Approximately twenty-five elements occur naturally on earth. Remaining elements either have to be synthesized or obtained through chemical reactions.
Adenine and thymine are complementary bases, as well as cytosine and guanine. Complementary bases bind always with each other, and never with another base. Cytosine and guanine are joined together by 3 hydrogen bonds and thymine with adenine with 2 hydrogen bonds
Autotrophs like plants use photosynthesis to take in carbon dioxide and put out oxygen. Animals like pigs and chickens breathe in oxygen to live. So the breakfast of bacon and eggs that depends on chicken and pigs, essentially depends on photosynthesis
Answer:
A: The synthesis of triose phosphate from 3-phosphoglycerate
Explanation:
The process through which plant manufacture foods using inorganic raw materials in the form of water and
is referred to as photosynthesis. This process/reaction can be divided into two main steps:
- The light dependent reaction
- The light independent reaction also known as the dark reaction or the Calvin cycle
The light reaction involves the cleavage of water molecules and evolution of oxygen gas. The light absorbing chlorophyll in the various plant organs converts the energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
The dark reaction involves the fixation of
and requires the energy generated in the light dependent reaction.
combines with ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) in the presence of an enzyme known as rubsico to form a two 3 carbon compounds, 3-phosphoglycerate.
The 3-phosphoglycerate produced is then reduced using NAPH and ATP from light dependent reaction to produce triose phosphates.
<em>Hence, if the pesticide affects plants by decreasing ATP production in the chloroplast which happens to be the site of photosynthesis in plants, it will directly affect the synthesis of triose phosphates from 3-phosphoglycerate.</em>
1. Northern Hemisphere is having its summer solstice because it is tilted towards the Sun receiving the most direct sunlight of the year during the longest day. The Southern Hemisphere is having its winter solstice, the shortest day of the year, because it is tilted away from the Sun.
