The set of Wavelength is absorbed by pigment. So in a typical leaf some pigment can’t be visible.

There are mainly three types of key pigments in photosynthesis. These three key pigments are Chlorophyll a, Chlorophyll b, and β-carotene. Those set of wavelengths which is not absorbed by pigment and finally it is reflected and that reflected light is what we see as a color.

The reason behind color of plant looking green because it contains huge amount of chlorophyll a and b molecule. It reflects the green light.

Why does catalase function most efficiently at the pH level of 7

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer: Catalase functions the best at the pH of 7 because the pH of 7 is not too acidic or alkaline. It is on the normal scale, like water. Catalase can't be placed in an acidic liquid. It can not be placed in an alkaline liquid either.

Hope this helps!

Which word equation summarizes the dehydration of a carbohydrate?

amm1812

Answer:

The word Glycosydic linkage summarizes the dehydration of carbohydrate.

Explanation:

Dehydration means elimination of water. During glycosydic linkage two Monosaccharides are linked with each other by the elimination of one molecule of water.

For exam in maltose two glucose molecules are linked with each other in which the -OH group of C4 atom of one glucose molecule interact with the -OH group of C1 carbon of another glucose molecule resulting in the formation of Alpha 1,4 glycosydic bond.
