What is the importance of ATP and NADPH?​

Biology
1 answer:
bulgar [2K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The energy that these molecules carry is stored in a bond that holds a single atom to the molecule. For ATP, it is a phosphate atom, and for NADPH, it is a hydrogen atom.

These electrons are used to produce NADPH as well as ATP in a series of reactions called the light reactions because they require light. NADPH and ATP formed by the action of light then reduce carbon dioxide and convert it into 3-phosphoglycerate by a series of reactions called the Calvin cycle or the dark reactions.

An oil tanker is leaking, causing hundreds of gallons of oil to spill into the ocean. Special bacteria are sprinkled on the oil
Anastaziya [24]

Genetically-engineered bacteria are sprinkled on the oil to digest it.

Explanation:

Genetically engineered or modified microorganisms (GEM or GMO) like bacteria are engaged to digest oil spills through the process called bioremediation.

The enzymatic action of these specialized bacteria to degrade or decompose and remove harmful environmental contaminants. When a leakage occurs in a oil tanker, all the gallons of oil stored in it are leaded into the ocean which poses a very huge danger for the marine environment and to all the biotic factors including humans who are dependent on the marine environment.

Removing the oil spill from the ocean waters is very tough and utilizing such novel technology will be very useful. Bacteria like Alcanivorax, Methylocella are commonly engaged to remove oil spills. These bacteria acts by breaking the hydrocarbon bonds of the oil and will digest and clean the oil spill.

What is the main difference between the life cycles of members of phylum bryophyta and phylum pteridophyta?
morpeh [17]

Answer: mode of reproduction

Explanation: Phylum pteridophyte are vascular plants this means they are plants that possess xylem and phloem tissues. Phylum pteridophyte reproduce and disperse by spores. The dominant phase in pteridophyte is sporophyte.

Phylum bryophyte lack true roots and they are non-vascular plants (no xylem and phloem tissues). They reproduce via gamates, the dominant reproductive phase in bryophyte is gametophyte.
