Does photosynthesis and cellular respiration need enzymes? Why?

1 answer:

7 0

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.

Is simple diffusion a form of passive transport

Viktor [21]

Passive Transport: Simple Diffusion. Diffusion across a cell membrane is a type of passive transport, or transport across the cell membrane that does not require energy. ... Molecules that are hydrophobic, just like the hydrophobic region, can pass through the cell membrane by simple diffusion.

Name the organs forming the male duct system as listed from the male gonad to the body exterior

Arte-miy333 [17]

The organs forming the male duct system as listed from the male gonad to the body exterior are;
Epididymis = Vas deferens = Urethra
Epididymis is a tube located at the back of the testicles that stores and carries sperm. Vas deferens transports sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory ducts in anticipation of ejaculation. The urethra carries urine from the bladder to outside of the body. Additionally, it has function of ejaculating semen when the man reaches orgasm.
