The composition of the hair shaft onto which shampoos and conditioners are applied are; keratin, water, lipids, minerals, and pigments (melanin).

The hair shaft is a part of the hair that is situated above the skin. The hair shaft is mostly composed of keratin with water, lipids, minerals and pigments (melanin). The hair shaft contains three layers which are; the cuticle (the thin outer part of the hair shaft), the cortex (the middle part of the hair shaft which is responsible for the texture, strength, and colour of the hair), and the medulla (the deepest part of the hair shaft). The cuticle is the first layer of the hair shaft to be damaged when hair is not treated properly through the use of insufficient  shampoo, conditioner, or brushing.

Explain the phenomenon of photorespiration, including why it is thought to occur (evolutionarily speaking), and why plants have
liubo4ka [24]

Photorespiration limits casualty products of light reactions that build up in the absence of the Calvin cycle. In many plants, photorespiration is a problem because on a hot, dry day it can drain as much as 50% of the carbon fixed by the Calvin cycle.  The closing of stomata reduces access to CO2 and causes O2 to build up. These conditions favor a seemingly not useful process called photorespiration.  In most plants (C3 plants), initial fixation of CO2, via rubisco, forms a three-carbon compound.  In photorespiration, rubisco adds O2 instead of CO2 in the Calvin cycle. Photorespiration eats up O2 and organic fuel and releases CO2 without producing ATP or sugar. Photorespiration can evolve relic because rubisco first evolved at a time when the atmosphere had far less O2 and more CO2.
