Answer:

Chlorophyll a absorbs maximum light in blue and red regions of the spectrum while reflecting the green light.

Explanation:

The light reflected by any object reaches our eyes. “Chlorophyll-a” molecules are the pigments that do not absorb the green light and reflect it. The reflected green light imparts the chlorophyll-rich leaves a green color.

Since the absorption peak for Chlorophyll-a lies in red and blue regions of the spectrum, the maximum rate of photosynthesis is experienced in the presence of red and blue wavelengths.

The light absorbed by Chlorophyll-a drives light reactions to produce ATP and NADPH which in turn are consumed during the Calvin cycle to fix CO2 into glucose.

What phase of the cell cycle comes before prophase stage of mitosis

77julia77 [94]

Hey.

Your anserw is interphase.

Mitosis has five different stages: interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. The process of cell division is only complete after cytokinesis, which takes place during anaphase and telophase. Each stage of mitosis is necessary for cell replication and division.

The term ""biomagnification"" means that a chemical ____ at each trophic level in a food chain or web.

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

Biomagnification refers to a phenomenon in which the harmful toxic chemical gest magnified or amplified or increases in the food chain trophic level.

The biomagnification is caused by the bio-accumulation of the toxic material in the organisms.

The harmful toxic chemical enters the food chain through eating like when the crops are sprayed with pesticides and insecticides runoff in the water. From there the toxic material enters the aquatic food chain like from the planktons to fish and then to vultures.

The organisms at higher trophic level die because of the accumulation of the infected lower trophic organisms.

Thus, Increases is the correct answer.

A pea plant with round seeds (Rr) is crossbred with another pea plant with wrinkled seeds (rr). What is the probability of offsp

Natasha_Volkova [10]

The offspring must have one gene from each parent. To find the possible genes for all offspring, list all possible combinations that have a gene from each parent:

(Rr) | (rr)

R | r
R | r

r | r
r | r

The question asks for the probability of the offspring having rr genes. There are 2 offspring that have these genes out of the 4 created. Divide 2 by 4, then multiply by 100:

$2 \div 4 = .5 \times 100 = 50$

There is a 50% chance of the offspring having wrinkled seeds.
