Answer:
A. Water molecules are split.
Explanation:
The light dependent reactions of photosynthesis require the energy in sunlight to proceed. Structures called photosystems which contain chlorophyll absorb the light from the sun to generate excited electrons, which are transferred to electron carriers ATP and NADH.
These electron carriers are used in the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.
During this process, the high energy electrons are passed to an acceptor molecule and replaced with an electron from water. This splitting of water produces H+ ions and oxygen as a byproduct. The splitting of water is called photolysis
Answer:
a.Many mitochondrial genes resemble proteobacteria genes, while the genes in the chloroplast resemble genes found in some photosynthetic bacteria.
c.Mitochondria and chloroplasts both have their own circular DNA and 70S ribosomes that are similar to those found in bacteria.
d.Mitochondria and chloroplasts replicate by a process similar to mitosis.
Explanation:
Endosymbiotic theory states that mitochondria and chloroplast which are organelles of eukaryotic cells were once independently living micro-organisms but with due course of time eukaryotic cells engulfed them and they become an integral part of these eukaryotic cells.
The resemblance between mitochondrial genes with those of proteobacteria and chloroplast genes with photosynthetic bacteria strongly support endosymbiotic theory. Apart from this, the presence of their own DNA that too circular just like prokaryotic microbes and 70 S ribosomes also support this theory. Also just like prokaryotic cells, before cell division mitochondria and chloroplasts undergo replication by means of a process known as binary fission.
The primary organ of digestion and absorption is the intestines.
