What is the purpose of the electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane?

Biology
1 answer:
Feliz [49]3 years ago
6 0

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.

balu736 [363]

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are essential to the carbon cycle because cellular respiration involves the intake of oxygen o2 and the exhale of carbon-dioxide co2 into the atmosphere. Where photosynthesis uses the carbon dioxide and water to create oxygen and sugars through energy to repeat the cycle. Respiration in general is a process where carbohydrates are turned into dihydrogen monoxide or water and co2(carbon dioxide). Living organisms together throughout the biosphere and atmosphere work together to continue this because carbon itself is an organic substance.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer: Option C.

if resistance increases, flow decreases.

Explanation:

if resistance increases, flow decreases describe Poiseuille's law because it explain the relationship between fluid flow and the viscosity of the fluid, length and width of the turning. The law describe fluid flow is related to length and radius of tubing and viscosity. Increase in resistance will result in decrease in flow rate because flow and resistance are reciprocally related in one way or the other.
