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.

What is the correct order for the hierarchy of biological organization from the least to the most complex? (concept 1.1)?
hjlf

Answer;

Molecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism, population, community, ecosystem.

Explanation;

-The biological levels of organization of living things arranged from the simplest to most complex are: organelle, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystem, and biosphere.

-Organisms are highly organized, coordinated structures that consist of one or more cells. Even very simple, single-celled organisms are remarkably complex: inside each cell, atoms make up molecules; these in turn make up cell organelles and other cellular inclusions.

-In multicellular organisms, similar cells form tissues. Tissues, in turn, collaborate to create organs (body structures with a distinct function). Organs work together to form organ systems.

I can’t see your answer choices, but igneous rocks are made from cooled lava or magma. This is why these rocks are so brittle and grainy. I’ve attached a helpful image to better explain! Good luck!!!

The cingulate cortex is a subcortical structure above the corpus callosum. its anterior (forward) segment participates in ____,
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer;

Decision making and emotion; memory and visual processing

Explanation;

Cingulate Cortex  is a subcortical structure above the corpus callosum. its anterior (Forward) segment participates in decision making and emotion, and its posterior (rear) segment participates in memory and visual processing.

-The forward 2/3 of this structure, the ACC: anterior cingulate cortex- participates along with the hypothalamus in the control of the autonomic nervous system (also roles in decision making, emotion, anticipation of reward, and empathy)

The rear third, PCC: Posterior cingulate cortex participates in memory and visual processing.
