Summary Introduction

To determine: The role of molecular oxygen in photosynthesis.

Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process in which solar energy is used for the formation of chemical energy that is glucose from the carbon dioxide and water. This process takes place in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplast. This thylakoid membrane contains two types of photosystem units: PS I that absorb 700 nm of light and PS II that absorb 680 nm of light. Electron transport occurs from photosystem II. When the light of 680 nm strikes on photosystem II, the water molecules present near the photosystem II splits into hydrogen ion (2H+) and evolve as oxygen gas.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The role of molecular oxygen in aerobic cellular respiration.

Introduction: Aerobic cellular respiration is the process by which energy is produced in a cell.  Energy is released from the breakdown of glucose in cellular respiration that is used by the cell for performing various life processes. Mitochondria are considered as the powerhouses of the cell, which synthesizes energy in the form of ATP.

Find out about the organisations and the movements aimed at the conservation of our natural resources. Eg Chipko movement and Greenpeace. Make a project report on such an organisation.
What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
