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.

Nearly all plant cells and many bacteria are surrounded by a cell wall. However, the roles these walls play in cell division dif

Makovka662 [10]

Answer: A. protein like tubules

B. Microtubules

C. Microfilaments

Explanation:

Cytokinesis in the bacteria is facilitated by the presence of these conserved tubulin-like proteins. Due to the fact that their walls are flexible, constriction of these walls is possible aiding in cytokinesis. Unlike in plant that have rigid cell wall, a cell plate is involved in the formation of a new cell wall between the daughter cells. Network of microtubules determines the position of the cell plate which is mostly like a disc in the middle of the two daughter cells. Cleavage furrow occurs in animal cells which is caused by the action of the contractile ring: a ring of actin microfilament.

if the dimensions of a cube shaped cell with a length, height and width of 1 micrometer were to double , what would be the new v

dsp73

The length would be 2, the width would be 2, and the height would be 2. The formula for volume is length x width x height. So, you would multiply 2 x 2 x 2. The answer would be 8 micrometers cubed.
