Answer:

D. Antenna pigments allow more wavelengths of light and more photons to be captured, increasing the efficiency of light capture.

Explanation:

The photosynthetic pigments can be part of the antenna pigments or part of the reaction center. The role of the antenna pigments (large number of protein-bound pigment molecules) is to absorb photons and transfer their energy to the reaction center. Simply saying, antenna pigments are light-harvesting complexes. They are composed of polypeptides, that bind chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotene and xanthophylls.

What type of diffusion is aided with a transport protein?
babymother [125]

Facilitated diffusion is the diffusion of solutes through transport proteins in the plasma membrane. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport. Even though facilitated diffusion involves transport proteins, it is still passive transport because the solute is moving down the concentration gradient.

DNA samples should be stored in an airtight containers to prevent contamination true or false
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer: True

Explanation:

DNA is a biological evidence. It is a heredity material which is present in all organisms on earth. The DNA in humans can be taken as sample from nails, bones, blood, skin, hair and other sources.

The DNA samples can be taken so as to establish the identity of the culprit, victim or any one which is associated with crime.

The DNA evidence has applicability as a potent evidence in the court of law. Thus utmost care should be taken to preserve it's integrity until it is analysed and presented in the court of law.

Thus the DNA evidence should be collected and preserved in airtight containers so as to prevent the entry of airborne pathogens like bacteria, virus these can contaminate the sample evidence and can make the evidence not of any use.
