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.

You have isolated a newly discovered viral strain and sequenced its genome. The genome contains 30% adenine, 40% guanine, 25% cy

Ber [7]

Answer:

It is a single stranded DNA since adenine percentage is not equal to that of thymine and the percentage of guanine is not equal to cytosine.

Explanation:

According to Chargaff rule, the amount of adenine in a double-stranded DNA is always equal to that of thymine. This is due to the fact that adenine pairs with thymine in a double-stranded DNA. Likewise, the amount of guanine is always equal to that of cytosine in a double-stranded DNA.

The percentage of four types of bases in the genome of the virus does not follow the Chargaff rule and hence, it is a single-stranded DNA.
