Answer:

9 amino acids

Explanation:

A segment of a gene that has 27 nucleotides will code for<u> 9 amino acids.</u>

<em>Each codon on the gene potentially represents an amino acid and a codon is made up of 3 nucleotides each. Hence, in order to find out the total number of amino acids that a gene segment with 27 nucleotides can code for, the number of nucleotides should be divided by 3.</em>

    number of amino acids = number of nucleotides/3

                     27/3 = 9 codons/amino acids

A proton gradient is established with the buildup of hydrogen ions on one side of the inner membrane of the mitochondria in euka
GenaCL600 [577]
B. ATP synthase. The purpose of the hydrogen gradient is to take advantage of molecules' tendency to move from areas of higher concentration to areas of lower concentration. ATP synthase lets hydrogen ions flow through it to the matrix, and the energy from this flow is used by ATP synthase to synthesize ATP.

Which molecule transports energy from glucose to other parts of a cell
Delvig [45]

Oxygen is extremely electronegative, making it very powerful in pulling electrons down the electron transport chain. Occurs in the cytosol. Glycolysis begins cellular respiration by breaking glucose into two molecules of a three-carbon compound called pyruvate. 2 ATP produced.

What role does water play in photosynthesis? Water behaves as a pigment in chloroplasts to absorb light. Water acts as an electr
dexar [7]

Answer:

Water provides hydrogen and electrons used in producing glucose.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is process peculiar to green plants and other organisms like algae and some bacteria. Plants synthesize their own food in form of an organic molecule (glucose) by combining carbondioxide (CO2) and H2O in the presence of sunlight. They absorb light energy from the sun to power the first process called LIGHT stage, where NADPH and ATP are produced to be used in the next stage. The electrons used to reduce NADP to NADPH comes from the "PHOTOLYSIS OF WATER"

CO2 is absorbed via the stomata in the leaves of plants. The CO2 is then fixed in the stroma of the CHLOROPLAST when it undergoes series of reactions in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose. However, the glucose molecule (C6H12O6) contains hydrogen which CO2 does not possess, this Hydrogen is provided by water during the light stage where it donated it to NADP+
