The Calvin cycle is considered light-independent because it can occur in darkness. However, most often the Calvin cycle takes pl

ace in sunlight.
Which of the following likely explains why?
A) The enzymes involved in the Calvin cycle are unable to bind substrates in the dark.
B) Sunlight is important in activating carbon fixation in the Calvin cycle
C) The Calvin cycle requires ATP and NADPH, which require sunlight to be produced
D) RußP regeneration requires sunlight in order to occur and continue the Calvin cycle.

Answer:

C) The Calvin cycle requires ATP and NADPH, which require sunlight to be produced

Explanation:

The light-dependent phase of photosynthesis includes the photolysis of water molecules. The released electrons are passed to PSII to PSI via electron carriers and finally to NADP+ to reduce it into NADPH.

Transfer of electrons via electron carriers also generates the proton concentration gradient which in turn drives ATP synthesis. ATP and NADPH formed during light reactions are used in the Calvin cycle as an energy source and electron donor respectively.

Hence, to continue, the Calvin cycle requires the synthesis of ATP and NADPH in the presence of light.

Mechanical stress applied to bone __________ osteoblast activity in bone tissue, and the removal of mechanical stress __________
iren2701 [21]

Mechanical stress applied to bone increases osteoblast activity in bone tissue, and the removal of mechanical stress decreases osteoblast activity.

Explanation:

Osteoblasts are cells , that are produced in the bone marrow and are responsible for formation of bones and bone matrix.

Whenever a mechanical stress is applied on the bones , a series of reactions are triggered. As a result the activities of osteoblast increases to synthesize more and more bone matrix to provide strength.

Again on the other hand a decrease in mechanical causes a decrease in the activities of the osteoblasts.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

C. About 18 percent of the variation in blood pressure can be explained by a linear relationship between blood pressure and caffeine consumed.

Explanation:

Here, r = 0.428

∴ We can say it will give a positive curve, as 0.428 indicates it is a positive correlation.

Though the amount of correlation is low, still it is positive and more than 0.4

So, nearly about 18% of the variation in the blood pressure can be observed by the consumption of caffeine water. As consumption of caffeine water and blood pressure is both increasing so we can say that r= 0.428 will give a positive linear curve.
