In humans, the embryonic and the fetal forms of haemoglobin have a higher affinity for oxygen than that of adults this is because non-identical genes produce different versions of globin during development. So the correct option is A.

<h3>What is meant by oxygen affinity? </h3><h3> </h3>

The amount of oxygen delivered to the cells will depend on the haemoglobin's oxygen affinity.  

Oxygen affinity is defined as the relationship between the saturation of haemoglobin oxygen, represented by SaO2 and the oxygen tension, represented by PaO2. This relationship is plotted by a dissociation curve which is S-shaped.  

Thus, in the embryonic the fetal form, haemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen.

Therefore the correct option is A.

Which of the following factors is needed during light-dependent reactions to create ATP and NADPH energy molecules?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer: The correct answer is- Solar energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Light dependent reactions comprise the first phase of photosynthesis (formation of food by green plants and algae in presence of sunlight) process.

This phase occurs in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplast.

During this phase, a green pigment chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight (in the presence of carbon dioxide and water) and convert it into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

This energy is further utilized in the formation of food (glucose) in the next phase, which is a light independent phase of photosynthesis.

In photosynthesis, oxygen is produced by splitting of water molecule and it is released in the atmosphere.

Thus, solar energy, carbon dioxide, and water is the right answer.
