Why are pigments such as chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis

Biology
1 answer:
Vlad [161]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The chlorophyll pigment have photosystem 680/ PS I which captures the sunlight. Then the pigments gets excited and photosynthesis starts. Without chlorophyll photosynthesis can't happen.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis occurs in the chlorophyll pigment of the plant. They have the capacity to trap light energy and convert its energy to form glucose and oxygen.  

The chlorophyll is a double layer membrane structure. In it two photosystems works i.e. photosystem I and photosystem II. In the photosystem I light is trapped.  

In the chlorophyll thylakoids are present which have photosystem 680. It captures the photons coming from the sun. The photons are the light of different wavelengths which are absorbed by plants.  

The photon have more energy, and when it comes in contact with PS 680, the pigments get excited. Then they release high energy electrons which helps to form ATP, NADPH. Because it is a light dependent reaction.

Glucose and oxygen are formed in the stroma as it does not require light. It is a light independent reaction.

Therefore, chlorophyll is first require to capture photons coming from sun.

NeTakaya

Answer:

The correct answer is - B. The seeds are in berries that are eaten by birds and dropped as waste away from the plant.

Explanation:

The mountain ash trees contain red berries fruits that attract birds and other organisms. These birds eat these berries and eat berries and fly over the hills or mountains and after digesting they drop the seeds of these berries with the digestive waste. These berries grow on the mountains far from the original source as birds carry them by flying away after eating.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Members of which phylum establish a successful symbiotic relationship with the roots of trees?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is Glomeromycota

Explanation:

Arbuscular mycorrhizae are characterized by the formation of unique structures, arbuscles, coils and vesicles of fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota. They are a type of endomicorrhiza in which the fungus penetrates the cortical cells of the roots of a vascular plant.

In this symbiotic association, the fungus helps the plant to capture nutrients such as phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen and soil micronutrients. It is believed that the development of symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizae played a crucial role in the initial colonization of the earth by plants and in the evolution of vascular plants.

This symbiosis is a highly evolved mutualistic relationship found between fungi and plants.
