How does water's role in photosynthesis explain

Social Studies
1 answer:
Vera_Pavlovna [14]2 years ago
4 0

At a fundamental level, water provides electrons to replace those removed from chlorophyll in photosystem II. Also, water produces oxygen as well as reduces NADP to NADPH (required in the Calvin cycle) by liberating H+ ions

During the process of photosynthesis, six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water react in the presence of sunlight to form one glucose molecule and six molecules of oxygen. The role of water is to release oxygen (O) from the water molecule into the atmosphere in the form of oxygen gas (O2).

Water also has another important role of being an electron feeder. In the process of photosynthesis, water provides the electron that binds the hydrogen atom (of a water molecule) to the carbon (of carbon dioxide) to give sugar (glucose).

Water acts as a reducing agent by providing H+ ions that convert NADP to NADPH. Since NADPH is an important reducing agent present in chloroplasts, its production results in a deficit of electrons, resulting from oxidation of chlorophyll. This loss of electron must be fulfilled by electrons from some other reducing agent. Photosystem II involves the first few steps of the Z-scheme (the diagram of the electron transport chain in photosynthesis) and therefore a reducing agent that can donate electrons is required to oxidize chlorophyll, which is provided by water (acting as a source of electrons in green plants and cynobacteria). Hydrogen ions thus released create a chemical potential (chemiosmotic) across the membrane that finally results in synthesis of ATP. Photosystem II is the primary known enzyme that acts as catalyst in this oxidation of water.

Example problem for determining nominal strength of a single reinforced concrete beam with two rows of steel?
Kaylis [27]

According to calculations employing specific material strengths (such as yield strength, Fy, or ultimate strength), nominal strength is the ability of a structure or component to resist the effects of loads.

What is nominal capacity of the beam?

  • Using the forces in the beam's segments at equilibrium, the nominal moment capacity of an RC beam is calculated.
  • On the nominal moment capacity under fire, the benefit of circulating cool water and covering concrete is evaluated.

How do you calculate reinforced concrete beams?

The numbers must be multiplied by 1.65 - 0.0003wc but not less than 1.09 for lightweight concrete with equilibrium density (between 1440 and 1840 kg/m3).

Suppose that, in a competitive market without government regulations, the equilibrium price of donuts is $1.50 each. Complete th
madreJ [45]

Answer:

A binding price floor is set above the equilibrium price as a minimum price

A binding price ceiling is set below the equilibrium price as a maximum price

Equilibrium price is $1.50

a) The government prohibits donut shops from selling donuts for more than $1.10 each = Price ceiling and it is Binding

b) The government has instituted a legal minimum price of $1.80 each for donuts = Price Floor and it is Binding

c) Due to new regulations donut shops that would like to pay better wages in order to hire more workers are prohibited from doing so = Price ceiling and it is non-binding (as firms are wiling to offer higher wages than the minimum wage rate)

Salespeople are like independent entrepreneurs because they have a territory to manage and few restrictions on how to do it.
saveliy_v [14]
<span>This is true. Salespeople do not answer to anyone unless they willingly sign to someone. For the most part salespeople are independent contractors who offer their services or products to the general public. They make their own decisions and control which products or services they want to sell.</span>
