Explanation:

Each has one chlorin ring- chlorin is a form of porphyrin.

Chlorophylls are comprised of a ringed molecule, chlorin, a hydrogenated form of porphyrin which contains a magnesium ion at the center, bonded to four atoms of nitrogen. Varying types of Chlorophyll have side chains, which affect the absorption spectrum of the molecule for instance A has a methyl group bonded to the C7 position, while B has an aldehyle (CHO) group at this location.

Embedded within the thykaloid membrane of chloroplasts, chlorophyll a and B mainly absorb orange-red and violet-blue wavelengths and convert light energy into chemical energy for the process of photosynthesis. This occurs in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, within chloroplasts of plants. The range of wavelengths absorbed by a pigment is its absorption spectrum while it reflects those outside of this range. Plants appear green as this region of light is reflected by the pigments.

<h2><em><u>Answer:</u></em></h2>

The five steps that are always taken in scientific research are;

Recognizing the problem

establishing a hypothesis

doing research and assembling data

escorting the experiment

and finally proceeding to a conclusion

<h2><em><u>Explanation:</u></em></h2>

Arya already performs the first two steps; as she first recognize the problem i.e. she observes the dry glass and she also formulate a hypothesis that "the water content in the soil is about two-thirds lower than that of other yards in the area"

Now she will collect the data and conduct the experiment on the soil and glass and then she will assemble the conclusion based on the results.Now she will collect the data and conduct the experiment on the soil and glass and then she will assemble the conclusion based on the results.

Answer: The great molecular biologist and Nobel laureate Francois Jacob has stated that the human brain has a built-in need for order. From earliest times, human beings looked out and recognized cycles, repetitive patterns in nature—day following night, the seasons, tides, lunar cycles, plant succession, animal migration—that conferred the ability to predict their recurrence, and thus people acquired a semblance of understanding of and control over the cosmic forces impinging on their lives.
