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

Biology
1 answer:
Stella [2.4K]2 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.

In a healthy cell, the rate of DNA repair is equal to the rate of DNA mutation. When the rate of repair lags behind the rate of
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The possible fate of the cell that it may turn cancerous.

Explanation:

The cells present in the body generally work in harmony. However, if a cell attains a mutation, it can make it proliferate in the case when it should not do, and make it thrive in the case when other cells are dying. Due to proliferation, the unusual cell produces more abnormal cells also known as cancerous cells. These cancerous cells become more favorable in comparison to the normal cells due to the phenomenon of natural selection. These cells eventually result in a lethal form of tumors.  

In the normal cells, the destructed gene or the damaged cells get repaired easily, in case if the damage is worse the cell dies. A protein known as p53 helps in repairing damaged cells or kills them if the damage is too severe. But in the case of cancer cells, the p53 protein does not work appropriately as they possess a mutated or changed form of p53 protein. Thus, in the case of cancerous cells, the rate of repair lags behind the rate of mutation, which makes the cancer cells thrive and increase in numbers resulting in further destruction.

Explain incomplete dominance, using snapdragon<br> flowers as an example.
oee [108]

Answer:

Dominant allele does not completely conceal recessive allele.

Snapdragon with genotype Rr (R being red and r being white), would have a phenotype of pink flowers.

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is where a dominant allele is not able to completely conceal a recessive allele, usually leading to a phenotype which appears to be a combination of the two.

For example, in snapdragons:

The allele for red flowers (R) is dominant over the allele for white flowers (r). Let's say a snapdragon flower had the genotype Rr, one allele for red flowers and one for white. In the case of 'normal' dominance the dominant red flower allele (R) would mask the effects of the recessive white flower allele (r), resulting in the phenotype (outward observable characteristics) of having red flowers.

However here in the case of incomplete dominance, the dominant allele would not be able to fully cover up the effects of the white flower allele, meaning that both colors (red and white) are expressed in the phenotype, resulting in pink flowers.

Hope this helped!

What if the sun disappears one fine day ?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Explanation:

Sun plays an important role in our solar system especially planet like earth are dependent on sun for food, water and air. Sun helps to balance the ecosystem on earth.

Here is an assumption what would happen if sun disappear for one day only, it would be more curt if it disappear forever but from POV of one day below are certain consequences of such a situation over solar system,

  1. You might be thinking if sun disappear then we would be seeing the moon for a whole day but don't forget, moon don't have it's own light, it reflects the rays coming from sun if sun disappear then surely moon would be like a ball kept in dark.
  2. It would happen for the first time if an asian man calls to someone in Europe, usually when here is night there is day and vica versa, but this time both will have same appear (night only)
  3. There's a idiom in Indian Hindi language that says "seeing the stars during the day time" which we use when we are going through something worse that we see the stars during daytime, but this time every human being on earth will see the stars during daytime, do not forget stars have their own light, they are not sun dependent.
  4. For the first time Night Blooming Jasmine will bloom and spread it's fragrance for 24 hours.
  5. Often when the earth revolves around its axis, a certain part of it receives light from the sun.But for the first time the earth will rotate around its axis without the sunlight falling on any part.
  6. people who are not allowed to go out of the house at night time can now enjoy the night out in the day too.
  7. Those trees and plants who slept in the hope that they would cook food in the morning with sunlight, they would not even know that their food has gone missing.
  8. Our ozon layer will have it's first leave from his duty.
  9. The bad thing is for the patients of night blindness, they will not be able to see this imaginary scene.
