A Group of students performing an experiment collect Euglena samples from a pond and keep them in darkness in a vessel containin

g pond water
which would be the conclusion for this experiment? A) The Euglena cells remain alive because they are completely heterotrophic
and feed on the organic matter present in the pond water. B) The Euglena cells die because they are completely autotrophic
in nature and are unable to create food in the absence of sunlight.
C) The Euglena cells, which are both autotrophic and heterotrophic, remain alive even in the absence of sunlight because
they can feed upon the organic material present in the pond water.

Answer:

Option C, The Euglena cells, which are both autotrophic and heterotrophic, remain alive even in the absence of sunlight because  

they can feed upon the organic material present in the pond water.

Explanation:

Euglena is a special organism as it possesses the characteristics of both autotrophic and heterotrophic species. In the presence of light the chloroplast with in the Euglena entraps energy from sun and use it in the process of photosynthesis to make its own food. But in the absence of sunlight , euglena is capable to absorb food through its cell membrane and thus in this way they can also behave as heterotroph.  

Thus Euglena placed in darkness in a vessel containing pond water will survive.

Explain briefly how these features contribute to the efficiency of photosynthesis?​
barxatty [35]

Answer:

here's your answer

Explanation:

the estimated maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis is the energy stored per mole of oxygen evolved, 117/450, or 26 percent.

Consequently, plants can at best absorb only about 34 percent of the incident sunlight. The actual percentage of solar energy stored by plants is much less than the maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis. An agricultural crop in which the biomass (total dry weight) stores as much as 1 percent of total solar energy received on an annual areawide basis is exceptional, although a few cases of higher yields (perhaps as much as 3.5 percent in sugarcane) have been reported. There are several reasons for this difference between the predicted maximum efficiency of photosynthesis and the actual energy stored in biomass. First, more than half of the incident sunlight is composed of wavelengths too long to be absorbed, and some of the remainder is reflected or lost to the leaves
