Bacteriorhodopsin pumps protons across the bacterial plasma membrane from the cytosolic side to the extracellular side of the me

mbrane in a series of steps. Choose the step that correctly describe a step used to pump protons across the membrane.A. A proton is transferred from excited retinal to the Asp96 side chain. B. The chromaphore retinal absorbs a photon of light, causing a double bond in retinal to isomerize from trans to cis configuration. C. A proton from Asp96 on the cytosolic side of the protein is used to regenerate retinal.D. A proton from the cytosol side is transferred along multiple water molecules to Asp85.

Answer: Option B.

B. The chromaphore retinal absorbs a photon of light, causing a double bond in retinal to isomerize from trans to cis configuration.

Explanation:

Bacteriorhodopsin is a protein used by archaea or half bacteria that pumps proton across membrane by using the light energy from sun to move protons across membrane. It is found in purple membrane of archaea cells which is known as two dimensional crystalline patches.

It captures photon energy through chromophore retina which is covalently bound and transporting the photons against their electrochemical gradients from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space.

Based on the definition of a watershed, how many different watersheds were there in your model? Explain how you determined this
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Water shed is created when an area or land separates the water flowing to different rivers, basin and seas.

Explanation:

Water shed are of different types-

  1. Large water sheds-Contain well developed channel networks.
  2. Small water sheds-Contain dominant land phase.
  3. Urban watershed-It is dominated by building,roads,pavements.
  4. Agriculture water shed-
  5. Forest water shed-Evapotranspiration is the dominant component of the hydrologic cycle.
  6. Mountain water shed-mountain is the dominant component that separates the water flow.
  7. Desert water shed-Sand dunes sand mounds that are formed by blowing air causes separation of water flow.
  8. Coastal watershed-Coastal area may partly be urban and is dynamic contact with sea.The hydrology is influenced by tidal action.

Modern h. sapiens differ from the archaic form in that moderns have
Arte-miy333 [17]
Modern H. sapiens differ from the archaic form in that moderns have a high, vertical forehead, a mental eminene; and lack occipital bun. Modern homo sapiens have distinguishing features such as they have a short base, a high braincase, back of the skull is rounded and indicates a reduction in the neck muscles, face is reasonably small with a projecting nose bone among other features that makes them different from the other sapiens.
