fenix001 [56]

Answer:

A = Activator

B = Effector

Explanation:

An activator is a protein which typically binds to a short (50–1500 bp) region of DNA which might be located either upstream (mainly) or downstream of a gene so as to cause increased transcription. This particular region of DNA is known as enhancer and activator is also  known as transcription factor. Activator is a trans-acting factor which binds to the cis-acting factor which is enhancer so as to enhance transcriptional expression.

But another protein named as effector may restrict activator from binding to the enhancer leading to a decrease in transcriptional expression by binding to the activator allosterically. Allosteric binding of effector to the activator causes conformational change in activator so it can no longer bind the enhancer.

<span>How are the dark reactions that occur in plants dependent on the light reactions?
a.The chemical energy used in the dark reactions is produced in the light reactions.

Photosynthesis is divided into two parts.
1) Light - dependent reaction
2) Light - independent reaction

Light dependent reaction absorb energy from the sun to produce ATP and NADPH, these energies are used in the light-independent reaction. The ATP provides the energy, while the NADPH provides the electrons required to fix the carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.
