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.

A patient is in an urgent care center and is receiving treatment for mild hyponatremia after spending several hours doing garden
lyudmila [28]

Hyponatremia occurs in an individual when the person has low sodium level in his or her body. In order to have the patient to get his sodium levels back to normal, drug therapy would be used.

Answer:

Purpose: Meiosis is a special version of cell division that occurs only in the testes and ovaries; the organs that produce the male and female reproductive cells; the sperm and eggs. ... Therefore the purpose of meiosis is to produce gametes, the sperm, and eggs, with half of the genetic complement of the parent cells.

Genetic variability is a measure of the tendency of individual genotypes in a population to vary (become different) from one another. Variability is different from genetic diversity, which is the amount of variation seen in a particular population.

Meiosis generates genetic diversity through a process called crossing over which allows new combinations of variations to appear in gene pool. ... Chiasmatal points appear randomly on homologous chromosomes, hence amount of genetic material exchanged in every case/cell could be different.
