Answer:

The correct answer is option B, Diffusion

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide and oxygen diffuse across the semipermeable membrane due to the variation of concentration across the membrane (known as concentration gradient). Oxygen diffuses into the cell from outside because its concentration is high on the outer side of the cell wall. While carbon dioxide diffuses out of the cell, because its concentration is high on the inner side of cell membrane.

Also, both carbon dioxide and oxygen are non polar and small sized molecules due to which they can be easily transported across the lipid membrane.

The rate of O2 production by the light reactions varies with the intensity of light because light is required as the energy sour

kupik [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Yes, the light reactions also depend upon the Calvin cycle. Calvin cycle refers to a phenomenon that is used by the plants and algae to convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into sugar, the food needed by the autotrophs in order to grow. The plants rely upon the Calvin cycle for food and energy.

In the given case, the rate of oxygen production would get diminish as the rate of ATP and NADP+ generated by the Calvin cycle diminishes. Of all the outcomes of the Calvin cycle, ADP and NADP+ are the only ones that get utilized by light reactions.

The ADP and NADP+ are used up by the light reactions to fuel their reactions. This illustrates that if the rate of ADP and NADP+ generated by the Calvin cycle diminishes the production of oxygen by the light reactions also diminishes.

Cocaine has two effects on synaptic transmission: it impairs reuptake of dopamine and it causes more dopamine to be released int

Veronika [31]

Cocaine is an indirect agonist of dopamine receptors which means he has no specific agonist activity at the dopamine receptor but he enhances his activity. Cocaine acts by binding to the dopamine transporter, blocking the removal of dopamine from the synapse and blocking termination of dopamine signalling. As a result, it increases the extracellular concentration of dopamine and therefore signal to the receiving neurons is amplified.
