Why are plants green? In photosynthesis, chlorophyll molecules act as solar antennae, so that when sunlight strikes them their e

lectrons are excited to a higher energy state which eventually results it the splitting of water (H₂O). The hydrogen ions from the splitting of H₂O form a gradient that drives the chemical synthesis of ATP. The energy stored in ATP is then used to make what compound?

Answer:

1. Plants are green due to presence of green pigment chlorophyll in their chloroplasts.

2. ATP is used to make organic sugars (glucose)

Explanation:

Chlorophyll pigments absorb the light in the blue and red regions and reflect all the green light. When the reflected green light reaches our eyes, the plants look green in color. The color of the object is determined by the color of the reflected light.

Splitting of water during the light-dependent phase of photosynthesis and electron transfer through cytochrome b6/f complex generates the proton concentration gradient which in turn drives the synthesis of ATP. Calvin cycle refers to the set of reactions that fix the atmospheric CO2 into organic sugars such as glucose. The ATP molecules formed during light reactions are used to drive the endergonic reactions of the Calvin cycle.

Which of the following are matched correctly?
kogti [31]

Answer:

<u>1. type IV hypersensitivity: delayed-type hypersensitivity.  </u>

<u>2. type I hypersensitivity: IgE  </u>

<u>3. type II hypersensitivity: IgG  </u>

<u>4. type III hypersensitivity: immune complexes </u>

Explanation:

Type IV hypersensitivity is cell mediated hypersensitivity rather than antibodies as in all other types of hypersensitivities. It is also known as delayed type hypersensitivity because it usually respond in 2-3 days via T-Lymphocytes rather than antibodies like IgE or IgG. So we can say that in option 5 is mismatched as it relates type IV to IgG antibodies.

Some plants increase in height due to changes in specialized regions of cells in the tips of their branches. The processes that
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

mitosis, cell growth, and differentiation

Explanation:

There are several ways through which plants grow which may include the process of mitosis mainly that involves cell division. The increase in height in plants is attributed to not only cell division but also growth of the newly formed cell.

Mitosis involved division of cell and in cell growth, cells increase their size that ultimately cause growth of plant height. The highly active growth cells are meristem cells that are found at tips of the plants. They are actively dividing zones of plants and with their division and growth plant increases their heights.

Another mechanism, responsible for increase in height is cell differentiation. Differentiation is the process during which cells are specialized to perform specialized function. For example: Xylem are specialized for transport of water. Phloem are specialized for the transport of food. Similarly, some cells are specialized for growth and they are aimed at increasing in size and division that ultimately increase the plant height.

So, mitosis, cell growth, and differentiation are the mechanisms, that increase plant height due to changes in specialized regions of cells in the tips of their branches.

Hope it helps!
