Refer the the graph below showing the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a. Explain what the graph is showing

Biology
1 answer:
Stella [2.4K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: The graph shows that chlorophyll a absorbs light principally around 420-450 nm and 650-680nm wavelengths

Explanation: Chlorophyll a is a pigment found in plants that traps light energy for use in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll a absorbs light mostly in the blue and orange-red wavelengths. This is shown in the graph, where the peaks are around the 400nm and 600nm wavelengths, corresponding to blue and red in visible light.

This absorption means the pigment is 'excited' by this light, sending into a higher state if energy which provides energy for the reactions of photosynthesis.

polet [3.4K]
During telophase in mitosis or meiosis II, where chromosomes which were previously distinct and condensed, de-condense and spread out into a tangle of chromatin. At the same time, the nuclear envelope re-forms around each cluster of chromosomes in each of the daughter cells, and spindle fibres disintegrate.

Chromosomes are unlikely to de-condense and spread out into a tangle of chromatin during telophase I (i.e. Telophase of Meiosis I), since Meiosis is still ongoing, and the genetic material should be in its condensed form during Meiosis II as well. 

Hope this helps! :)

In what way do the nervous and endocrine systems differ in a way
Simora [160]

The nervous system communicates through electrical impulses and the communication is very fast. It works in a relay fashion, from point to point comparable to the way the old telephones systems used to work.

The endocrine system communicates by chemical signals via the bloodstream. Hormones are secreted into the blood and extra cellular fluids, then transported to target cells, which must bear a receptor to be able to bind to a specific hormone, and respond. 

Hormones are chemical messengers secreted into blood or extracellular fluid that affect the function of other cells.

Endocrine communication is not quite as fast as the nervous system communication

Which of the following cellular environments is conducive to the formation of disulfide bonds within or between proteins? Choose
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Rough endoplasmic reticulum and Mitochondria.

Explanation:

Disulfide bonds are known as covalent bonds. They are formed by the oxidation of 2 cysteines and these bonds can provide stability to proteins. These bonds mainly formed in intermembrane space of mitochondria and cellular compartments outside the cytoplasm endoplasmic reticulum. Both of these organelles present in an oxidation state providing an atmosphere for disulfide bond formation.

Cytoplasm and Nuclei mostly exit in reducing state because of the existence of disulfide reductase which is reducing the disulfide bonds between the cysteine residue to thiolate state. So, the disulfide bond formation will not happen.
