Introduction: Investigating the effects of light intensity, NH4CL, and DCMU on the rate of electron transport in spinach thylakoid membranes was the purpose of this lab. Photosynthesis is the process that routinely drives electron transport across the thylakoid membrane but can be impacted when additional factors are added. Two phases known as the light reactions and the Calvin cycle makeup photosynthesis. Plastoquinone shuttle, water oxidation, and NADP+ reduction are the major factors of the…

TOPIC: ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF FUNGI Before we discuss the economic importance of fungi let us have a brief study about what fungi really are. Fungi are multicellular, eukaryotic, non-chlorophyllous, living organisms which feed heterotrophically by absorption and have a cell wall made up of fungal cellulose and have a body made up of hyphae called mycelium. In this universe each and everything has its own economic advantages and disadvantages. Let us first study the advantages of fungi…
