Photosynthesis would stop

NADP+ is important in photosynthesis because they are significant in both light and dark phases of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

IN the light stage, NADP+ is the ultimate electron acceptor as high energy electrons are passed down a protein chain, from the reactive center of photosystems, as their energy is harnessed to create a proton motive force across the lamellae membrane. NADP+ is ultimately reduced to NADPH. Without NADP+, the electron transport chain would cease.

NADPH, on the other hand, is used to reduce carbon dioxide to glucose in the Calvin cycle. NADPH is oxidized to NADP+ which is recycled back to the light stage of photosynthesis.

Which RNA molecule is involved in translating a short sequence of RNA into an amino acid, acting like a molecular Rosetta stone?

oee [108]

Given what we know about the translation process, we can confirm that the RNA in question that aids in the process of translating a short sequence of RNA into an amino acid is mRNA.

mRNA is referred to as messenger RNA. This RNA molecule acts as just that, a messenger carrying the necessary code to create amino acids and therefore, proteins. This messenger binds itself to the ribosomes of a cell, which are in charge of reading the code, one codon at a time, and chaining together the corresponding amino acids.

Describe the chemical make up and type of bonding found in water molecules?

andre [41]

Water molecules consist of 2 Hydrogen and 1 Oxygen atom. They are bonded by a polar covalent bond, meaning the electrons shared by the covalanet bonds are not evenly distributed. Oxygen is more electronegative than Hydrogen and will pull the electrons from its bonds with Hydrogen closer to itself. Thus results in a partial positive dipole on the Hydrogen of the water molecule and a partial negative dipole on the Oxygen of the water molecule. These partial charges allow water to hydrogen bond with one another through a process called cohesion.
