Answer:

The correct answer is c they are used for cellular respiration.

Explanation:

The light independent reaction or the dark reaction of photosynthesis also called calvin cycle which consist of many enzyme catalyzed biochemical steps that ultimately result in the formation of glucose.

The so formed glucose during calvin cycle undergo cellular respiration basically aerobic respiration which involves glycolysis,krebs cycle ans oxidative phosphorylation that finally leads to form energy in form of ATP or Adenosine tri phosphate along with water and carbondioxide as byproducts.

What can people do to stop the creation of more antibiotic resistant bacteria?

Allushta [10]

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria do some variation in their genome that allows bacteria to eliminate the effect of antibacterial drugs. Irregular or excessive antibiotics use is the main cause of generating antibiotic resistance bacteria.

So antibiotics should be taken only on the prescription of doctors and a complete course of antibiotics should be done to eliminate all the bacteria so that no bacteria is left to generate antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Antibiotics should be avoided in viral infection as antibiotic does not kill viruses as it is only beneficial in bacterial infection.

When plants that are heterozygous for round seeds are crossed, what is the probability that the offspring will have wrinkled see

VashaNatasha [74]

1/4. There is a 1/2 chance for each plant to pass on a gene for wrinkled seeds, and both must pass the gene, so we have 1/2*1/2=1/4.

Can someone please help me with this table?

ella [17]

Explanation:

overall: 3 CO2 + 6 NADPH + 5 H2O + 9 ATP → glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) + 2 H+ + 6 NADP+ + 9 ADP + 8 Pi (Pi = inorganic phosphate)

CO2

An ubiquitous gas, and inorganic source of carbon. It is obtained from the atmosphere and fixed in the process photosynthesis, to an organic form by the enzyme RuBisCO. This forms carbohydrates, large energy storage compounds. Carbohydrates molecules that supply energy and provide support; they consist of mainly sugars or starches in long chains and rings to form monosaccharide monomers.

RuBP

Ribulose bisphosphate, RuBP an organic substance, In the Calvin cylcle it is are reduced and carbon is fixed from an inorganic CO2 to an organic form by the enzyme RuBisCO. With every molecule of CO2 fixed, 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglyceric acid are produced. Since two molecules of G3P are made per revolution, 3 turns make 6 G3Ps; 5 of these are used to regenerate RuBP for further fixation.

ATP

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. The energy produced in the form of ATP is used for other reactions involved in growth and development

NADPH

An enzymatic cofactor; it is reduced by water to the molecule NADP 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.

G3P

G3P (glyeraldehyde 3-phosphate).

NADPH and ATP facilitate the addition of electrons to or reduction of 6 molecules of 3PGA to 6 molecules of G3P. A molecule of G3P, goes to the cytoplasm from the Calvin cycle, to form other complex molecules. Fixing sufficient carbon for this G3P export requires 3 revolutions of the cycle. Since two molecules of G3P are made per revolution, 3 turns make 6 G3Ps; 5 of these are used to regenerate RuBP for further fixation.

Glucose

Inclusive of monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides (which describes the type of bonding and the degree of complexity of the polymers), the basic makeup of carbohydrates comprises C, H, O -with many polar OH groups

Glucose is the favored source of carbon (over others like xylose) for many organisms as it can be immediately processed for energy generation in cellular metabolic processes like respiration. This energy produced in the form of ATP is used for other reactions involved in growth and development. These include the urea and citric acid cycle where all amino acids (except eight) are produced as reaction byproducts.

<u>Further explanation:</u>

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.

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; it reduces the molecule NADP 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.

During the initial stage of the Calvin cycle, three molecules of ribulose bisphosphate, RuBP are reduced and carbon is fixed from an inorganic CO2 to an organic form by the enzyme RuBisCO. With every molecule of CO2 fixed, 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglyceric acid are produced. 3-PGA is a 3 carbon molecule with a phosphate attached. ...with each revolution of the cycle, a molecule of RuBP and one CO2 form 3 molecules of 3-PGA
Next, NADPH and ATP facilitate the addition of electrons to or reduction of 6 molecules of 3PGA to 6 molecules of G3P (glyeraldehyde 3-phosphate). The process uses 6 molecules of ATP and 6 of NADPH, after which the conversion of NADPH and ATP to ADP and NADP+ occur; these are returned to the light dependent reactions.
A molecule of G3P, goes to the cytoplasm from this cycle, to form other complex molecules. Fixing sufficient carbon for this G3P export requires 3 revolutions of the cycle. Since two molecules of G3P are made per revolution, 3 turns make 6 G3Ps; 5 of these are used to regenerate RuBP for further fixation.
