What causes cation channels in the photoreceptor cells to close during the light phase of phototransduction?

Biology
1 answer:
Andrew [12]4 years ago

Answer:

In the cone pathway glutamate: ... Glutamate that is released from the photoreceptors in the dark binds to metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR6), which, through a G-protein coupling mechanism, causes non-specific cation channels in the cells to close, thus hyperpolarizing the bipolar cell.

ankoles [38]

Answer:

A) photorespiration.

Explanation:

Photorespiration is the harmful metabolic process which takes place when the concentration of oxygen in the leaf increases compared to carbon dioxide.

The RUBISCO enzyme which usually binds the carbon dioxide now binds the oxygen and form the phosphoglycolate and 3 phosphoglycerate. The phosphoglycolate is lost through the Calvin cycle as Carbon dioxide molecule. This loss proves harmful to the plants.

The photorespiration occurs when the plant faces high temperature therefore n order to prevent water loss the stomata gets closed. This result in the binding of the oxygen to the RUBISCO and thus photorespiration begins.

Thus, Option-A is correct.

How do mutated tumor suppressor genes affect the cell cycle?
Marrrta [24]
Tumor suppressor genes encode for proteins that inhibit or slow the progression of the cell cycle through a specific stage.they also encode for check point control proteins that arrests the cell cycle if the DNA is damaged or the chromosomes are abnormal. Mutation in the tumor suppressor genes that cause a loss or decreased function would lead to uncontrolled cell cycle leading to abnormal proliferation and the cell may become cancerous.
