The oncogenesis process is caused by these mutations in the genetic material of normal cells, which alter the normal balance between proliferation and cell death. As a result there is an uncontrolled cell division and an evolutionary process of these cells through natural selection within the organism. Rapid and uncontrolled reproduction of cells can produce benign tumors and some types of these tumors can become malignant, which is what is known as cancer. Benign tumors do not spread to distant parts of the body or invade other tissues, and usually do not pose a threat to life unless they compress vital structures or have some physiological activity (for example, that they are capable of producing a hormone) . Malignant tumors are able to invade other organs, spread to distant places (a process known as metastasis) and become a threat to life.

Chlorophyll molecules donate electrons to an electron acceptor ____. See Section 10.2 (Page 214) . View Available Hint(s) Chloro
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Chlorophyll molecules donate electrons to an electron acceptor in the reaction center.

Explanation:

Light reaction of photosynthesis takes place in the reaction centre. Light reaction may comprises of several proteins such as pheophytin, chlorophyll and quinones which act as light absorbing molecules.

The light reaction is the core of photosynthesis that produces ATP and NADPH to carry out the dark reaction for the production of high energy carbon molecules. During light reaction light photons are captured by photosystems such as photosystem I and II of chlorophyll in green plants. This photon cause the excitation of electron that flows through the electron transport chain from higher potential to lower potential and energy released by it is utilized for creating the gradient potential of H+ ions across the membrane. This gradient potential difference of H+ ions is used for the production of ATP through ATP synthase complex.

So chlorophyll molecules donate electrons to electron acceptors through the excitation of electrons from light photons in the reaction center.
