Explanation:

D) oxygen as a product of the process of photosynthesis

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.

Further Explanation:

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 begins 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.

Particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent.

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

or Carbon dioxide + water = energy (glucose) + oxygen

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.

Respiration and photorespiration both utilize oxygen for;

the production of ATP via the oxidization of pyruvate;
and the oxygenation of the molecule Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), an organic molecule also used in photosynthesis, to form 3-PGA + phosphoglycolic acid,

DNA contains the code for constructing which molecules?

mixas84 [53]

The answer is proteins.

The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. The genes in DNA encode protein molecules, which are the "workhorses" of the cell, carrying out all the functions necessary for life.

Answer: The tension is relieved by an enzyme named topoisomerase

Explanation:

As replication starts DNA polymerase needs to move forward of double strand DNA, this creates a lot of tension in the DNA molecule. The tension is relieved by the action of an enzyme named topoisomerase. The stress relieve is needed for the progresion of the replication mechanism.

There are to types of topoisomerases:

a) Topoisomerase I

b) Topoisomerase II

Topoisomerase I underwinds the DNA double helix by making a single cut in one of the strands of the DNA molecule. Once the cut is made, the DNA unwinds and torsional stress is released. Finally the DNA strand , that was cut is ligated ( see attached image)

Topoisomerase II acts when torsional stress is made because two DNA strands cross each other (superhelical stress). Topoisomerase II cuts both strands of a DNA molecule. After this cut is made the DNA unwinds and torsiona stress is relieved ). Finally both DNA strands are ligated ) see attached image)

Topoisomerases II enzymes require ATP hydrolysis to perform the cut of both of the DNA strands.
