The biome that has infertile soil, principally oxisols, to which the vegetation <span>has roots systems that capture nutrients from litter decay, is the tropical rainforest.

Soil types are highly variable in the tropics and are the result of a combination of several elements or variables which includes climate, vegetation, topographic position, parent material and also the soil age. Most of the tropical soils are described by leaching and poor nutrients. It also has two classifications: namely the ultisols and oxisols. Ultisols are known as well-weathered, acidic red clays soils. They are deficient primarily in major nutrients such as potassium and calcium. Oxisols are also an acidic type of tropical soil. However, they are well drained compared to the ultisols.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

How does the amount of water affect the growth of bean plants

Explanation:

The reason for that is because the only thing that differed in size or amount is the water. According to the question every other component, soil and amount of sunlight, are equal and the only thing not evenly distributed between the pots is the amount of water.

Describe the functions of the four photoreceptor proteins in human vision.
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

In human vision, the cone visual opsins are grouped into four photoreceptor protein families LWS, SWS1, SWS2, RH2 .

  • SWS1: produce pigments sensitive to very short wavelengths, UV-violet, 360-450 nm.

  • SWS2: produce pigments sensitive to short wavelengths, blue, 450-495 nm

  • RH2: produce pigments sensitive to medium wavelengths, green, 495-560 nm

  • LWS: produce pigments sensitive to long wavelengths, yellow-red, 560-770nm.

Explanation:

Photoreceptor proteins are light-sensitive proteins that mediate light-induced signal transduction, thus they are involved in the sensing and response to light in a variety of organisms.

The photoreceptor proteins are classified based on the chemical structure of the chromophores involved, the light absorption and on the protein sequence.

This photoreceptor proteins are located at the cone photoreceptor cells and are responsible of photopic vision.

For scotopic vision, rhodopsin is responsible. Rhodopsins are the visual pigments (visual purple) of the rod photoreceptor cell in the retina. They are responsible of human vision in dim light, as it contains a sensory protein that converts light into an electric signal.
