted in 3 ways: either by spreading it in the form of photon or heat; both ways lose energy. The third is to transmit resonance energy and there is almost no loss of energy.

A photosystem consists of a reaction center and a collector antenna to optimize the absorption of photons triggering photochemical reactions in order to operate the ATP synthase to produce ATP in the presence of a hydrogen gradient.

Why is oxygen important to all living things?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

living things respire to get oxygen for living cells to function. Without air, there is no life. Plants use Carbon Dioxide (together with sunlight and water) to produce energy and give out Oxygen as a by-product. This oxygen is what almost all animals need to survive.

Which of the following best describes the Lianas vine?
raketka [301]

The answer is; C

It is a woody plant with a flexible stem that can grow extremely long. Its stem cannot stand vertically on its own hence uses other trees for support and climbs up the canopy for good sunlight. They are common plants in rainforests and play a significant role in the ecosystems. They provide support for weaker trees from strong winds and provide bridges for arboreal animals such as monkeys.

Glucose enters cells most rapidly by __________.
Brilliant_brown [7]
<span>Glucose enters cells most rapidly by Facilitated Diffusion. This is a process in which molecules and ions are transported through the cell's membrane using proteins that are specifically created for that function. It's passive which means it doens't require energy, which is great for glucose because glucose is a carbohydrate, essentially energy, so more energy is created than lost.</span>

Idk this at all so please help
artcher [175]

Answer:

The Calvin cycle is a process that plants and algae use to turn carbon dioxide from the air into sugar, the food autotrophs need to grow.

Every living thing on Earth depends on the Calvin cycle. Plants depend on the Calvin cycle for energy and food. Other organisms, including herbivores, also depend on it indirectly because they depend on plants for food. Even organisms that eat other organisms, such as carnivores, depend on the Calvin cycle. Without it, they wouldn't have the food, energy, and nutrients they need to survive.

The Calvin cycle has four main steps: carbon fixation, reduction phase, carbohydrate formation, and regeneration phase. <em>Energy to fuel chemical reactions in this sugar-generating process is provided by ATP and NADPH, chemical compounds which contain the energy plants have captured from sunlight.</em>
