Photosynthetic pigments, which absorbs the most sunlight and at which wavelength(s) of visible light?

Biology

vichka [17]3 years ago

<span>Photosynthetic pigments, which absorbs the most sunlight is chlorophyll a.
This is the most abundant pigment in plants which absorbs visible light with wavelengths of 430nm( blue) and 662nm( red). It contains a hydrophobic phytol chain (in a lipid membrane) and a tetrapyrrolic ring (outside of the membrane) that absorbs the energy from light. At the centre of the structure is magnesium, Mg that can accept and donate e-.</span>

Answer:

Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that infect only bacteria and do not infect mammalian or plant cells. Phages are ubiquitous in the environment. Phages or bacteriophages were chosen as a model system for their simplicity, as they only contained protein-coated nucleic acid. Alfred D. Hershey and Martha Chase (who were part of the bacteriophage group) in 1952 studying the infection of the bacterium Escherichia coli by the T2 phage show that the information definitely resides in the DNA. They used phage with either [32P] -labeled DNA or [35S] -labeled proteins to infect the bacteria. Immediately afterwards, they centrifuged the sample so that the infected bacteria remain in the pellet and the virus capsids (proteins) remain in the supernatant. [35S] is found in the supernatant, whereas [32P] is found in bacteria. After one cycle of infection, it was observed that when phage labeled in the [35S] proteins were used, only 1% of the radioactivity was incorporated into the progeny. But when phages were [32P] labeled, more than 30% of the radioactivity was in the progeny. They showed directly that what is transmitted from one progeny to another is the DNA and not the proteins, despite having first "diluted" in a bacterium.

Explanation:

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria in a specific way. Bacteriophages, like other known viruses, are found in an intermediate zone between living organisms and inert matter. Bacteriophages bind to the host pathogenic bacterium, introduce their genetic material, replicate inside it and destroy it. Hersey, along with his assistant Martha Chase, used phages because they knew that T2 phages were made up of 50% proteins and 50% nucleic acids and that phages entered bacteria and reproduced. As the progeny carried the same infection traits, the genetic material of this had to be transmitted to the offspring, but the mechanism was unknown. These scientists carried out an experimental work with the T2 virus, a bacteriophage that infects the bacterium Escherichia coli, which it reproduces by attaching itself to the outer wall of the bacterium, injecting its DNA into it where it replicates and directs the synthesis of the phage's own proteins. Phage DNA is encapsulated within proteins and produces phages, which lyse or disrupt the cell and release phage from progeny. They infected a culture of bacteria with radioactively labeled phages: the protein coat with sulfur (35S) and its DNA with phosphorus (32P). After infection, they separated the phages from the bacteria by violent shaking using a mixer (hence the name of the experiment). By centrifugation the much smaller phages remained in the supernatant and the much larger bacteria in the pellet. 85% of the radioactivity corresponding to DNA appeared in the pellet and 82% of the protein in the supernatant. This result supported the idea that DNA was the only component of the bacteriophage that penetrated the interior of the bacteria and, having the ability to form new phages, constituted the genetic material.

From approximately 240 to 66 million years ago, dinosaurs dominated most of the land habitats on Earth. Around 66 million years
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The correct answer is option C, that is, mammals were able to diversify to make use of the variety of habitats that were previously occupied by dinosaurs.

Adaptive radiation refers to the comparatively fast evolution of various species from a single common ancestor. Adaptive radiation usually takes place when a species enters a novel area and distinct traits influence its existence. An illustration of adaptive radiation is the progression of mammals after the annihilation of dinosaurs.

How do rocks form and change
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Igneous rocks form when molten rock (magma or lava) cools and solidifies. Sedimentary rocks originate when particles settle out of water or air, or by precipitation of minerals from water. Crystallization, erosion, sedimentation, and metamorphism transform one rock type into another or change sediments into rock. The rock cycle describes the transformations of one type of rock to another. The process by which a rock changes form or mineral content as a result of environmental changes such as heat and pressure. a rock that was altered by metamorphism.
