Answer:

A) Both reactions rely on chemical energy.

Explanation:

The light-dependent phase of photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts' tilacoid membrane, the capture of light energy and the transformation into chemical energy. In this process, the green pigment molecules go into an excited state, emitting part of the absorbed energy. These pigments are organized into two photosystems (I and II), which can be defined as light capture units present in thylacoids.

In this phase, light energy is absorbed by pigments in photosystem II and transferred to chlorophyll molecules in the reaction center. The energized electrons are transferred to an electron receiver. According to the transfer of these electrons, they are replaced by others from water photolysis. Here, too, oxygen is produced.

Some pairs of electrons pass to photosystem I stimulating ATP synthesis. The energy absorbed at that moment stimulates the chlorophyll molecules of the reaction center of this photosystem, and the energized electrons are accepted by a NADP + molecule. The electrons removed from chlorophyll are replaced by others from photosystem II.

The independent light phase occurs in the chloroplast stroma and also depends on the chemical energy. It starts with the process of fixing carbon in an organic compound. In this stage, the molecules of NADPH and ATP produced in the light phase are used for the production of sugars from the reduction of the fixed carbon. The reactions that occur here are called Calvin Cycle and, in the process, most of the fixed carbon is converted into sucrose or starch.

What happens during the lytic cycle?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

In the lytic  cycle, a virus that has invaded and  entered a  cell takes over the cell's replication mechanism. The virus makes viral DNA and viral proteins.

The virus then lyses (breaks open) the cell membrane, allowing the newly  produced viruses to leave the now disintergrated host cell to infect  other new cells.

The lytic cycle is considered  the main method of viral replication. It is even more common than the lysogenic cycle. It has helped scientists understand better how the immune system responds  to pathogens.

Which one of the following populations begins the flow of energy through the food web?
vladimir1956 [14]
If the web happened to look like this one I attached then the anwser would be shrubs. If you take a look at the arrows the shrubs energy is moving to rats, insects and lizards which in turn feeds the coyotes. The starting point is shrubs and in general most food webs start with plants.
