The question is incomplete, so the complete question is as follows:

A chloroplast has stopped producing ATP and NADPH. Which of the following is most likely causing this?

a.The chloroplast has used up its supply of chlorophyll molecules.

b.Electrons have stopped moving through the electron transport chain.

c.The sun has risen and the chloroplast now can make more chlorophyll.

Answer:

b.Electrons have stopped moving through the electron transport chain.

Explanation:

ATP and NADPH are produced in the light dependent reaction stage of the photosynthesis that occurs within chloroplast grana.

ATP and NADPH are produced due to the movement of electron and proton (H+) in the electron transport chain, so if the movement of electrons will stopped in the electron transport chain, the formation of ATP and NADPH will also get stop.

Hence, the correct answer is "b".

Answer:

Be outcasted.

Explanation:

It might be outcasted because zebras find other zebras by their stripes. If one doesn't have black stripes the zebras wouldn't be able to identify it. (I think)

mariarad [96]

Answer:

I'm presuming you mean the three different subcatagories or taxa as there around 25/26 mammalian orders. The three taxa are - Prototheria or Monotreme = Mammals that lay eggs Metatheria Marsupial = Mammals with external development pouches.

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Archaeologist.

Explanation:

I believe this is the only on of the four that deals with post-mortem study of bones, other than a forensic odontologist, who studies teeth and bitemarks, but not bones in general.

The number of cells in an average-sized adult human is on the order of 10^14 cells. Use this information, and the estimate that

KengaRu [80]

IF:
Number of cells: $C = 10^{14}$
DNA lenght: $D = 2m = 12.42 * 10^{-4} mi$
Distance from Earth to Sun: $ES=93000000 mi = 9.3* 10^{7}mi$

Then:
a) Over how many miles would the total DNA from the average human stretch?
The answer is product of multiplication of the number of cells (C) and the DNA length (D):
Total DNA: $T = C*D$
⇒ $T = 10^{14}*12.42* 10^{-4} mi$
⇒ $T = 12.42* 10^{14-4} mi$
⇒ $T = 12.42* 10^{10} mi$
The total DNA from the average human will stretch $12.42* 10^{10} mi$

b) How many times would the total DNA from the average human stretch from Earth to the Sun and back?
The answer is concluded from the ratio of the total DNA length (T) and the twice (because of stretch to the Sun and back, thus, two directions) of distance from Earth to the Sun (ES) and :
Ratio: $R= \frac{T}{2*ES}$
⇒ $R = \frac{12.42* 10^{10}mi }{2*(9.3* 10^{7}mi)}$
⇒ $R = \frac{12.42* 10^{10}}{18.6*10^{7}}$
⇒ $R = 0.6677* 10^{10-7}$
 ⇒ $R = 0.6677* 10^{3}$
 ⇒ [tex]R = 667.7
Thus, 667,7 times will the total DNA from the average human stretch from Earth to the Sun and back.
