When a pigment molecule in a light-harvesting complex absorbs a photon of light, what happens to its excited-state electron?.

1 answer:

8 0

When a pigment molecule in a light-harvesting complex absorbs a photon of light, While returning to its ground state, the electron transfers some of the energy from its excited state to an electron in a nearby pigment molecule.

It takes a photon of light energy some distance before it reaches a pigment molecule like chlorophyll.
An electron in the chlorophyll is "activated" by the photon. The energy imparted to the electron then moves from one pigment molecule to another until it reaches the reaction center, a pair of chlorophyll a molecules.
An electron in the reaction center is then excited by this energy, causing it to break loose and travel to the primary electron acceptor.
Therefore, it is said that the reaction center "donates" one electron to the main electron acceptor.

Could you use the dichotomous key in this section to identify a species of

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Yes, the species of a lizard can be identified using dichotomous keys.

Explanation:

A dichotomous key is an identification tool used by the biologists especially taxonomists to identify and classify the organisms.

The dichotomous keys are based on the characteristic feature of an organism for which two which contains two contrasting feature. The dichotomous keys are the most common tools used to classify an organism.

A species of lizard can be identified using these keys by selecting the key characteristic feature shown by the species which could be quantitative like weight, height or it could be qualitative like colour. By comparing these characteristics, it becomes easy to identify the species.

In crime scene, as investigator you saw an alleged almost dried semen in the bedsheets at the crime scene. How will you collect

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

an investigator will often use a black light to scan an area for traces of bodily fluids left at the crime scene. if there’s a substance that resembles semen or blood, they will often times apply a spray if it is dry and use a cotton swab to collect it in a vial to test back at the lab for dna evidence.

Answer:

evolution

Explanation:

For example, scientists believe that monkeys have evolved to become humans.

This clearly has happened over many millions of years.

Monkeys look really different from humans (don't you think!?).

This was just a random example that came to my head.

Hope this helps.
