Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of

algae to different wavelengths of light. He added aerobic bacteria and then noted in which areas the bacteria congregated. He noted that the largest groups were found in the areas illuminated by the red and blue light.
What did Engelmann conclude about the congregation of bacteria in the red and blue areas?A) Bacteria released excess carbon dioxide in these areas.B) Bacteria congregated in these areas due to an increase in the temperature of the red and blue light.C) Bacteria congregated in these areas because these areas had the most oxygen being released.D) Bacteria are attracted to red and blue light and thus these wavelengths are more reactive than other wavelengths.E) Bacteria congregated in these areas due to an increase in the temperature caused by an increase in photosynthesis.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The aerotaxis movement experiment performed by the Theodor W. Engelmann played an important role in understanding the photosynthesis.

The experiment was performed on the <em>Spirogyra </em>filamentous algae which were exposed to a different wavelength of light.

The other aerobic bacteria present in the test tubes started moving and accumulated near the two regions of the <em>Spirogyra</em> where they were exposed to the blue and red light of the VIBGYOR.

The region receiving red and blue light produced more oxygen through photosynthesis which indicated that these two wavelengths of the light are more active for photosynthesis than any other wavelengths.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Monozygotic twins are __________, while dizygotic twins are __________. the result of mitosis; the result of meiosis fraternal;
Marrrta [24]
I think the correct answer would be the last option. Monozygotic twins are identical, while dizygotic twins are fraternal. Identical twins involves developing from one zygote where it splits, forming two embryos so that the twins would have more or less the same characteristics. This type of twins can share the same amniotic sac depending on the time the fertilized egg is divided. On the other hand, fraternal twins developed from two eggs wherein they are being fertilized by two different sperm cells resulting to twins which has different characteristics. For this type, the two fertilized eggs would develop separate amniotic sacs.

<span>The correct answer is A, B and D. Biogeochemical cycles are central to the ecology of earth system. They make the essentail elements accessible and available for the organisms, and maintain their levels, so that the ecology is ot disrupted. The elements move through abiotic and biotic factors, in these cycles, and a state of equilibrium is maintained n the ecosystem. The carbon dioxide levels are responsible fr the temperature of the earth. If Carbon cycles would not have existed, then there would have been a disruption in maintaining the global temperature. Biogeochemical cycles basically continuously recycles the essential materials, for sustaining the life-forms.</span>
