The textbook the quantum efficiency for photosynthesis decreases abruptly when the wavelength of light being used becomes longer

the 680 nm. Which ONE of the following is the explanation for this "red drop"?
A. The reactions that extract electrons from water to make O2 take place in the photosystem that is activated by 680 nm light.
B. Red light inhibits photosynthesis.
C. Photosystem I requires 680 nm light
D. Red light is absorbed CO2 to initate the synthesis of carbohydrates.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- A

Explanation:

Red drop effect is the effect observed by the light present in the spectrum of the wavelength of red light. The effect is observed with the decrease in the quantum yield of the oxygen formed per quantum of light when the wavelength of light exceeds 680 nm.

The decrease of quantum yield is observed due to the fact that the oxygen is formed by the breakdown of the water molecule during light-dependent reaction which is initiated by the PS II which begins the chain at 680nm.

If light exceeds the 680 nm then, PS II will remain inactive and thus will abrupt the dissociation of the water molecule and thus the formation of oxygen during the light-dependent phase.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

What happens to energy that is released from food, but not captured and store into<br> ATP?
nignag [31]

Answer:

In conditions of low or no oxygen the process of anaerobic respiration occurs. The 'an' in 'anaerobic' means without. During anaerobic respiration, the oxidation of glucose is incomplete - not all of the energy can be released from the glucose molecule as it is only partially broken down.

An easy way to calculate the amount of energy available at each level is to
Contact [7]

Answer:

Use the rule that 10% of the energy is transferred between layers.

Explanation:

Energy is transferred between layers of a food pyramid. That means that the  producers at the bottom of the pyramid (e.g. green plants) provide energy to the primary consumers (e.g. rabbits), which are eaten by and provide energy to the secondary consumers (e.g. foxes).

However, very little of the energy is actually transferred to the next layer, roughly 10%. So an easy way to calculate the energy available at each level is to calculate 10% of what was available from the previous level. So if there is 600 kJ available from the primary consumers, then 60 kJ are transferred to the secondary consumers

if the following graph represents the decay of strontium-90 in an igneous rock, what event occurred at 0 years on the horizontal
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

At 0 years, an event took place which is known as metamorphosis of igneous rock i.e., formation of igneous rocks from melted magma.

Strontium-90 is a radioactive element which undergoes beta decay to form yttrium-90. It has a half life of approximately 28 years and decay energy of 0.546 MeV. This radioactivity is used by geologist to estimate the age of the rock, fossils, meteorites etc. Other radioactive elements used by the geologists are carbon-40, potassium-40 etc.

Radiometric clock is set when the rock was formed in the past i.e., the moment when an ingenious rock was solidified from molten magma.
