Answer:

The correct answer is C) water splitting

Explanation:

During photosynthesis light energy is used to splits the water molecule into 2H⁺,1/2 O₂ and 2 e⁻. This process is called photolysis because in this process the lysis of water molecules takes place by photon energy.

Then the electrons are transferred to the photosystem to replace the excited electrons. This movement of electrons through the electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane helps in pumping of H ion in thylakoid space from stroma against their concentration gradient.

So when the H ions go back in stroma through ATP synthase it generates ATP which is used for carbon fixation during photosynthesis. Therefore water splitting is the light-dependent reaction results in the release of hydrogen ions, electrons, and oxygen.

The right answer is D) electron transport.

In chloroplasts, light is used to oxidize water to oxygen, and to reduce NADP + to NADPH on the other hand, with concomitant proton injection into the lumen of thylakoids.

H2O ==> photosystem II (P680) ==> plastoquinone ==> cytochrome b6f complex ==> plastocyanin ==> photosystem I (P700) ==> ferredoxin ==> ferredoxin-NADP + reductase ==> NADP +

stellarik [79]

Answer:

  1. Glycine
  2. Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate
  3. 3-phosphoglycerate
  4. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
  5. Glucose
  6. Sucrose

Explanation:

The glycine, among other amino acids, helps to improve chlorophyll production and promotes the process of photosynthesis.  

<u>Calvin cycle</u>

During the carbon fixation phase, a CO² molecule combinate with a ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate to form 6-carbonated molecules, which will divide into two 3-phosphoglycerate molecules.  

During the reduction phase, NADPH donates its electrons to reduce 3-phosphoglycerate molecules, and turn them into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

During the regeneration phase, a glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecule leaves the cycle and goes to the cytosol to form glucose. This step can be done when three CO² enter the cycle and produce six glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecules. One of them leaves the cycle to form glucose, while the other five are recycled.

<u>Cytosol: </u>

Once in the cytosol, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecules are used to form glucose and fructose. These two molecules are the monosaccharides that form the sucrose.

Once sucrose is formed, it is transported from the photosynthetic tissues to different parts of the plant by the phloem.

<span>Looking at the two species' DNA would be a good place to start. If there are a number of similarities in their genotypes, then there would be a good chance that the two would also share some type of a common ancestor. This would be evidence that there was some type of selection that took place that necessitated two different species that shared a number of traits and features.</span>
