Deformation is the change in size or shape of a body due to the application of stress. There are two main types of deformation:
Ductile deformation occurs where a body is deformed permanently without any fracturing such as seen when folds are formed.
Brittle deformation occurs when a body changes size and shape in the presence of stress and it fractures because it is no more elastic but plastic. They produce faults and other fractures seen in rocks.
Objects able to block all the light are called opaque and will form a shadow. ... The closer an object is to the light source, the larger the shadow it casts. This is because an object closer to the source will block a larger area of the light, increasing its shadow size.
<em>The light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place <u>within the thylakoids</u>. These reactions occur when the pigment chlorophyll, located within the thylakoid membranes, captures energy from the sun (photons) to initiate the breakdown of water molecules.</em>
<em>The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis take place <u>within the stroma.</u><u> </u>It<u> </u></em><em>contains</em><em> enzymes that work with ATP and NADPH to “fix” carbon from carbon dioxide into molecules that can be used to build glucose. The chloroplast's own genetic material (separate from that of the cell) is also stored in the stroma.</em>
