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.

How do mitosis and meiosis benefit a organisms survival 100pts AND BRAINLIEST
Svetach [21]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Mitosis is the duplication of cells in the bodies of plants and animals. All cells can undergo mitosis. Mitosis benefits the body by replacing cells as needed. The skin for example loses a lot of cells. Mitosis is when cells reproduce - and results in an exact copy - to replace the cells that are lost or need to be replaced for other reasons.

Meiosis is the duplication of cells that are not alike. In Mitosis, the duplicate cells are an exact copy, with a full exact copy of the body's DNA. In Meiosis, the new cells are different in that each one has half of the DNA - or half the number of chromosomes. Meiosis allows for the creation of cells that allows for sexual reproduction. Meiosis is the process that creates sperm and eggs. These cells are known as haploid cells - in that other cells are known as diploid, with full DNA and cells that have gone through the meiosis process have half and are known as haploid cells.

Hope this helps! Have an awesome day! :-)
