Photophosphorylation is a process that occurs during photosynthesis in plants. It is the conversion of ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) into ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) using light energy. ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the energy currency of life of all living organisms. Without ATP, cells will not be able to perform their proper functions.
<span>
Through the process of phosphorylation, light energy is used to create electron donors and electron acceptors that move spontaneously through the process of electron transport chains. </span>
Answer:
Adaptive radiation
Explanation:
Adaptive radiation occurs when an ancestral species move to a new environment that has various resources that are necessary for survival and also has environmental conditions that would ensure its offspring adapt well over time. In this new environment, the ancestral species would produce offspring with different traits and behaviors that will allow them to survive in this new environment while occupying their various niches. Over a relatively short time, different species arising from the common ancestor would occupy the new environment.
Answer:
Primary active transport
Explanation:
Primary active transport is the transport in which molecules are moved against their gradient, with direct use of ATP as an energy source. Na/K pump is an example of primary active transport: Na ions are transported out of cell, K ions are moved into the cell. This pumps maintain concentrations of those ions and also creates voltage across the cell membrane, which can be used for the secondary active transport of other molecules (e.g. glucose).
Correct answer: Option D- DNA ligase
Explanation: In option A, thymine is a nucleotide, so it is present throughout the replication process, wherever it is required. It is added to the newly formed DNA. In option B, Helicase enzyme is active during initiation and elongation stage, as it facilitates the opening of the winded DNA strands. Option C is nucleotidase and it has no role in DNA replication. So, the correct answer is DNA ligase, which is option D.
The okazaki fragments formed during DNA replication are sealed at the end. And in this step, DNA ligase is used. It catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bond between the nucleotides of okazaki fragments. So it is the last active molecule of the process.
<span>"D.how living things are interconnected with their environment</span>" is the correct answer. Ecology has to do with systems of environments as a whole, and the organisms that live there.
