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.

Which of the following statements about archaea are true cowan?A) They are prokaryotes.B) They lack peptidoglycan in their cell
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

All the options are true except option D.

Explanation:

Archaea are a group of prokaryotic organisms i.e. they lack a membrane bound nucleus. They are one of the the three domains of life (the other two being bacteria and eukarya). Archeans possess a cell wall like bacteria but it is not composed of peptidoglycan, like bacteria cell wall.

Archeans are generally known to be found in very severe environmental conditions, hence, they are referred to as extremophiles e.g Some are thermoacidophiles i.e. thrive in very hot and acidic environment while others are extreme halophiles i.e. thrive in salty regions. Archeans known as methanogens produce methane gas as a product of metabolism from carbon dioxide and hydrogen.

However, the domain archeae was only found to be in existence recently after the domain bacteria, hence, they are not considered to evolve before the domain bacteria.
