Why does sodium hydroxide solution affect the requirements for photosynthesis?

Biology
1 answer:
Jet001 [13]2 years ago
4 0
This is because the photosynthesis require optimum pH to be slightly alkaline. Bases, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), are necessary to raise the pH to levels that are ideal for photosynthesis to occur. 

Since, pH in soil, fresh water or groundwater becomes acidic, plant uptake and photosynthesis rates decrease.  Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) raises pH levels and can affect photosynthesis rates.

What is the problem with organizing organisms taxonomically purely based on their physical traits
masya89 [10]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>The problem with grouping organisms together taxonomically based on their physical traits is that organisms that not genetically or evolutionally similar would be grouped together. Grouping would be based entirely on superficial similarities instead of combining different features such as genetics, nutrition, the complexity of bodies, etc.</em>

Based on physical traits, for example, all flying organisms will be grouped together. Birds, flying insects, bats, etc. would be grouped together, whereas, they are quite different from one another when it comes to the complexity of bodies and other features. Even though some insects have wings and can fly like birds, insects have exoskeletons and birds do not, the body of birds is more complex than that of insects, and evolutionally, birds are more advanced than insects.

Hence, grouping organisms based on their physical traits only would be too superficial and not reflect the true relationships between organisms.

siniylev [52]
This is known as aversion therapy. Here, a patient is concurrently exposed to a stimulus, typically an addiction, and some form of discomfort. The idea behind this is that the patient will associate the addiction with unpleasant experiences. In this way, it is hoped that the patient will overcome his/her addiction. This sort of therapy has taken many forms. The more common form is for example to paint unpleasant-tasting nail polish on one's nails to discourage nail chewing. More extreme forms include electric shock therapy.
