In spherocytosis, there is a defect in the membrane proteins of the red blood cells, specifically ankyrin and spectrin. These membrane proteins contribute to the biconcave shape of red blood cells therefore the loss of these proteins will lead the red blood cells to lose its biconcave shape--leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells (spheres) hence the name. This can lead to premature destruction of red blood cells and jaundice due to hyperbilirubinemia. Spherocytes do not hold oxygen and carbon dioxide well as spherocytes have a decreased surface area.
Answer:
Chlorophyll absorbs the red and blue segment of the white light and photosynthesis occurs most efficiently at these wavelengths.
When the light falls on the plant, the chlorophyll pigment absorbs this light and electrons in it gets excited.
This process occurs in a complex protein system which is collectively called as a photosystem.
Explanation:
Answer:
The answer is true, the pumping of hydrogen ions decreases and finally stopps.
Explanation:
As the cyanide blocks the bindinge site for oxygen, which is normally reduced to water, the pumping of hydrogen from the matrix into the space between the mitochondrial membrane decreases and finally stopps. There is an accumulation of electrons and the components of the respiratory chain are completely reduced, therefore the respiratory chain stopps working.
