When Engelmann exposed photosynthetic algae to light in the presence of aerobic bacteria, he found that some wavelengths of ligh

t produced a higher rate of photosynthesis, as evidenced by the number of bacteria gathered near the algae. Based on his results, what color of light did Engelmann find associated with the highest rate of photosynthesis?
A. Red and blue
B. Yellow and green
C. Yellow
D. Red

Answer:

A. Red and blue

Explanation:

Theodor Wilhelm Engelmann, born in 1843 and died in 1909, was a German scientist. He was the scientist who detected which wavelengths of light produced the best photosynthetic activity in green alga. In his experiment, Engelmann exposed the photosynthetic algae to different wavelengths in the light spectrum. He then added aerobic (oxygen-dependent) algae to see where they will accumulate the most in order to detect the best wavelength for algae photosynthesis.

He discovered that the aerobic bacteria accumulated in the parts of the algae exposed to red and blue wavelength of light. This is because the algae exposed to the red and blue light produced more oxygen due to increased photosynthetic rate. This attracted the aerobic bacteria, which needs oxygen, to that particular area with that wavelength.

How do cells release <br> Energy in the process of cellular respiration
White raven [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration  

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration
