Biology

Damm [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Virus is an organism that has been a topic of debate in biological sciences. This debate is based on whether virus should be classified as a living thing or not. However, it has been shown that viruses possess characteristics or properties of both living and non-living things.

The living thing characteristics include;

- Ability to reproduce or replicate (in living cells only and not on their own).

The nonliving characteristics include;

- Lack of cells, which is a strong criterion for every living thing in accordance to the universal cell theory.

- Inability to self-replicate i.e. reproduce on their own without a living host.

What causes large amounts of air to move?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

There is a term "atmospheric circulation". It is when the air throughout the globe moves around. When the sun heats air near the equator more, and less at the poles. So the equator is warmer. The warm air near the equator moves either towards the south or the north, toward the poles. The warm air also rises up, and the cold air sinks. This is convection, but at a global scale. THis is also the cause of wind.

A chloroplast has stopped producing atp and NADPH
ElenaW [278]

The question is incomplete, so the complete question is as follows:

A chloroplast has stopped producing ATP and NADPH. Which of the following is most likely causing this?

a.The chloroplast has used up its supply of chlorophyll molecules.

b.Electrons have stopped moving through the electron transport chain.

c.The sun has risen and the chloroplast now can make more chlorophyll.

Answer:

b.Electrons have stopped moving through the electron transport chain.

Explanation:

ATP and NADPH are produced in the light dependent reaction stage of the photosynthesis that occurs within chloroplast grana.

ATP and NADPH are produced due to the movement of electron and proton (H+) in the electron transport chain, so if the movement of electrons will stopped in the electron transport chain, the formation of ATP and NADPH will also get stop.

Hence, the correct answer is "b".
