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.

A nurse is assisting a patient with ambulation. the patient becomes short of breath and begins to complain of sharp chest pain.

melisa1 [442]

The correct option is B.
Having short breath and sharp pains in the chest are indications of cardiac distress and it indicate that the heart is been exerted upon. The first thing the nurse should do is to ask the patient to sit down in order to reduce the exertion force on the heart. Resting will allow the patient to become stabilized, the nurse can then check the patient's need for oxygen application.

A cladogram is a type of graph that shows how closely related different types of organisms are in an evolutionary context. It resembles a tree, with various organisms being placed at the end of each branch. If two organisms have a close common branch, they are more closely related than those who have more distant branches. Since DNA, or corresponding protein sequences are more similar in closely related species, and more different in more distant species, a biologist can use those sequences to numerically determine how closely related three species are.

The negative effects of tilling include _____. A increased soil erosion B reduced soil drainage C reduced need for energy input

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Tilling agitates the topsoil and removes ‘unnecessary’ vegetation so the main crop can grow without competition. Tilling improves soil aeration and drainage for plants to grow well. Nonetheless, it can lead to other consequences such as soil erosion because it loosens the soil and makes it easy to be carried away by wind and water.
