In light reactions‚ the goal is to transfer solar kinetic energy to chemical potential energy. This is first done by the absorption of a photon of light. Plant pigments are molecules that selectively absorb light energy at wavelengths. A pigment molecule absorbs a photon of light one of pigments electrons jumps to an energy level further than the nucleus. The electron has more potential energy here. The electron now has raised from the ground state to an excited state. Pigments of photosynthesis

Basic Mechanism An autoimmune disease occurs when the body produces an abnormal immune response against self antigens. It is caused by failure of the tolerance processes to protect the host from the action of self reactive lymphocytes. An organ-specific autoimmune disease involves gradual damage to cellular structures and is replaced by the compensating connective tissue which depletes the function of the gland/organ. Type 1 diabetes (TD1)‚ is an organ specific autoimmune disease characterize

As Americans returned to work‚ the theory went; they would have more money to spend on everything from clothes to vacations to houses. As demand rose for products and services‚ businesses would be forced to hire

Chemical Equation Chemical Reaction: C10H8+ 12 O2 → CO2 + 4H2 O (Naphthalene) Combustion Introduction of the Product: Naphthalene is an organic compound with formula C10H8. It is the simplest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon‚ and is a white crystalline solid with a characteristic odor that is detectable at concentrations as low as 0.08 ppm by mass. As an aromatic hydrocarbon‚ naphthalene’s structure consists of a fused pair of benzene rings. It is best known as the

Chemical Reactions & Equations CHEMICAL REACTION : In a reaction when the original state of the particle changes and it cannot be reversed by simple physical means‚ this type of reaction is known as chemical reaction. Example :- Fermentation of grapes‚ burning of wood etc. In this reaction we have seen that after burning of wood‚ coal is formed and we cannot make wood from coal. PHYSICAL REACTION : In a reaction when original state of the particle can be recovered by any means then this type of

A federal law was passed barring entry to all convicts and prostitutes. Before then‚ immigration was scarcely controlled. Over centuries different laws were passed in attempt to get the situation under control. Once the Immigration Law passed‚ legal immigration

Each and every one of us has their own reaction about the third State of the Nation Address of President Benigno “NoyNoy” Aquino III. There’s always a negative and positive reaction. We always have comments in every part of the SONA especially the topics and issues that the president have mentioned‚ even the language that the president used. Most of the issues in our country were mentioned by PNoy like the billions wasted by PAGCOR for coffee. I agreed with what PNoy said‚ wondering if the people

Lab 1: Cell Transport Mechanisms and Permeability Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to have a better understanding of the subject matter and to understand the difference between active and passive cellular transport. It will also help to define diffusion and describe the process that occurs when certain solutes come in contact and are either stopped or move through the plasma membrane. Hypothesis I believe the plasma membrane is selective about what is able to and not able to pass
