All the mentioned drugs are mood-stabilizing drugs.

A mood stabilizer refers to a psychiatric pharmaceutical drug used in the treatment of mood disorders featured by sustained and intense mood shifts, usually borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder type I or type II, and schizoaffective disorder.

The term mood stabilizer does not illustrate a mechanism, however, an effect. More accurate terminology is used to categorize these agents.

The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin cycle, use and produce a variety of molecules. Sort

Margaret [11]

Molecules brought in and used in the calvin cycle - Carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ , Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP)

Molecules produced during the calvin cycle that leave the cycle - a few of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), NADP+

Molecules used and regenerated within the calvin cycle - most of the Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) , NADPH

<u>Explanation:</u>

Calvin cycle is the light independent reaction that takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH produced during the light reaction. Calvin cycle occurs in 3 steps, they are:

1. Carbon fixation - $(CO_2)$ combines with Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) to form 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA).

2. Reduction - ATP and NADPH is used to convert 3-PGA into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P).

3. Regeneration - some G3P molecule form glucose while other regenerates to form RuBP acceptor.

Movement of individuals into or out of the population, called gene flow, impacts evolution of populations because:_________.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

c. it leads to a redistribution of alleles

Explanation:

The gene flow can be defined as the movement of genetic material from one population to another within the same species. This movement may be associated 1-with the migration of individuals and subsequent reproduction of these organisms in the new population or 2-with the movement of gametes (eg., pollen dispersal) among populations. In both cases, gene flow is known to alter the frequency of particular alleles between populations and consequently also modify the evolutionary patterns of these populations.
