Answer:

To produce energy in form of ATP

Explanation:

The thylakoid membrane harbors photosystems that will receive light photons, ejecting electrons from a main chlorophyl molecule in a reaction center, to other acceptors. These electrons will reach the electron transport chain to create a proton gradient, and subsequently, to produce ATP. Later on these electrons will reach the other photosystem, to produce reducing power. This is in plants.

Cyclic photosystems also exist, in some bacteria, for example, and only produce energy as ATP. They also have an electron transport chain.

A scientist discovers a new species of fungus that introduces genetic diversity during reproduction by creating a diploid zygote

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Glomeromycota

Explanation:

The phylum Glomeromycota represents a group of fungi where all representatives of this division reproduce asexually forming Glomerospores as reproductive structures. These fungi are characterized by being a species that introduces genetic diversity in the population during reproduction, creating a diploid zygote that results from the union of the nuclei of two mutually compatible cells.

pshichka [43]

The answer is I, II and III. These microbes can be funds even in hydrothermal vents at the bottom of ocean trenches where they convert chemicals to organic matter. Most are critical in the many nutrient cycles such as the nitrogen and carbon cycles. These microbes form the base of the food chain since they support higher organisms such as paramecium which are in turn eaten by higher organism such as amoeba. The amoebas are then fed by tadpoles, for example, and the tadpoles are eaten by fish…and etcetera.
