Adaptations of the chloroplast​

Biology
2 answers:
zepelin [54]3 years ago

Answer:

Chloroplasts are the ’solar energy plants’ of a cell – they convert light energy into chemical energy

This chemical energy may be either ATP (light dependent) or organic compounds (light independent)

Only photosynthetic tissue possess chloroplasts (e.g. is present in leaves but not roots of plants)

Chloroplasts are thought to have once been independent prokaryotes that were internalised by eukaryotes via endosymbiosis

They have a double membrane structure (due to vesicular coating as part of the endocytotic process)

They have their own DNA (circular and naked) and ribosomes (70S)

Their metabolic processes are susceptible to certain antibiotics

The structure of the chloroplast is adapted to the function it performs:

Thylakoids – flattened discs have a small internal volume to maximise hydrogen gradient upon proton accumulation 

Grana – thylakoids are arranged into stacks to increase SA:Vol ratio of the thylakoid membrane

Photosystems – pigments organised into photosystems in thylakoid membrane to maximise light absorption

Stroma – central cavity that contains appropriate enzymes and a suitable pH for the Calvin cycle to occur

Lamellae – connects and separates thylakoid stacks (grana), maximising photosynthetic efficiency

Answer:

The adaptions of the chloroplast are thykalods which increases hydrogen gradient protons, it also has pigments that make light rlly large which is called photosystems :3

Answer: 1. smallpox.

the common cold and different types of flu.

measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, and shingles.

hepatitis.

herpes and cold sores. 2. Most notably, viruses differ from living organisms in that they cannot generate ATP. Viruses also do not possess the necessary machinery for translation, as mentioned above. They do not possess ribosomes and cannot independently form proteins from molecules of messenger RNA. 3. All viruses contain nucleic acid, either DNA or RNA (but not both), and a protein coat, which encases the nucleic acid. Some viruses are also enclosed by an envelope of fat and protein molecules. In its infective form, outside the cell, a virus particle is called a virion. 4.

In its infective form, outside the cell, a virus particle is called a virion. 5. A bacteriophage is a virus that attacks bacterial cells. The lytic and lysogenic cycles are two methods of viral replication. In the lytic cycle, the virions produced are released from the host cell whereas in the lysogenic cycle, viral nucleic material are incorporated into host nucleic material and are copied to daughter cells when the host cell reproduces. The common steps in both cycles are given below:

1  Attachment – in this step, the bacteriophage attaches itself to the surface of the host cell so as to insert its DNA into the host cell.

2. Penetration – the virus inserts its DNA into the host cell by penetrating the cell membrane of the host cell.

3. Replication – the viral nucleic material is replicated using the host cell's replication mechanism. 6. Host range is determined by the presence of receptors on the cell's surface. Viruses attach only single species and some attack only particular types of cells within a plant or animal. brainliest?
