Briefly indicate the arrangement of chloroplast in cells exposed to very high light intensity and the benefit of this arrangement
Chloroplasts move migrate away from strong light to protect chloroplasts from photo-damage and cell death. When exposed to high light intensity, chloroplasts remain on the anticlinal cell walls or the side walls of long and thin palisade cells to avoid absorbance of more light preventing build up of ROS that can damage the photosynthetic apparatus,chloroplast of the cells

When a Chlamydomonas culture is exposed to LOW intensity light, the cells will move toward the light (positive phototaxis). Cells move toward the light to increase their rate of photosynthesis. Which of the following scenarios would signal to a cell that it should increase its rate of photosynthesis? A. Low levels of P680. B. Low levels of ADP relative to ATP. C. High levels of NADP+ relative to NADPH. D. High levels of G3P in the stroma.
Why do you bacterial cells exposed to visible light following a significant UV radiation have a greater survival rate than cells kept in the dark? Explain the complications arising from UV radiation and why the light is advantageous.
Briefly describe the changes in pupil diameter that occur with changes in light intensity or distance to the object in focus, and describe why and how these changes occur; discuss the visual advantages and disadvantages of placing a pinhole card in front of your pupil.
During high-intensity exercise such as sprinting or lifting a
very heavy weight, energy is provided to cells by the phosphogen
system (or ATP-PC system), which only works for a few seconds. If
the diffusion constant of ATP is 3 ×10−10 m2 s-1, how far could
this molecule diffuse in 8.3 seconds?
OH O سے OH -P-O-P-O-P-O-CH - s ATP: Ci His NsO, 2/3 NH Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a molecule that is often used to transfer chemical energy within cells...
In cells that are exposed to sunlight, ultraviolet (UV) light can result in covalent linkage between two adjacent DNA bases. If not repaired in time, such dimers can lead to inheritable mutations. Consider the sequence 5'-GGTATGATCATTATAA-3' in the chromosome of a cell that is exposed to intense sunlight. How many possible dimers can form in the region of DNA double helix corresponding to this sequence? 04 O3 Sort the following steps in the order that they normally happen during the...
Very briefly describe the major differences between voltaic and electrolytic cells. You will not need all of the space given here to answer the question.
Very short pulses of high-intensity laser beams are used to repair detached portions of the retina of the eye. The brief pulses of energy absorbed by the retina welds the detached portion back into place. In one such procedure, a laser beam has a wavelength of 810 nm and delivers 250 mW of power spread over a circular spot 510 μm in diameter. The vitreous humor (the transparent fluid that fills most of the eye) has an index of refraction...
It is found that the quantum efficiency is very high for the reaction hv C2C14 + Cl2 → C2C16. It is proposed that the reaction mechanism is as follows: ko Cl2 + hy 2C1 . ky Cl. +C2C14. C2C1 • CzCl; +C12 -> C2Clo + C1- · C2C15 +- C2C15 4. Czcla + C2C14 Derive the rate law for this proposed mechanism. (Note: The input light intensity should also be included in the rate law.)
4. Development of organelles Aa Aa 3 Modern eukaryotic cells are very complex and have many features that allow them to function efficiently. These complexities took a very, very long time to evolve and likely progressed as a series of small improvements that were naturally selected. For example, modern eukaryotic cells have internal membranes surrounding their organelles and the nucleus. This arrangement likely arose when the cellular membranes of some ancient bacterial cells accidentally folded to become internal membranes. Which...
