The right answer is to perform photosynthesis (more precisely to convert ADP to ATP by ATP synthase).

Light comes to us in the form of photons. These photons have a different energy potential depending on their wavelength.

When a pigment picks up a photon corresponding to its absorption capacity, one of its electrons goes into the excited state. This energy can be transmitted in 3 ways: either by spreading it in the form of photon or heat; both ways lose energy. The third is to transmit resonance energy and there is almost no loss of energy.

A photosystem consists of a reaction center and a collector antenna to optimize the absorption of photons triggering photochemical reactions in order to operate the ATP synthase to produce ATP in the presence of a hydrogen gradient.

Answer:

I would expect to see a new phenotype in which the new duck hybrid species would express a new mixed courtship dance with the behaviors of both parentals.

Explanation:

The cross between both parentals, each from different species, might produce a new phenotype that exhibits both parental dances. The new dance might be considered a hybrid of the parental dances.

Genetically speaking, we can think that there is a gene codifying for the courtship behavior in one species and another gene expressing a different courtship behavior in the other species. This cross´ product would be a hybrid species that exhibits a part of both parentals´ behaviors.

Spiders have _____ to absorb salts and wastes while humans have microscopic subunits in the kidneys called _____ to filter blood

natta225 [31]

Spiders have malpighian tubules to absorb salts and wastes while humans have microscopic subunits in the kidneys called nephrons to filter blood. Malpighian tubules remove wastes from insects by producing urine and solid nitrogenous waste, which are then excreted from the body.

A man who has male pattern baldness (X^bY) marries a woman who does not carry the allele (X^BX^B). What genotypic ratios would b

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

2 $X^BX^b$ :2 $X^BY$

Explanation:

The genotypic ratio of expected of their offspring would be 2 $X^BX^b$ :2 $X^BY$ .

From the illustration, the genotype of the man with male pattern baldness is $X^bY$ while the genotype of the woman without the baldness allele is $X^BX^B$ .

Crossing the two genotypes in marriage:

$X^bY$ x $X^BX^B$

Progeny: $X^BX^b$ $X^BX^b$ $X^BY$ $X^BY$

Hence, the genotypic ratio of the offspring becomes:

2 $X^BX^b$ :2 $X^BY$
