Answer:
The explanation of the processes in which pigments are involved (capturing light and forming ATP and NADPH) is given in the following paragraphs)
Explanation:
Pigments are molecules with the capacity of absorbing light. Each pigment captures light of a specific wavelength. Plants contain different types of pigments like chlorophylls, xanthophylls, carotenoids, and others.
Chloroplasts (organelles present in cells of plants), contain pigmants that absorb solar radiation, triggering a series of reactions collectively known as photosynthesis. When light incides on a pigment, an electron of this molecules is excitated, goes into another level of energy and starts to pass through a series of carrier molecules to finally to a final aceptor of electrons. During this transport, part of the energy contained in the electron is used to generates a hydrogen gradient that provides energy. As a result of these processes, a molecule that is called NADP+ accepts two electrons and an hydrogen to form NADPH, while another molecule known as ADP captures an atom of phosphorous and gives rise to ATP (through the action of a protein called ATP sintase)..
Answer:
Protons and neutrons
Explanation:
The particles to forms the nucleus of an atom are the protons and neutrons of the atoms.
These materials are located in the tiny nucleus and contributes the most mass of the atom.
- Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
- Neutrons do not carry any charges.
- Sum of the protons and neutrons gives the mass number of the atom.
Out of the following given choice:
A. The increase in
the airspace occupied by vinegar molecules
B. The chemical reaction with nerves, which is slower than
other sensory processes
C. Attractive forces between the air and vinegar molecules
D. Random collisions between the air and vinegar molecules.
<span>The answer is
D. While the particles may be
moving at high velocities even at room
temperatures, the delay is due to the numerous collisions
between the vinegar molecules and the air molecules.This changes the vinegar’s
molecules directions from straight lines to random unpredictable paths</span>
Answer:
Iron slowly reacts with oxygen and forms rust. In this case, the reactants are iron and oxygen. The product is rust, or iron oxide. The chemical equation looks like this:
Explanation:
iron + oxygen → iron oxide
