What is refraction? what does it mean when we say that light is refracted as it enters the eye?

Usually refraction describes a wave as it enters a second medium of lighter/heavier density , which makes the wave bend towards or away from the normal line ( ex light waves from air to water ) . the eye's property is that it has different parts with different refraction indexes ( simply put , thickness) which makes the light that enters it to refract

borishaifa [10]

The answer is true-localization of function.

Cytochrome P450 is a family of conserved integral membrane proteins localized primarily in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These enzymes represent the terminal oxidases in electron transfer chains and their main reaction is the insertion of one atom of oxygen into the aliphatic position of the substrate while the other oxygen atom is reduced to water.

Answer:

1) pathway taken by water

water is absorbed from the soil, through the root hair cells and is transported by the xylem vessel up the stem to the leaf and/or flowers. From the leaf, some water is lost to the atmosphere as vapors escape out through the stoma present in the lower epidermal layer of the leaves.

2) water potential gradient

water potential refers to the concentration of water present. A gradient forms when there is a difference between the concentrations of water in two regions separated by a partially permeable membrane.

Hence, water moving down a water potential gradient means that it goes from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential.

3) There are tiny openings on the lower side of the leaves called as stomata (plural: stoma) that allow for gaseous exchange to occur. These openings are controlled by guard cells which are open during the day and close during the night.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
