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:

negative feedback loop involving insulin and glucagon help to keep blood glucose levels within a narrow concentration range. If glucose levels get too high, the body releases insulin into the bloodstream.

3. (b) How does crossing over increase the variation in the gametes (and hence the offspring)?

sasho [114]

Answer:

During crossing over, part of one chromosome is exchanged with another. The result is a hybrid chromosome with a unique pattern of genetic material. Gametes gain the ability to be genetically different from their neighboring gametes after crossing over occurs.

The arrangement of homeotic genes along chromosomes of vertebrate and invertebrate animals corresponds to the expression pattern

Keith_Richards [23]

The arrangement of homeotic genes along chromosomes of vertebrate and invertebrate animals corresponds to the expression pattern of the genes along the anterior-posterior axis of the developing embryo.

<h3>What are homeotic genes?</h3>

Homeotic genes are a group of body pattern forming genes which control the development along the anterior- posterior axis of the developing embryo.
These encode transcription factors which control and specify the genes involved in body patterning. These provide identity to the segments during embryo formation.
Genes located in the 5’ end act on posterior side whereas the genes on 3’ end act on anterior region.
Homeotic genes are evolutionary conserved and control body specification, patterning and differentiation.
The loss of function of any of the gene changes the body pattern and affects the development.
