Define photosynthesis.​

Biology

Zina [86]2 years ago
6 0
Photosynthesis is the biochemical pathway which converts the energy of light into the bonds of glucose molecules. The process of photosynthesis occurs in two steps. In the first step, energy from light is stored in the bonds of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate ( NADPH.

Answer:

Any process by which plants and other photoautotrophs convert light energy into chemical energy is photosynthesis.

Hope it helps :)

For mitochondria where an uncoupler for oxidative phosphorylation is present, which statement is TRUE?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is statement d.

Explanation:

In oxidative phosphorylation that takes place in mitochondria, the uncouplers prevent the coupling in between the phosphorylation reactions and electron transport, and therefore, prevent the synthesis of ATP without influencing the ATP synthase and respiratory chain.  

The uncoupler always exhibits its influence on the synthesis of ATP. The 2,4-dinitrophenol functions as an uncoupler at the time of oxidative phosphorylation. The NADPH and FAD functions as an electron carrier.

Place these events in the correct order of occurrence in the muscle contraction: End plate potential triggers an action potentia
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

1. Acetylcholine binds to receptors on the motor end plate

2. Ligand-gated channels open leading to depolarization

3. End plate potential triggers an action potential  

4. Transverse tubules convey action potentials into the interior of the muscle fiber

5. Calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum

6. Calcium ions bind to troponin, which then moves tropomyosin

Explanation:

Acetylcholine (ACh) is a signaling molecule (neurotransmitter) that binds to receptors on muscle cells. This binding triggers the opening of ligand-gated sodium channels, thereby ions enter into muscle cells, which causes the depolarization of the sarcolemma and thus promotes the release of Ca2+ ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The myoneural junction, also known as the motor endplate, is the site of synaptic contact between a motor axon and a skeletal muscle fiber. The endplate potential is the voltage that produces the depolarization of muscle fibers when ACh molecules bind to their receptors in the cell membrane. This depolarization spreads in the sarcolemma through transverse tubules (T tubules​) and thus generates an action potential. Finally, this action potential induces the release of Ca2+ in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which activates troponin protein and induces muscle contraction.

What does it mean to be sustainable?
lord [1]

Answer:

To be sustainable is to be able to maintained at a certain rate. It's to keep things continuous and viable. For example, wind energy is sustainable compared to oil because wind is easier to get than oil. Another example is if a country only has about 10-13 crimes a year for 20 years, crime is sustainable in that country.
