Answer:

Eustachian tube

Explanation:

Eustachian tube is the auditory tube, that connects middle ear with nasopharynx. The main role of the Eustachian tube is to regulate and maintain the pressure in the ear (it equalizes the pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere). The tube is usually closed, but it opens when we swallow and chew. It also opens with positive pressure.

Blockage of the Eustachian tube can lead to discomfort or even hearing problems.

The absence of which of these will not affect photosynthesis is - oxygen, Carbon dioxide, water, Chlorophyll, light. Give reason
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Oxygen

Explanation:

Oxygen is the by product of photolysis during photosynthesis whereby water molecules are split to form protons (H+ ions), electrons and oxygen (by product).

Oxygen is not needed during any of the reactions in photosynthesis and Calvin cycle and will not affect the rate of photosynthesis or possibility of photosynthesis occurring. However, it will affect the process of aerobic respiration instead.

Carbon dioxide is needed in carbon fixation during the Calvin cycle. Without it, 6 carbon sugars cannot be formed.

Water is needed for photolysis to produce protons (maintain the electrochemical gradient) and electrons (to replenish lost electrons)

Chlorophyll are pigments that harvest light energy to excite electrons produced from photolysis of water to be passed down the electron transport chain.

Light is needed as a source of energy to energise the electrons
