Chlorophyll a is the primary plant pigment capturing light

Biology
1 answer:
-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Where does first pass metabolism occur? / what route of administration is used to avoid complete first pass metabolism?
snow_tiger [21]
First pass metabolism of a drug is said to occur when the concentration of a drug that is administered orally is significantly reduced before it reaches the systemic circulation. 
First pass metabolism usually occur in the liver.
The routes of drug administration that avoid complete first pass metabolism are: sublingual, transdermal, rectal and inhalation.

fiasKO [112]

<u>Answer</u>: option B they have a random gene mutation that affects their fur colour.

<u>Explanation</u> :-

  • <em>Variation</em> is the phenomena which occurs in all populations.
  • These variations result in slight differences in the phenotypes of individuals .
  • These variations only arise due to <em>random mutations </em>that arise in the individuals’ genome and then can be inherited by their offspring.
  • There is always a probability of one particular trait to make the individuals survive better in the environment as compared to other trait.
  • The individuals having the trait that helps them to survive better in the environment tend to survive more and leave more progeny. This is termed as <em>survival of the fittest</em>.
  • Thus, according to the question it can be inferred that the dark fur colour arose due to a <em>random mutation </em>since it is the only source of variation. Since, in the given environmental conditions the mice having the dark fur colour were less susceptible to the predators they are better fitted to survive.
  • The dark brown fur coat mice, survive better, leave more progeny and hence, increase their population with time. However, the orginal source of origin of this trait was a random mutation. Had this mutation not occured, the dark coloured fur mice would not have been there.

So, a <em>random gene mutation affecting the fur colour made the dark coloured mice first appear in the population.</em>

What would be first three amino acids in the protein formed from this gene? UTC GTU TTG
Andrews [41]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The three amino acid will be Tyrosine, Asparagine and Lysine respectively to sequence.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

UTC GTU TTG

First the thymine in the sequence is changed to A, adenine because in the mRNA only three types of nucleotides are allowed which are Adenine, thymine and Uracil.

So the sequence will be:

UAC GAU AAG

These codons will be read by tRNA producing the polypeptide sequence of amino acids which are as follow:

Tyrosine Asparagine Lysine.
