The absorption of light energy and its conversion into chemical energy occurs in multiprotein complexes, called photosystems, located in the thylakoid membrane.
Answer:
The correct statements are listed below.
Explanation:
Vitamins are organic and minerals are inorganic.
Organic compounds comes from living things.Vitamins generally exist as organic compounds for example all the vitamin such as vitamin A, Thiamine,riboflavin,biotin,pyridoxin,vitamin c,vitamin E, vitamin K exist as organic compounds.
On the other hand minerals are found in inorganic form for example nitrogen is found as nitrate and nitrite,phosphorus is found as phosphate group,phosphoric acid.
Answer:
A higher frequency causes a shorter wavelength and higher energy.
A shorter frequency causes a greater wavelength and low energy.
Explanation:
Frequency is the number of waves that move at a period of time. It is measured by counting the number of crest point.
Wavelength is the distance between waves. A wave with higher frequency have crest that a very close and therefore the distance between them or wavelength is short compare to a wave with low frequency that the distance are farther apart and they have long wavelength. Therefore to generate high frequency of wave , more energy is required to do this .
Answer:
b. Exchange between the plasma and the intracellular fluid occurs across the cell membrane.
Explanation:
The body fluid can be categorized as extracellular and intracellular fluid. The fluid within cells is called intracellular fluid and the body fluid outside body cells makes the extracellular fluid. The interstitial fluid is the extracellular fluid that is present in the narrow spaces between cells of tissues.
On the other hand, the extracellular fluid present within blood vessels is termed blood plasma. Therefore, plasma and intracellular fluid can exchange material via interstitial fluid only, not directly via the cell membrane. The exchange between interstitial fluid and intracellular fluid occurs across the cell membrane.
Answer:
The plant cell wall is strengthened by the molecular structure of cellulose. Cellulose is made up of ß-glucose arranged upside down, this arrangement aided hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen ions of the hydroxyl group and oxygen of the of the ring of same betta -glucose.
The aggregation of the hydrogen bonds give bundles of strong tensile strength of cellulose called the microfibrils (of 60-70 celluose molecules).They are held together in bundled called fibers.T<u>hese is the source of plant cell walls strength.

Collagen is the main extracellur matrix (EM) in animal cells.It is a glycoprotein made up of 25%of body protein of animals.Each collagen molecule is made of helix shaped ,three polypeptide chains, wound around each other to form<u> triple helix.</u>The bonds holding helix together are hydrogen and covalent bonds.
Each triple helix is attached to adjacent collagen molecule, parallel to it. The covalent bonds formed a cross link which held the collagen molecules together forming FIBRILS. This gives flexibility to collagen, while maitaing strong tensile strength. This is what is responsible for the structural strength of cell membrane
.
.The EM,is futher reinforced with carbohydrate molecules(proteoglycans) which<u> aided in water movements by osmosis following sodium movements into the matrix.</u>
