The Calvin cycle functions to make organic molecules using CO2 as a source of carbon. What is the source of electrons that helps

reduce CO2 to sugars and other organic molecules
Biology
1 answer:
MAXImum [283]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

NADPH

Explanation:

Calvin cycle is also known as a light-independent reaction, this reaction takes place in the Stroma, and it does not require direct light. Instead of this, the Calvin cycle uses NADPH and ATP from the light-dependent cycle to reduce CO2 and produce a 3carbon sugar molecule (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate), or G3P molecule, they join up to form a glucose molecule.

The light-dependent reaction absorbs the light energy and stores it temporarily in the form of NADPH and ATP. Then ATP is broken down for the release of energy and NADPH donates its electron to reduce CO2 into sugars and other organic molecules.

So, as you know, when a sperm cells (Male sex cell) meets the Egg cell (Female Sex Cell) it forms something called a zygote. And from that point on, the egg cell reproduces more and more (making more cells) in a type of cell called a stem cell, which can be used for anything the body needs. The newborn babies keep these cells up until birth or the incubation (growth of the baby in the mother's uterus), and then they are ready to be born.

Can a tornado pick up a person and send it to another island?
____ [38]

Answer: almost imposiable

Explanation: If you do happen to get picked up a tornado the longest time you will stay in it is approximately 5 minutes before it throws you out of it. If you did so happen to be swept in a tornado near a island it is possiable, but tornados over water die very very fast so this is very unlikley.

How much work is done on a 100-N boulder when you lift it 2m straight up?
zzz [600]

200J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Force on boulder = 100N

Distance moved = 2m

Unknown:

Work done = ?

Solution:

Work done on a body is the force applied to move such body in the direction of the force.

           Work done = force x distance

Input the parameters in the equation:

       Work done = 100 x 2 = 200Nm or 200J

The work done in lifting the boulder is 200J

In chloroplasts, when the two photosystems work in series, electrons ejected from the photosystems do not return to them, which
cricket20 [7]

When electrons do not return to the photosystems, it is because of a process known as oxygenic photophosphorylation, a process that is key to photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants get their energy. This process involves many steps taken in order to turn energy from light, into sugar and molecular energy known as ATP, needed for plants to survive. This process uses a variety of important and complex steps, among which is included oxygenic photophosphorylation.

Oxygenic photophosphorylation is one of the key processes to photosynthesis. It involves the use of photosystems <u>one </u>and <u>three</u>, located in the thylakoid membrane of plant cells, in order to produce NADPH and ATP. These systems enter a state of photoactivation, releasing an electron to be carried by the NADPH molecule towards the Calvin cycle where the electron can be placed onto a carbon atom, for long-term storage, often as a carbohydrate.

What might happen within an ecosystem if the snake population runs out of small animals to eat such as mice or rabbits?
ozzi
If the snake population runs out of small animals to eat such as mice or rabbits then the snakes would starve and die unless they could move to another habitat. All of the other animals in the food web would also die due to their lack of food supplies. The populations of the consumers would fall as the population of the producer fell.
