Answer:

Cytochromes may be defined as the  the proteins that are required for the process of electron transport chain. These cytochromes molecules helps the oxidation, reduction and transfer of electrons during the electron transport chain.

Aerobic organisms has nearly equal identical structure in all organism. All organism that contains cytochromes has heme as a cofactor. Ring system of cytochrome is present with iron as the main element in almost all organism. These cytochromes shows the conserved sequences that are common to almost all the organism that contain cytochrome molecule.

Cytochromes:- They are iron containing hemoproteins that serve many cellular functions including energy production, steroid biosynthesis, and degradation of toxins.

Cytochromes occur in all organisms except a few obligate anaerobes. They are structurally similar among organisms. These are proteins to which one to two tetrapyrrole rings are bound. These tetrapyrroles are very similar to the chromophores of chlorophylls in plants. However, chlorophylls(in plants) contain Mg++ as the central atom in the tetrapyrrole, whereas the cytochromes(in aerobic animals) have an iron atom (Figure).

The large central vacuole would become dehydrated, because without enough water stored in it, there wouldn't be any turgor pressure (water pushing against the cell wall) to support the cell, which causes the plant to wilt.

Which events take place in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
Alinara [238K]
There are four major protein complexes in the thylakoid membrane: Photosystem II (PSII), Cytochrome b6f complex, Photosystem I (PSI), and ATP synthase. These four complexes work together to ultimately create the products ATP and NADPH.

Compare the processes of mitosis and meiosis by explaining the number of cells formed in each process, Number of chromosomes in
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

1) In mitosis, a single cell is divided into two daughter cells while in meiosis a single cell is divided into four daughter cells.

2) Mitosis occurs in body cells in which sperm and egg cells combine and make a diploid zygote while meiosis are present in sex cells in which haploid cells are produced.

3) In mitosis, the number of chromosome is double i. e. Diploid while in meiosis the number of chromosome is half i. e. haploid.

How can histograms help you describe a population? Use the word bank above to help you explain your answer.
krek1111 [17]

Answer: It shows the distribution of the population with respect to a characteristic, quantitative and continuous, such as the weight or height of a population. It is used to determine the degree of homogeneity of the values studied, or to see the degree of variability, and therefore, the dispersion of all the values taken by the parts.

Explanation:

A histogram is a graphical representation of a variable using bars. In such a bar, <u>its area is proportional to the frequency of the values represented</u>. Thus, it shows the distribution of the population, or of the sample, with respect to a characteristic, quantitative and continuous, such as the weight or height of a population. It is used to determine the degree of homogeneity of the values studied, or to see the degree of variability, and therefore, the dispersion of all the values taken by the parts.

In order to construct a histogram first we need to have a frequency table with all the information. On the abscissa axis (horizontal axis) the intervals are placed from smallest to largest.  On the ordinate axis (vertical axis), the absolute frequencies of each of the intervals are represented.  Then, the rectangular bars of equal width are drawn, and the height represents the absolute frequency. All bars touch the bars next to each other, unless an interval has zero frequency (the height of the bar will also be zero).

<u>Thus, histograms are used to describe populations since they represent a variable and in what proportion of the population it is found.</u>
