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.

How would a tsunami most likely affect the abundance of aquatic organisms in the intertidal zone of the ocean?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer: C). A tsunami would decrease abundance by causing physical damage to the organisms and their ecosystems.

An intertidal zone is also known as littoral zone. It is the region which is covers the foreshore and seabed. This region is exposed to the affects of tides. This region is highly vulnerable to tsunamis. The tsunami will disturb the habitat of organisms living in intertidal zone. Therefore, will result in decrease in abundance of aquatic organisms.

Why are biological membranes important to the body?
Kay [80]
Photosynthesis, the process whereby plants use light from the Sun to convert CO2 into organic compounds such as sugars, and oxygen, is one of the most important natural processes on Earth. This is a sophisticated system with a highly regulated shuttle traffic of ions and molecules that passes through several membranes. I hope I helped you and good luck and I am sorry I know it’s late at night it’s just I love to help people and I ate to much sugar

Identify the type of neuronal cell that detects bright light and provides high-resolution color vision.
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is b. cones.

Explanation:

Cones and rods are specialized cells, called photoreceptor cells, that are found in the retina and are responsible for our vision.

Cones, allow to the human eye to have a visual acuity (ability of the eye to resolve, transmit sharp images and perceive small details in an object) and provide sensitivity to the color, are more concentrated in the central yellow spot known as the macula.

There are three different types of cones in color reception: "L cones" (sensitive to long wavelength, which is red), "M cones" (sensitive to medium wavelength, which is green) and "S cones" (sensitive to short wavelength, which is blue). Since color perception depends on the activation of these three types of nerve cells, it follows that the visible color can be determined based on three numbers called triestimulus values.

The rods are necessary for the perception of light and darkness and to adapt to night vision, because they are very sensitive to low intensity light. On the contrary, they become completely blind to bright light and, therefore, lack importance with regard to daytime vision or visual acuity.
