Receptor specificity Physical energy such as light, sound, and heat is detected by specialized receptor cells in the sense organs—eyes, ears, skin, nose, and tongue. When the action potential that relays information about the stimulus through the nervous system to the brain. Sensory receptors take in information from the environment, creating local electrical currents; These currents are graded.

Which parts of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of the grana?.

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Each stack is called a granum (the plural is grana) which is suspended in a fluid called stroma. The light-dependent reactions occur in the grana; the light-independent reactions take place in the stroma of the chloroplasts.

If you want to selectively label RNA being synthesized by cells(and not DNA) what radioactive compound would you add to the medi

romanna [79]

The right answer is E.

Uracil is a nitrogenous base (pyrimidine) specific for RNA. The nucleoide of uracil is called uridine and nucleotide is called uridine monophosphate or uridylate. In the DNA, there is thymine instead of uracil.

So if we mark the uracils, only the RNA will be marked. The DNA will not be given that there is no uracil in it.
