Answer:
Option A, Start the reaction by absorbing light energy
Explanation:
Chlorophyll is a green color pigment in plant that helps in entrapping sunlight. Being green in color, it absorbs the blue and red light and reflects the green light. The molecules of chlorophyll gains energy from sunlight and then jumps to higher energy levels by the process known as photo excitation. These excited molecules get ionized to further initiate the process of photosynthesis.
Hence, option A is correct.
Answer:
decreases a plant’s weight
Explanation:
Aerobic respiration is a process of respiration in which oxygen is required and the byproducts of aerobic respiration are carbon dioxide, water and energy.
Plants undergo aerobic respiration and it is a catabolic process in which complex compounds in plants turns into simpler compounds. This process reduces the dry weight of the plants.
Glycolysis is the first step in both aerobic and anaerobic respiration so it is not a typical aerobic respiration.
Hence, the correct answer is "decreases a plant’s weight".
A. Shellfish will disappear first if an estuary was destroyed.
