Answer:

Chloroplast absorbs sunlight and it is used to make feed for the plant together with water and carbon dioxide gas. Chloroplasts are used to generate the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH via a photosynthesis process.

Explanation:

The site of photosynthesis action is chloroplast within a plant cell consisting of two chlorophyll molecules (PS1 and PS2), which have been embedded in the thylakoid membranes. The chloroplast consists of two chlorophyll molecules (photosynthetic pigments responsible for the green color of chloroplast). Each chlorophyll molecule absorbs light, caused to depart the chlorophyll molecules. This absorbs two electrons from each phenotype. PS2 electrons pass through the transportation chain for electron carriers, a series of redox reactions that release the energy used to synthesize ATP via Photophosphorylation/Chemiosmose (as the H+ ions diffuse through the stalked particles ATP, which changes the shape and catalysts, the electrochemical gradient diffuses down through the stalky particle ATP synthase).

Then these electrons replace the electrons lost in PS1. PS2 electron is replaced by photolysis electron, which when light strikes chloroplast, splitting the water into oxygen gas, H+ ions, and electron enzymes in the thylakoid space are catalyzed. The PS1 electrons combine to create NADPH with H+ ions and NADP (reduced NADP). These are the light-dependent photosynthetic reactions in chloroplasts. In the light-independent reactions, the NADPH and ATP are created. A pile of thylakoids is known as granum.

The light-independent processes take happen in the stroma. This is the site of carbon fixation; CO2 reacts with RUBP to generate GP (glycerate-3-phosphate) which is catalyzed by the enzyme RUBISCO (the most abundant enzyme in the world) (the most abundant enzyme in the world). The NADPH and ATP from the light-dependent processes convert GP to GALP (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate). Two out of every 12 GALP molecules produced are used to synthesize glucose that can be employed either in breathing or in cellulose-forming condensation polymerization to add extra strength to the planted cell wall. The other GALP molecules are returned to RUBP.

What r some adaptions that help animals who live in the Alpine biome survive

neonofarm [45]

The animals that live in the Alpine biome have to have special adaptations to survive in it as this is a biome with very harsh conditions for big portion of the year. The temperatures are very low, the winds are strong, winter lasts for half a year or more, and there's lot of snow. All this has made the animals to develop certain traits to help them survive. Some of those adaptations are:

- thicker and longer fur for better isolation form the outside conditions

- wider paws with denser and tougher skin, helping them to move easier in the snow and avoid frostbite

- larger lungs and nostrils for easier breathing in the high altitudes

- stockier bodies so that heat can be preserved easier

- the ears and tails are small and rounded in order to avoid frost bite

- big portion of them are able to hibernate for several months

After the two avian kidneys do their work, a bird will excrete nitrogenous waste known as _____________ from the blood.

Ludmilka [50]

The avian kidneys are divided into units called lobules and as the two avian kidneys of birds do their work or function, most of these birds excrete nitrogenous waste known as uric acid from the blood, which reduces water loss but requires more metabolic energy to produce nitrogenous waste.

In which of these is osmosis occurring

lakkis [162]

Answer:

1.Plant absorbing water from the soil.

Explanation:

Osmomsis occurs by the movement of a water from a region of higher concentration of water molecules to a region of lower concentration of water molecules, through a semi permeable membrane,

OR

It occurs as a result of movement of substance molecules from a region of lower concentration to a region of Higher concentration of the substance.

Note: The higher the concentration of the substance molecules,the lower the concentration of water molecules.

How does the Digestive system help maintain homeostasis?

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The bacterial flora in the intestines are essential to homeostasis in the body, they not only break down food so the nutrients can be absorbed, they produce vitamins like biotin and vitamin K and guard against harmful bacteria that enter the system. While your heart is a vital organ, the brain (and the nervous system that attaches to the brain) make up the most critical organ system in the human body. The digestive system ordinarily gets 20% to 25% of the oxygenated blood pumped out by the heart and the receptors in muscles provide the brain with information about body position and movement, the brain controls the contraction of skeletal muscle the nervous system regulates the speed at which food moves through the digestive tract.
