Answer: Option B.

B. The chromaphore retinal absorbs a photon of light, causing a double bond in retinal to isomerize from trans to cis configuration.

Explanation:

Bacteriorhodopsin is a protein used by archaea or half bacteria that pumps proton across membrane by using the light energy from sun to move protons across membrane. It is found in purple membrane of archaea cells which is known as two dimensional crystalline patches.

It captures photon energy through chromophore retina which is covalently bound and transporting the photons against their electrochemical gradients from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space.

In a swamp a bird and a turtle feed on the same kind of fish. This will most likely result in Competition is an relations between organisms or species in which both need a resource that is in limited pool.

<h3>What is competition in an ecosystem?</h3>

Competition will happen between organisms in an ecosystem when their niches overlay , they both try to utilize the exact resource and the resource is in lack of supply.

Fuana contend for chow, water and area to live. flora contend for light, water, minerals and root area.

So,Competition is an relations between organisms or species in which both need a resource that is in limited pool.

Flura [38]

Answer:

Adaptive radiation is a process in which organisms diversify rapidly from an ancestral species into a multitude of new forms, particularly when a change in the environment makes new resources available, creates new challenges, or opens new environmental niches.
