The pigments have a similar
structure of 40 carbon atoms covalently bonded in a chain. Carotenoids contain oxygen atoms in their chemical structure (retinyl functional group) while
xanthophyll does not. This makes carotenoids more non-polar compared to xanthophylls,
hence move farthest in chromatography
paper using a nonpolar mobile phase. Chlorophyll
pigment, on the other hand, has chlorin rings (which are larger) as functional
units hence move slowly in chromatography.
Photosynthetic rates
can be measured by either the amount of
oxygen they consume per particular time period
or the amount of carbon dioxide produced per particular time period. This
is conducted while immersed in water so
as to measure bubble rate formation in case of oxygen production or the change
in water pH in the case of carbon dioxide consumption.
When autumn approaches, the amount
sunlight received by the plant is reduced due to longer night than days. Deciduous trees have adapted by losing
chlorophyll a and b pigments (most important in photosynthesis)
during this time. This leaves a higher amount of the other red and yellow pigments hence making the leaves change from
green to yellow-red.
It is believed that this
is the result of an ancient endosymbiotic
relationship between a protist and a
eukaryotic cell. The protist generates energy
that the eukaryotic can utilize in its growth and reproduction while
the protist is sheltered. This relationship became obligatory symbiosis over
time.
Evidence supporting the Big Bang theory includes the presence of cosmic microwave background radiation, visual observation of redshifted objects and the abundance of primordial elements found throughout the universe.
Answer:
Airways diameter can influence the airflow resistance.
Explanation:
Airflow resistance follows the same principle followed by the airway resistance. This is the resistance offered during the pulmonary blood flow.
Airways diameter affects the airflow resistance. If the diameter of airway is increased, the airflow resistance decreases and air can flow easily in the body. The decrease in the airway diameter (dilution) increases the airflow resistance of the blood artery.
Answer:
As the choices are not given, so let's have a look at the Ramsar Convention in general.
Explanation:
In 1971, different countries around the globe signed a treaty in Ramsar, Iran for the conservation and sustainable usage of different wetlands around the world. The conservation of wetlands is important because the wetlands have a diversified flora and fauna. Destruction of the wetlands would result in many animals and plant species around the world to become extinct or endangered. Hence, this treaty was signed by different countries of the world as an understanding of the current situation of the wet lands.
