Answer:

Pupil

Function: serves as site for entry of light into the eyeball.

Explanation:

The hole in the center of the iris is called pupil. The light enters the eyeball through the pupil. The pupil is circular or oval in shape and appears mostly black in color. With the help of muscular iris, the size of the pupil changes according to the intensity of incoming light.

Hence, the pigmented portion of the eyes of vertebrates (the iris) has a hole in its center called pupil to allow the light to enter the eyeball.

A client in her third trimester reports sleeping poorly: sleeping on her back results in lightheadedness and dizziness and lying
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Women are being advised to sleep on their side in the last three months of pregnancy, women in their third trimester are encouraged not to sleep on their backs. When they sleep on their back, the chances of the heavy uterus can reduce blood flow to the uterus and fetus, which can result in a stillbirth. Also, women are encouraged to sleep on their left side, as this is considered the best choice because the uterus naturally alternates to the right during pregnancy and left-sided lying will bring it more to the center and improve blood flow.

To help her sleep, a pillow can be placed between her legs or a long body pillow to support the back are often helpful. When a pillow is placed direct at her back and front, it helps support her body, resulting in a more comfortable position for sleep.

The major reason why she is having lightheadedness and dizziness when she lies on her back is that the weight of her uterus can compress a major blood vessel, called the vena cava, this then disrupts blood flow to the baby, leaving her nauseated, dizzy, and short of breath.

During photosynthesis what role is played by the radiant energy of the sun
Natali [406]

Answer:

The radiant energy of the sun is used by chlorophyll as an energy source to excite photosystems I and II, which are located in the membrane of the thylakoid.

Explanation:

When the light energy is converted into chemistry inside the photosystem, electrons are released and travel from photosystem II to photosystem I, through a protein complex; plastoquinone, cytochrome B, and plastocyanin.

When light hits, enzymes with REDOX power are activated while in photosystem I, one of the electrons converts NADP to NADPH, capturing protons from the stroma. Finally the NADPH and the ATP generated by the ATP synthetase of the thylakoid membrane, are products of the light stage of photosynthesis
