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

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.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

16

Explanation:

Aquaporin 1 is a protein coding which exists as a tetramer {a tetramer is an oligomer formed from four monomers}. It functions as a molecular water channel proteins and also a non-selective cation channels. Each monomer in a complete aquaporin complex can form four (4) water molecules. As such, there will be sixteen (16) molecules of water present in an Aquaporin-1 Complex.

In 1815 a volcano erupted spewing billions of tons of ash into the sky. This ash "cloud" caused global annual temperatures to dr
lianna [129]

Answer:

The Atmosphere

Explanation:

1816 was a year without summer because the billions of tons of ash that was spewed blocked radiation preventing it from reaching the surface of the earth.

A volcano is a break in the crust of planetary bodies like Earth that allows gasses, volcanic ash, and hot lava to escape. Volcanos are one of the major factors that cause climate changes on Earth mostly because of their cooling effect.

The ash, gasses and lava usually escape to the atmospheric layer of the earth with their cooling effect. And they cool the earth by blocking incoming solar radiation. This can go on for months or years depending on the components and severity of the eruption and can lead to "a year without summer" as witnessed in 1816.
