Answer:

Chlorophyll absorbs the light needed for photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process where green plants manufacture their food. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide combines with water in the presence of light energy from the sun to produce glucose and oxygen as a byproduct.

From the statements listed, chlorophyll does not combine with water. Chlorophyll is a pigment in plant that simply absorbs light energy from the sun  which is necessary for the process of photosynthesis. This makes photosynthesis a simple process in which light energy from the sun is transformed to chemical energy.

Analyze and conclude 7. which, if any, of the blood samples tested cna the patient with type b+ blood receive? explain why. 8. e
Digiron [165]
<span>7. which, if any, of the blood samples tested cna the patient with type b+ blood receive? explain why.
It can't be answered because you didn't put the sample test result


8. explain how you were able to use your knowledge of how different types of blood react with anti-a, anti-b, and anti Rh antibodies to determine the blood types of the four samples.
If the blood react with anti-a, then the blood must not have A antigen
</span>If the blood react with anti-b, then the blood must not have B antigen
If the blood react with anti Rh, then the blood must not have Rh antigen
Based on the antigen, you can conclude the result as:
react with anti A= blood type B
react with anti B= blood type A
react with anti A and anti B= blood type O
react with anti Rh= Rh-
not react with anti Rh= Rh+
<span>
9. if a person has type a blood, he or she would have antibodies for what blood type?
Type A blood has antigen A. So that person should not have anti-A antigens. 
The person should have anti-B antibodies because it was a foreign object to him. Depends on the Rhesus type, he can have Rh antibodies too.

10. why is type o negative blood known as the universal donor? why is o positive not a universal donor?

Type O blood doesn't have antigen-A or antigen-B. That means the blood cells won't trigger any reaction on Type A, B, AB, or O blood. Negative rhesus also means that the blood is safe for Rhesus negative or Rhesus positive type. 

Positive O blood type has rhesus antigen, so it will trigger a reaction in Rhesus negative type. </span>

Amolecule of dna was found to contain 120 adenine and 120 guanine bases.how many nucleotides comprise this molecule of dna?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

480 nucleotides comprise this molecule of dna

Explanation:

According to Chargaff rule,

  •        Adenine is paired with thymine
  •        Cytosine is paired with guanine

Given in the question

Adenine residue = 120

Cytosine residue = 120

So, [A] = [T]

i.e. [A =120] = [T=120]

again, [C] = [G]

i.e. [C=120] = [G=120]

hence, total number of nucleotides present

=> [A] + [T] + [C] + [G]

=> 120 + 120 +120 +120

=> 480.
