Answer: Option A.
The two types of chlorophyll are chlorophyll A and B.
Explanation:
Chlorophyll is the green pigments present in chloroplast (organelles) that is found in plants which is used for photosynthesis by reacting with carbon dioxide and water to produce carbohydrates. The two types of chlorophyll are; chlorophyii A and chlorophyll B.
Chlorophyll A is the primary photosynthetic pigment that absorb energy from blue- violet light and orange red lights wavelengths.
Chlorophyll B is the accessory pigment to receive energy and transmit it to chlorophyll A. Chlorophyll B absorbs energy from green lights wavelengths.
When something needs to be transported against its concentration gradient, or a molecule is too big to simply diffuse through a membrane, active transport has to be used. So active transport requires energy (ATP).
Examples:
1. Antiport pumps: transport one substance in one direction while transporting another substance the other way. An example of this is the sodium-potassium pump.
2. Symport pumps - uses a substance that wants to move from an area of high concentration to low concentration and carries another substance against its concentration gradient. An example of this is the sodium-glucose transport protein
3. Endocytosis - large amounts of extra cellular fluid can be taken into a cell - needs ATP to bind proteins in the cell membrane and causes them to change their shape...which eventually causes the surrounding of the fluid to be brought in (a vesicle).
4.exocytosis - opposite of above
Answer:
It contains partial positive and negative charges.
Explanation:
A hydrogen bond is a non-covalent bond between a partial negative charge and a partial positive charge. Hydrogen bonds tend to be weak. Hydrogen bonds tend to be transient.
Answer:
The Thymus is a unique gland which protects the body against autoimmunity when the immune system act against itself.Hence the Thymus plays a significant role the dual systems i.e.,the lymphatic system (body’s defensive mechanism) and the endocrine system
Explanation:
The Thymus is special gland located anteriorly to the chest directly behind the sternum and in between the lungs. Active until puberty and gradually shrinks to become fat after puberty.
Function: Prior to birth and during childhood thymus engage in producing and maturation of T-lymphocytes or T-cells a particular type of white blood cells which defence the body against infectious disease germs.Though the organ does not function throughout the life span but it plays a significant role protecting the body against autoimmunity refers to an immune system works against itself .Therefore the thymus plays a key role in lymphatic system and an endocrine system.
Secretion:Thymus secretes Thymosin a hormone it instigates the development of T-Cells ( disease resisting cells) Thymosin stimulates the development of T-Cells until a human attains its puberty.
At the age of 75 thymus becomes a fatty tissue.
