The rate of O₂ production by the light reactions varies with the intensity of light because light is required as the energy sour
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

No, the light-dependent reactions doesn´t depend on the Calvin Cycle

Explanation:

While the Calvin cycle produces ADP and NADP+, both of which are photophosphorylated by the light-dependent reactions, there is another carbon cycle, called PHOTORESPIRATION, in which the enzyme RuBisCO (RuBP oxygenase-carboxylase), OXYGENATES RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate), instead of the CARBOXYLATION OF RuBP (the normal Calvin Cycle), releasing 3CO2 and spending ATP and NADPH (produced by the light-dependent reactions), thus, providing the ADP and NADP+ photophosphorylated by the light-dependent reactions.

PHOTORESPIRATION results in a NET LOSS of fixated carbon, and is activated by certain conditions like HIGH TEMPERATURE and LOWER CO2 AVAILABILITY (due to CLOSED STOMATA as a response to droughts). However, the main functions of this system are not clear. It may be involved in nitrate assimilation, free radicals regulation, plant growth, homeostasis of plant cells, among others.

23. A dog breeder can determine that the sudden
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

(4) is bred and the trait is capable of being  inherited

Explanation:

<u>Mutation generally refers to a sudden change to the DNA sequence in the genome of an organism.</u>

Since, DNA is the molecules responsible for heredity and the inheritance of traits by offspring from their parents, a mutation should be inheritable.

<em>Hence, if a sudden appearance of hairlessness in one of the puppies is observed by a dog breeder, he/she can effectively conclude that the situation is caused by a mutation if the affected dog is bred with another dog and the hairlessness is observed in any of the resulting progeny.</em>

Option 4 is the correct option.
