Oxygen is an element in the sixth group of the periodic table. This means it contains 6 electrons in its valence shell. Therefore, to complete its octet, it will prefer to gain two electrons rather than to donate 6. This is why its valency is -2. The relatively easy to achieve octet makes Oxygen a reactive element.

Explain briefly how these features contribute to the efficiency of photosynthesis?​
barxatty [35]

Answer:

here's your answer

Explanation:

the estimated maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis is the energy stored per mole of oxygen evolved, 117/450, or 26 percent.

Consequently, plants can at best absorb only about 34 percent of the incident sunlight. The actual percentage of solar energy stored by plants is much less than the maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis. An agricultural crop in which the biomass (total dry weight) stores as much as 1 percent of total solar energy received on an annual areawide basis is exceptional, although a few cases of higher yields (perhaps as much as 3.5 percent in sugarcane) have been reported. There are several reasons for this difference between the predicted maximum efficiency of photosynthesis and the actual energy stored in biomass. First, more than half of the incident sunlight is composed of wavelengths too long to be absorbed, and some of the remainder is reflected or lost to the leaves

What does the biological species concept use as the primary criterion for determining species boundaries?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) gene flow

Explanation:

The biological species concept defines what is a species. It says that a species is a group of individuals in a population that interbreed with each other. So there should be gene flow between the members of the population to come under species.

Appearance does not define that two individual are of same species because even different species can look same for example Western meadowlarks and eastern meadowlarks looks identical to each other but they do not interbreed so there is no gene flow between them so they are not same species.  

Therefore the primary criteria for determining species boundaries is gene flow.

The majority of the U.S. population will take a pain reliever that doubles as a fever reducer at the first hint of illness.
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

This is not the best practice because the fever is a mechanism of the body against infection since it will raise the body temperature bacteria, which live well below 37 ° C, die, however it is noteworthy that by itself the fiber can not cure an infection but defenses are needed and must be treated with antibiotics.

In addition, in a small percentage of cases the fever becomes urgent. This is true. It is only true if it exceeds 42 ° C in a sustained manner.
