Answer:

The correct answer is A. carbon fixation.

Explanation:

Carboxisomes are the microcompartment which is present in cyanobacteria and some chemotrophic bacteria which contain an enzyme called RuBisCO. This enzyme is responsible for carbon fixation in bacteria and plants.

Carboxysomes contain many polyhedron proteins that contain these enzymes which do carbon fixation in the Calvin cycle. As in carboxysome, the concentration of CO2 around RuBisCO is high so the competition with O2 is decreased or eliminated that favors carbon fixation and production of organic compounds. So the correct answer is A.

Medicines in the body interact with the body proteins. how might normal variations in your genes affect your response to differe
Nonamiya [84]
Small, but normal variations in genes may produce proteins that work differently from those of other individuals ( friends or relatives). This may affect how we respond  to different medicines. The extent to which these proteins functions varies from one individual to another. Example; certain painkillers only work when body proteins convert them from an inactive form to an active one. If these proteins work too fast, the drug will be eliminated from the body before it has time to work. To do their job the pain killers need to bind and modulate a target body protein, the receptor, such that if the target body protein is altered the pain killer might not be able to bind.

What happens when chlorophyll and other pigments absorb light?
luda_lava [24]
<span> In the process of photosynthesis, chlorophyll goes into a peculiar excited state which can survive for an unusually long time. Furthermore, the excitation energy can hope from chlorophyll molecule to chlorophyll molecule. In this way a large collection of chlorphyll molecules function as an "antenna" that collects many photons and funnels their energy down to a reaction center, where one particular chlorophyll will lose an electron.</span>
