3 0

Answer:

Synthesis of carbon compounds

Explanation:

Light-independent reactions are a set of chemical reactions that occur in plant chloroplasts during photosynthesis. The product of these chemical reactions is glucose, a carbon compound essential for living things.

Photosynthesis is part of the carbon cycle, and therefore is involved in the flow o this element in the biosphere.  

During the day, plants use the Sun's energy to convert CO2 from the atmosphere into carbohydrates (photosynthesis). During the night, they use the carbohydrates  they produced to produce energy and release CO2 back into the atmosphere (respiration).

Ilya [14]

Answer:

The hormone is seretonin.

Explanation:

Seretonin is a hormone that is synthesized from the hydroxylation of amino acid tryptophan resulting in the formation of 5-hydroxytryptophan which further undergo de carboxylation to form seretonin.

 Seretonin is found in both myentric neuron and seretogenic neuron.Seretonin helps to control mood,desire for food and sleep.

  Selective seretonin reuptake inhibitors are used as antidepressent that interfere with the re absorption of seretonin thereby maintaining high level of seretonin in the synapse.
