Why is orange light the best for photosynthesis?
julia-pushkina [17]
Generally you can say that plants absorb primarily red (or red/orange) and blue light. It's within the chloroplasts that all this light absorbing happens. The chloroplasts take the energy harnessed in these light rays and use it to make sugars for the plant to use in building more plant material = photosynthesis.

An animal trainer is conditioning an elephant to startle at the sound of a trombone. Every time she plays the trombone, she then
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D, that is, the elephant will not react.

Explanation:

A kind of behavior that comprises a stimulus-response, which is distinct from the natural one is termed as conditioning. It is a kind of learned behavior. It is a kind of learning where the efficacy of stimulus enhances while provoking a response. When the presentation of two stimuli is done at a suitable time and with appropriate intensity, then one of them will be able to provoke a response that resembles the other one.  

In the given case, the mouse and the trombone are termed as unconditioned and conditioned stimuli. When a conditioned stimulus is demonstrated in a context of classical conditioning, it will result in the non-predication of the coming unconditioned stimulus. The conditioned response will get to cease slowly and will eliminate the conditioned fear. Thus, in the given case, the elephant will fail to react towards the trombone subsequently.

What happens to the nitrogen in a rabbits body<br>when it dies<br><br>​
zepelin [54]

Answer:

When rabbit dies, the nitrogen in the rabbits body is released into the soil  by decomposition.

Explanation:  

When rabbit dies its body is decomposition takes place. Decomposition is process of breaking down of the dead remains of the plants, animals and insects into tiny pieces by free living bacteria, fungi and worms present in the environment .

During the decomposition process the nitrogen present in the dead rabbit body is released into the soil in the form of ammonia. The bacteria(nitrifying bacteria) present in the soil converts this ammonia into nitrates so that it can be again used by the plants. Now plants intakes this nitrates for photosynthesis process. This process of fixing nitrogen back into the atmosphere is called nitrogen cycle.

Hitchhiker's thumb (H) is dominant to no hitchhiker's thumb (h). A woman who does not have hitchhiker's thumb marries a man who
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Genotypic ratio of offsprings will be: 1 (Hh) : 1 (hh)

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for the possession or not of Hitchhiker's thumb in humans. The allele that codes for Hitchhiker's thumb (H) is dominant over the allele for no hitchhiker's thumb (h).

Based on this question, if woman who does not have hitchhiker's thumb (hh) marries a man who is heterozygous for hitchhiker's thumb (Hh) i.e. hh × Hh, the following gametes will be produced by each parent:

hh - h and h

Hh - H and h

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the offsprings with the following genotypic ratio will be likely produced:

1 (Hh) : 1 (hh)

N.B:

- Two (2) of them were Hh i.e. with Hitchhiker's thumb

- The other two were hh i.e. no hitchhiker's thumb.
