Scientists originally thought cell membranes evolved before RNA. However, recent evidence suggests RNA developed before the memb

ranes that envelop it. Explain why this is logical in light of the composition and function of both RNA and membranes.

Answer:

The need for replication, specialization, compartmentalization is key to understand that RNA evolved first

Explanation:

Logical contrast considering a certain catalytic activities of cardinal importance in the early evolution of life ;

• using an RNA molecule that is involved in to catalyzing the process of templated polymerization –selecting a random RNA molecule as a template.

• the ribozyme activity in this process must have engaged an in vitro process in a body part that no longer has a function such that it that can only synthesize moderate lengths of RNA

• when this molecules acts on the copies of itself can replicate

• when it acts on copies of other type of RNA molecules in its surrounding he can promote their replication

• a cooperative system might have evolved from the neighbors to help the survival of this friendly RNA molecules – through catalytic actions, such that a set of different types of RNA molecules evolves with a mark of specialization for different activity.

The development of individual compartments is proposed to be akin to the effective self-replicating systems.

• If RNA molecules are mutually beneficial they may serve the purposes of being specialized for templated polymerization.

• If these RNAs were free to diffuse among a large population of other RNA molecules, they could be assimilated into an established group by other replicating systems, which in turn may compete with the original RNA system for raw materials.

• The quality of the self-replicating systems they generated relies on the compartment that restricts the RNA molecules only to the system they serve.

• compartments started simply and perhaps had simple adsorption on surfaces or simple particles.

• compartmentalization became complex requiring a class of small molecules with varying physicochemical properties liike being amphipathic.

• This gave rise to the phospholipids mainly and the present-day cells often are coated by a plasma membrane consisting of amphipathic molecules in this configuration.

What are some of the functions of photosystem i and photosystem ii in plants?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Photosystem I (PS-I )and photosystem II (PS-II ) are two multi-protein complexes. These complexes contain the pigments used to absorb, harvest and catalyze the photons and light energy in the photosynthetic reactions. The main purpose of photosynthesis reactions to produce high chemical energy compounds.

Photosystem I and II are different from each other because of their absorbing wavelength of light. PS-I absorbs the longer wavelength of light than PS-II.

PS-I plays the major role in the production of high energy carriers ATP and NADPH using light energy (700 nm).

PS-II plays its function in the hydrolysis of water and ATP synthesis using light energy (680 nm).
