Answer:
Chlorophyll is any of several related green pigments found in the mesosomes of cyanobacteria and in the chloroplasts of algae and plants. Its name is derived from the Greek words χλωρός, khloros and φύλλον, phyllon. Chlorophyll is essential in photosynthesis, allowing plants to absorb energy from light.
Explanation:
The picture below represents; A. Gas
Answer:
The Calvin cycle uses CO2 and the energy temporarily stored in ATP and NADPH to make the sugar glucose. Photosynthesis is a two stage process. As is depicted here, the energy from sunlight is needed to start photosynthesis. The initial stage is called the light reactions as they occur only in the presence of light
Answer:
c) adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH).
Explanation:
A tropic hormone is defined as the hormone which is secreted from one gland and acts on another gland. ACTH is released by anterior portion of our pituitary gland during the condition of biological stress. After it is released, it acts on adrenal gland so that adrenal gland could secrete another hormone named as cortisol (steroid hormone). In response to stress, cortisol increases blood sugar level, elevates brain's use of glucose etc. so as to counter stressful situation.
Apart from this cortisol also helps in regulating our metabolism, reduces inflammation and controls salt and water balance.
The wood in a matchstick is made of cellulose, a polymer of glucose molecules. When you light the matchstick, heat and light are given off, indicating that an exothermic reaction is occurring.
There are two types of reactions:
1. Exothermic reactions: In these reactions, the reactants combine to form product and heat is liberated. Example, burning of fuel.
2.Endothermic reactions: In these reactions, the reactants combine to form product and heat gets absorbed from the surroundings. Example, photosynthesis in plants where the energy of the Sun gets absorbed.
