Answer:

B. White light increases photosynthesis in plants.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis in simple term is defined as the process an organism uses the energy got from light in order to utilise CO2 and H2O for the production of glucose/organic matter and O2 as a gas. Examples of these organisms include,

plants, bacteria etc

6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Light can be absorbed by pigments in the oragnism cell like chlorophyll. Different pigments absorb different wavelengths of light. Leaves of a plant are green because the chlorophyll within them absorb all the other wavelengths of light in the spectrum and reflects green light. Absorption spectrum shows that red and violet light are the most absorbed whereas green light is most reflected.

A white light has maximum photosynthesis because white light is polychromatic i.e of varying colours so it could absorb blue, red, violet etc.

So therefore, White light increases photosynthesis in plants.

Which of the following is not an example of active transport? I. Facilitated diffusion II. Osmosis III. Diffusion
klasskru [66]
I. Facilitated diffusion is your answer. 
Active transport <span>is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration, this process requires energy. Both osmosis and diffusion are passive transportations which means that they don't require energy.
Hope this helps!

A tree grows about one-foot each year. you carve your initials into the trunk of a tree that is 15 feet tall. your initials are
hjlf
The initials will still be 4 feet above the ground.

Trees do not grow from the bottom up. At the branch tips there is meristem tissue, so called the apical meristem. Trees grow in height from these apical meristems, so trees grow from the top and the initials on the bottom of the tree will stay at the same height above the ground.

Cerebrospinal fluid circulates within the ventricles of the brain and in the subarachnoid space. true or false
lozanna [386]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

CSF is produced by choroid plexus. It starts flowing from the lateral ventricles and move towards the fourth ventricle via the third ventricle. It then moves towards the subarachnoid space which is the region surrounding the brain and spinal cord. From the brain and spinal cord, CSF is absorbed through the blood vessels and passed into the bloodstream again. It then moves to the kidney and liver for filtration.  

Hence, give statement is true
