<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'.

1. Why is diffusion insufficient to meet the oxygen requirements of multicellular organisms like humans?
astraxan [27]

1.   The oxygen requirements of an animal cannot be met by the process of     diffusion as diffusion is a very slow process. To overcome this, multicellular organisms have specialized cells and tissues for performing various necessary functions of the body such as intake of oxygen and food.

2.   What criteria do we use to decide whether something is alive? Any visible movement such as walking, breathing, or growing is generally used to decide whether something is alive or not. However, a living organism can also have movements, which are not visible to the naked eye.

3.   An organism uses outside raw materials mostly in the form of food and oxygen. The raw materials required by an organism can be quite varied depending on the complexity of the organism and its environment.

4.   The various processes essential for maintaining life are nutrition, respiration, transportation, excretion, control and coordination.
