Answer:
D) In case 1, both PS I and PS II completely lose function; in case 2, a proton gradient is still produced.
Explanation:
The light dependent reaction of photosynthesis, which produces the ATP and NADPH needed in the light independent stage of the process, includes complexes of proteins and pigments called PHOTOSYSTEMS. These photosystems (I and II) are key to the functionality of the light dependent reactions in the thylakoid.
The major pigment present in both photosystems is CHLOROPHYLL A, which absorbs light energy and transfers electrons to the reaction center. Chlorophyll B is only an accessory pigment meaning it can be done without. Hence, if all of the chlorophyll A is inactivated in the algae but leaves chlorophyll B intact as in case 1, both PS I and PS II will lose their function because Chlorophyll A is the major pigment that absorbs light energy in both photosystems.
In case 2, if PS I is inhibited and PS II is unaffected, a PROTON GRADIENT WILL STILL BE PRODUCED because the splitting of water into protons (H+) and electrons (e-) occurs in PSII. Hence, H+ ions can still be pumped into the inner membrane of the thylakoid in order to build a proton gradient even without the occurrence of PS I.
those would be myofibrils
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
Because a Longitudinal wave is a wave vibrating in the direction of propagation.
Answer:
The correct answer will be option C.
Explanation:
ATP is the energy molecule which on hydrolysis provide energy to the cells for metabolic functions.
In vitro, the standard free energy of the ATP is -30.5 kJ/mol but its value varies in the cell as the concentration of ATP and its products like ADP, AMP and Pi are unequal in a cell. The Mg2+ in the cytosol has the ability to bind ATP and ADP, as well as the time of ATP hydrolysis, differs from cell to cell, thus influencing the concentration of ATP and its products.
Thus, option C is the correct answer.
I think that b is the correct
