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.

Is it true or false that Earths Climate systems are driven by the electromagnetic radiation from the sun, as well as its reflect
jasenka [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation is the primary energy source on Earth and the driver of the entire climate system.

The sun is also the source of energy that drives all life on Earth. This energy controls the weather, ocean currents and the hydrological cycle, influences our mood and daily activities.

The sun is a star, the same as the stars we see in the night sky, it is only much, much closer to us. It is nearly 150 million kilometers away from Earth. It is at the heart of our solar system and warms our planet enough that life can thrive on it. For over 4.5 billion years, this hot-ball of glowing plasma has been the engine of time, climate and life on Earth.

Are plants defenseless
lara31 [8.8K]
Some plants have thorns to prevent animals from eating them, others are poisonous, so no one goes near them, others cause rashes, so no one touches them...etc.

Different plants have different defense mechanisms.

So the answer to your question is NO.

Hope this helps!
