I'm pretty sue it's called the Fluid Mosaic model :)
Natali [406]3 years ago

The given blank can be filled with the Fluid mosaic model.  

The fluid mosaic model illustrates different observations considering the composition of the functional cell membranes. It describes the membrane of the cell as a two-dimensional liquid, which limits the lateral diffusion of the components of the membrane.  

The model illustrates the composition of the plasma membrane as a mosaic of constituents comprising the cholesterol, phospholipids, carbohydrates, and proteins, which gives the membrane a fluid characteristic. This model illustrates that the constituents of the cell membrane shifts spontaneously.

When chlorophyll is exposed to green light a galvanometer measures high transmittance, and when chlorophyll is exposed to blue l
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

The high transmittance (low absorption) reading indicates that chlorophyll absorbs very little green light.

The low transmittance (high absorption) reading indicates that chlorophyll absorbs most blue light

Explanation:

  • The galvanometer is a device which is used for measuring the electric current.
  • In a spectrophotometer the galvanometer is attached to indicated the amount of light that is getting transmitted through a sample.
  • If the amount of light that is getting transmitted from the sample is more, the reading of the galvanometer would be higher and if less light is transmitted the reading of the galvanometer would be less.
  • Further, the transmittance of a light is inversely proportional to the absorption, that is if the absorption would be low transmittance would be high and vice versa.
  • Therefore, when the chlorophyll is exposed to green light, the transmittance is high and this implies that the absorption of green light would be less.
  • Similarly, when the chlorophyll is exposed to blue light, a low transmittance indicates a higher absorption of blue light by chlorophyll.

To which substance does ferredoxin transfer an electron?
Sonbull [250]

The right answer is NADP+.

Ferredoxin is an iron-sulfur protein that effects electron transfer in a large number of redox reactions in cell metabolism through Fe-S clusters whose iron cations oscillate between +2 (ferrous) oxidation states. and +3 (ferric). The first protein of this type was isolated in 1962 from the anaerobic bacterium Clostridium pasteurianum. A chloroplast-specific ferredoxin is involved in the cyclic and noncyclic photophosphorylation reactions of photosynthesis. In non-cyclic photophosphorylation, ferredoxin is the ultimate electron acceptor and reduces NADP + under the action of ferredoxin-NADP + reductase (EC 1.18.1.2) with FAD and a flavin group as cofactors:

2 ferredoxin- [Fe (2+) Fe (3+) S2 (-2)] + NADP (+) + H (+) ==> 2 ferredoxin- [Fe3 (+2) S2 (-2)] + NADPH .

Vision is to the occipital lobe as _____ is to the _____ lobe.
marissa [1.9K]

Vision is to the occipital lobe as touch is to the parietal lobe.

<span>The occipital lobe is the visual processing center and one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals.  This lobe processes the rapid information that our eyes are sending.</span>

The parieatl lobe is other lobe from the foru major lobes. It is positioned above the occipital lobe and behind the frontal lobe and central sulcus. This lobe is responsible for integration of sensory information , including spatial sense and navigation.
