As a research scientist, you measure the amount of ATP and NADPH consumed by the Calvin cycle in one hour. You find that 30,000

molecules of ATP were consumed, but only 20,000 molecules of NADPH were consumed. What is the source of the extra ATP molecules?

Answer:

Cyclic electron flow

Explanation:

Cyclic Photophosphorylation

The electrons released by P700 of PS-I in the presence of light are taken up by the primary acceptor and are then passed on to ferredoxin (Fd), plastoquinone (PQ), cytochrome complex, plastocyanin (PC) and finally back to P700 i.e., electrons come back to the same molecule after cyclic movement. The cyclic photophosphorylation also results in the formation of ATP molecules just like in non - cyclic photo phosphorylation. As the electrons move downhill in the electron transport chain, they lose potential energy and ATP molecules are formed in the same way as in mitochondria during respiration. During cyclic photophosphorylation, electrons from photosystem - I are not passed to NADP from the electron acceptor. Instead the electrons are transferred back to P700. This downhill movement of electrons from an electron acceptor to P700 results in the formation of ATP and this is termed as cyclic photophosphorylation. It is very important to note that oxygen and NADPH2 are not formed during cycle photophosphorylation.

It is thought that cyclic photo-phosphorylation is a source of ATP required for chloroplast activities over and above that required in the carbon reduction cycle. since the non cyclic  photo-phosphorylation result in the production of ATP and NADPH,whereas cyclic photo-phosphorylation does no generate  NADPH, switching between cyclic and non cyclic photo-phosphorylation also represents a mechanism by which chloroplast can regulate the stromal ATP/NADPH ratios, which is important in the maintenance of chloroplast metabolic activity

In contrast, ATP is used to </span>store smaller amounts of energy that will be used in the next few seconds.<span>
A glucose molecule can store more than 90 times the energy of a ATP molecules.

Why a genetic bottleneck can be an important evolutionary factor for a species
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Genetic drift decreases genetic diversity within a population.

Explanation:

Genetic drift decreases genetic diversity within a population. It is a change in allele frequencies due entirely to random chance and is more likely to affect smaller populations than large ones. Population bottlenecks can lead to genetic drift.

What is beach reclamation? How is it being done to preserve Georgia's beaches?
katovenus [111]
For this situation, shoreline recovery is when sand is added to the shorelines to avoid disintegration. So in shorelines in Georgia, they are adding sand to the shorelines and it is in certainly making a difference. I hope the answer will help you.
