The rate of O₂ production by the light reactions varies with the intensity of light because light is required as the energy sour

ce for O₂ formation. Thus, lower light levels generally mean a lower rate of O₂ production. In addition, lower light levels also affect the rate of CO₂ uptake by the Calvin cycle. This is because the Calvin cycle needs the ATP and NADPH produced by the light reactions. In this way, the Calvin cycle depends on the light reactions. But is the inverse true as well? Do the light reactions depend on the Calvin cycle?

Answer:

No, the light-dependent reactions doesn´t depend on the Calvin Cycle

Explanation:

While the Calvin cycle produces ADP and NADP+, both of which are photophosphorylated by the light-dependent reactions, there is another carbon cycle, called PHOTORESPIRATION, in which the enzyme RuBisCO (RuBP oxygenase-carboxylase), OXYGENATES RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate), instead of the CARBOXYLATION OF RuBP (the normal Calvin Cycle), releasing 3CO2 and spending ATP and NADPH (produced by the light-dependent reactions), thus, providing the ADP and NADP+ photophosphorylated by the light-dependent reactions.

PHOTORESPIRATION results in a NET LOSS of fixated carbon, and is activated by certain conditions like HIGH TEMPERATURE and LOWER CO2 AVAILABILITY (due to CLOSED STOMATA as a response to droughts). However, the main functions of this system are not clear. It may be involved in nitrate assimilation, free radicals regulation, plant growth, homeostasis of plant cells, among others.

When individuals experience fear and pleasure, what part of the brain has been stimulated?
Nataliya [291]

The limbic system of the brain gets stimulated when an individual experiences fear and pleasure.

The limbic system is a part of our brain which is responsible for the regulation of our emotional and behavioral responses, especially the ones we need for our survival. The structures of the limbic system are embedded deep in the brain. The two major structures of the limbic system include the hippocampus and the amygdala. The hippocampus helps us associate emotions and senses with different memories. The amygdala plays a pivotal role in managing our strong emotions like aggression, fear and pleasure. It also helps us in making new memories.

In the 18th century, Carl Linnaeus published a system for classifying living things, which has been developed into the modern
Mazyrski [523]

Cavalier-Smith's model no longer separates prokaryotes and eukaryotes is the statement which differs from kingdom classification.

Explanation:

Cavalier-Smith in 1998 had reduced the kingdom numbers. The were brought down from 8 to 6. These are:

Animalia

Protozoa

fungi

plantae

chromista

bacteria

He divided eukaryotes into 6 kingdoms.  The kingdoms are refined for better classification.

While Carolus Linnaeus divided the organisms into two kingdoms

Animalia and plantae.

The five kingdom classification:

Monera (prpkaryotes)

Protista  ( unicellular eukaryotes)

fungi (multicellular decomposers)

plantae (multicellular producers)

Animalia (multicellular consumers)

It has drawbacks like in kingdom monera both autotrophs and heterotrophs  are included. Phylogeny is not explained in lower organisms of monera and protista. Virus is also in classification. Cavalier-Smith introduced a new kingdom called chromista which are single- celled or multicellular eukaryotic organisms as diatoms, algae, oomycetes and protozoans which perform photosynthesis.
