D - Allow pH to change drastically.
The reason that we have buffer in our system is to protect AGAINST sudden change of pH
Answer:
To solve this question, it is necessary to consider the number of protein structures that have been empirically verified and the number of Open reading frames predicted from sequencing data
Explanation:
The most common methodologies used to determine protein 3D structure are nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray crystallography. Although both methods are efficient, the determination of 3D protein structures in physiological conditions is a time and cost-consuming task. Moreover, due to recent advances in bioinformatics and sequencing methodologies, the amount of protein Open Reading Frames predicted from sequencing data (especially obtained from Next Sequencing Generation studies) is many times higher. Indeed, less than 5% of sequenced proteins have an empirically validated 3D structure.
Answer:
To produce energy in form of ATP
Explanation:
The thylakoid membrane harbors photosystems that will receive light photons, ejecting electrons from a main chlorophyl molecule in a reaction center, to other acceptors. These electrons will reach the electron transport chain to create a proton gradient, and subsequently, to produce ATP. Later on these electrons will reach the other photosystem, to produce reducing power. This is in plants.
Cyclic photosystems also exist, in some bacteria, for example, and only produce energy as ATP. They also have an electron transport chain.
