Hydrogen ions are important in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis because they produce a
1 answer:
Answer:
<u>a. the production of ATP</u>
<u />
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is type of biosynthesis that produces glucose from the reactants sunlight, carbon dioxide and water. It happens in two phases of the chloroplast, the light-dependent and light-independent reactions. In a light reaction that stimulates photosystems, pigments such as chlorophyll absorb light energy at specific wavelengths. Here,
- Light energy stimulates photosystem complexes formed from chlorophyll. Photosystem II then absorbs and transfers light to a reaction core.
- Water undergoes hydrolysis or splitting to yield an electron, a proton (H+) and oxygen.
- energy is passed along the electron transport chain, where it forms builds up H+ and an electrochemical gradient in the thylakoid space
- These protons pass through the ATPase enzyme embedded within the membrane, into the stroma, generating ATP from ADP.
- NADPH is generated from NADP+

1 is C - see first attachment. Genotypes with Y's represent males, and big R represents red eyes, while little r represents white eyes. For example XRxr is a heterozygous (red-eyed) female, and XrYr is a homozygous white-eyed male.
2 is B because the absence of functional proteins and some ribosomes due to the mRNA strand is not as detrimental as the loss of the entire cell.
3 is B. (The insertion of 3 base pairs into a genetic sequence is the length of a single codon, meaning that only one amino acid in the entire polypeptide was added)
