Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use the sunlight as a form of energy by converting carbon dioxide to make organic compounds that are necessary for growth.

In the first two stages of photosynthesis, the enzymes of the light-dependent reactions are activated by light and oxidation occurs, yielding oxygen gas and hydrogen ions. The hydrogen ions are used in the electron transport chain and are passed through the thylakoid. The electron transport chain results in the catalyzed reaction of adenosine diphosphate, or ADP, to adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which is a source of chemical energy.

Later on in the Calvin cycle, the enzymes are important for the production of a three-carbon sugar, then a six-carbon sugar. There are three phases of the cycle that are powered by ATP and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, or NADPH. Being that the Calvin cycle is a metabolic pathway, the carbon compounds produced in the cycle are an important energy source that are used to make organic compounds used by the autotroph.

Provide an example of how cells balance the redox potential between different cellular components?

En la respiración celular, la célula depende totalmente de las reacciones Redox, para ser precisos de la reducción del NAD a NADH y la oxidación de NADH a NAD.

Ahora veamos una situación diferente.

En la fotosíntesis, ocurre la reacción inversa de redox, como se muestra en la siguiente ecuación:

6CO2 + 6H2O + E --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

La energía biológica se almacena y se lanza con la frecuencia por medio de reacciones redox. La fotosíntesis implica la reducción del CO2 en azucares y la oxidación del H2O en oxigeno molecular (O2), mientras que en la respiración es lo inverso, la oxidación de azucares a CO2 y H2O.

Entre los pasos redox de la fotosíntesis, compuestos deducidos del CO2 reducen el NAD lo que crea entonces, la creación gradiente de protones, que conduce a la síntesis del ATP y es mantenida por la oxidación del O2.

En los seres vivos, el término redox se utiliza para describir el equilibrio NAD-NADH y NADP-NADPH.

El estado redox contribuye al equilibrio de los sistemas metabólicos. En el caso de alteraciones en las reacciones redox, puede producirse HIPOXIA, que es el déficit del O2 en la sangre, CHOQUE, que es el mal circulamiento de lal sangre y la SEPSIS.

Why are septic tanks and oxidation ponds not feasible for large municipalities?
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

Septic tanks and oxidation ponds

Explanation:

These system of wastewater treatment and disposal are not too feasible in large municipalities because of the presence of sewer system that has been made available by government, in order to mitigate the possibilities of transmitting enteric diseases that are very harmful to human health.
