<u>Answer:</u>

Pfr and phytochrome  would be analogous to mammalian opsins in their light-sensing ability.

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • Phytochromes are proteins which are 'sensitive to light', and are able to  detect light sources on the plant body.
  • These form an integral part of the leaves of a plant body.  
  • These proteins are made up of two forms: Pf and Pfr. Pf exists in an inactive form of phytochrome which activates in the presence of light to form Pfr which is an active form.
  • This Pfr induces a cellular response in the plant. Similar to the opsins in Mamalian eyes, these also change in structure when exposed to light.
  • Hence, Pfr and phytochrome are the molecules which can be analogous to 'mammalian opsins' in their 'light-sensing ability'.

Lymph traveling from the left arm would enter the venous circulation via the thoracic duct.

<h3>What is thoracic duct?</h3>
  • The largest lymphatic channel in the body's lymphatic system is the thoracic duct, commonly known as van Hoorne's canal.
  • Adults have an average length of 40 cm, and their abdominal origin is about 5 mm wide.
  • The thoracic duct runs from the root of the neck to the twelfth thoracic vertebra.
  • The thoracic duct enters the posterior mediastinum, remaining to the right of the vertebral column, by ascending via the diaphragm's aortic hiatus.
  • At the T7 vertebral level, it runs posterior to the esophagus before crossing over to the left side of the thorax at the T5 vertebral level.
  • The primary lymphatic channel for the return of chyle/lymph to the systemic venous system is the thoracic duct.
  • It drains lymph from the left side of the face and neck, left hemithorax, left upper limb, and both lower limbs.
