Answer is D. Light travels more slowly in Medium A than in Medium B because Medium A is dense.

When light travels from a medium of low refractive index to a medium of high refractive index, it slows down in the latter and bends towards the vertical. The extent to which the light ray bends is directly related to the medium's refractive index (or the optical density).

Lets understand the given passage.

A rectangle labeled Medium A is drawn on the left. A ray of light travels through air and strikes the surface of medium A making an angle of 50 degrees with the vertical. The light ray bends towards the vertical as it travels through Medium A and makes an angle of about 15 degrees with the vertical. A rectangle labeled Medium B is drawn on the right. A ray of light travels through air and strikes the surface of medium B making an angle of 50 degrees with the vertical. The light ray bends towards the vertical as it travels through Medium B and makes an angle of about 25 degrees with the vertical.

The light bends more in medium A than medium B. Hence medium A is optical denser than medium B.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules, from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, through a partially permeable membrane. A dilute solution contains a high concentration of water molecules, while a concentrated solution contains a low concentration of water molecules.

Some photosynthetic bacteria contain the protein bacteriorhodopsin, which absorbs light and pumps protons out of the cell direct
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Bacteriorhodopsin is one of the simplest protein from a family of a protein called opsin which is present in photosynthetic bacteria, algae and few fungi.

The bacterio-rhodopsin acts as an active light-gated proton pump which can pump the protons against their concentration gradient and then establishes concentration gradient across the membrane.

When the photosynthetic bacteria gets exposed to the light, bacteriorhodopsin pumps the proton from the cytosolic side to outside. This establishes electric motive force across the membrane which causes disequilibrium of protons.

The protons move back from the outside of the membrane to inside through H+ATPase which help allow the generation of ATP in the cell.
