The connection between transportation and the environmental impacts of urban areas.

1 answer:

5 0

Mobile transportation, like: private cars, jeepneys and buses use energy and burn petroleum. During the combustion process, these mobile transports exhaust fumes that contain nitrous oxides, carbon dioxide and other particulates that pollutes the air and contributes to global warming.

As an additional information, China is considered as the country to produce most fossil fuel CO2 emission in 2015, followed by the United States.

Which is the best example of Newton's Second Law of Motion?

kykrilka [37]

If you use as much force on a bigger object and a smaller object the smaller object will have more acceleration, because the smaller object has less mass.

Put these steps in the order in which they occur in light-dependent reactions. Electrons are transferred from photosystem II to

Tamiku [17]

Explanation:

Light energy is absorbed and transferred to the reaction center.
A water molecule is split.
Electrons are transferred from photosystem II to photosystem I.
ATP is synthesized from ADP and inorganic phosphate.

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.

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 (ti 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.

Rotenone, a toxic compound isolated from plants, strongly inhibits the transfer of electrons from iron-sulfur centers in Complex

Darya [45]

Answer:

(A) It prevents electron flow from the iron-sulfur centers in complex 1 to the ubiquinone. Due to reduction in electron transfer rate, there is a decrease in the production of ATP which is dangerous for some insects and fish over time.

(B) It also prevents electron flow from cytochrome b to cytochrome c1 at the complex III which leads to QH2 accumulation. If oxidized Q is not present, these is alteration of electron flow and the production of ATP is altered.

(C) Rotenone only prevent electron transfer into the chain at Complex 1 but it does not affect electron transfer at Complex II. Although there is slow ETC, it does not stop completely. However, Antimycin A prevents the oxidation of QH2, the final electron acceptor crom complex I and complex II. Thereby, stopping the production of both ETC and ATP. It can be concluded that antimycin A is a more potent poison.

Explanation:

Rotenone prevents electron flow from the iron-sulfur centers in complex 1 to the ubiquinone. Due to a reduction in electron transfer rate, there is a decrease in the production of ATP which is dangerous for some insects and fish over time. Antimycin A also prevents electron flow from cytochrome b to cytochrome c1 at the complex III which leads to QH2 accumulation. If oxidized Q is not present, there is an alteration of electron flow and the production of ATP is altered. Antimycin A is more potent than rotenone.

Which of the following is a postzygotic isolating barrier?

Jet001 [13]

Answer: The following is a postzygotic isolating barrier :

The hybrid offspring of two species of crocodiles can produce normal gametes but cannot obtain a mate.

Explanation:

Reproductive isolation occurs when barriers prevent two populations from interbreeding , keeping their gene pools separate.

We can find the Prezygotic isolation that occurs before fertilization can happen.

And the Postzygotic insolation barriers are the reproductive insulation processes that act after the mating. They are all that concern the viability of the individuals produced.

Prezygotic isolation barriers can be temporal, behavioural, geographic , ecological or mechanical; whereas postzygotic isolation barriers include the inviability, infertility or breakdown of hybrid organisms
