<span>The secretion of excess mucous in the digestive tract may result in loose stools or diarrhea. The purpose of the excess secretions is to lubricate the digestive tract so that food can pass through during digestion with greater ease. The secretion of excess mucous in the respiratory passageway could result in increased coughing as the body attempts to expel the mucous (and the offending irritants) from the lungs and bronchial tubes. This occurs when either physical debris (such as inhaled dust or dirt particles) or pathogens (such as bacteria and viruses) have entered the respiratory passageway and the body attempts to remove them; an example is the common cold.</span>

densk [106]

Answer:

The cytochrome b6f is a large multi-subunit protein, which accepts electrons from the plastohydroquinone.

One electron moves linearly toward plastocyanin while the other goes through a cyclic process, which effectively pumps more protons into the thylakoid lumen.

Explanation:

The cytochrome b6f is distributed among both grana and stroma thylakoids equally. They are usually large and embedded in the membrane.
