<span>While alien genomes may be constructed by completely different molecules (for example, silicon based life forms are a possibility rather than carbon) it is logical to assume that all life forms would have some sort of protective mechanism to prevent the degradation of DNA during replication. Essentially, to prevent mutations and rapid aging, DNA, alien or otherwise, would have some types of telomeres. They might either be long chains of repeated or irrelevant code or molecules that would not be easily corrupted.</span>

densk [106]

Answer:

The cytochrome b6f is a large multi-subunit protein, which accepts electrons from the plastohydroquinone.

One electron moves linearly toward plastocyanin while the other goes through a cyclic process, which effectively pumps more protons into the thylakoid lumen.

Explanation:

The cytochrome b6f is distributed among both grana and stroma thylakoids equally. They are usually large and embedded in the membrane.

3. Explain the difference between the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Goshia [24]

Global warming is a long-term rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system. And the greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without its atmosphere.
