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 +

maria [59]

Answer:

In grassland ecosystem, first trophic level is the producer. Producers are the organisms which makes their own food, here the producer are grasses. The second trohic level contain herbivores which feed on these grasses. These herbivores are eaten by secondary consumers which belongs to third trophic level and secondary consumers are then eaten by tertiary consumer.

The population of producers are very high so it is placed at the base while tertiary consumer are placed on the top due to low population.

How did Mendel’s results from dihybrid crosses help him develop the law of independent assortment?
mart [117]

Explanation:

The out come that mendel's observed from dihybrid crosses confirmed that each trait could be described by a pair of factors that segregated to form progeny (his first law) and further suggested that factors for multiple traits segregated independently, thus forming the basis for mendel's second law of inheritance
