Chlorophyll ‘a’ is serves as the <u>main light-absorbing pigment for photosynthesis. </u>

<u> </u>

Further Explanation:

<u>Photosynthesis is a biological process that can be used by plants and other organisms such as blue green algae for the conversion of light energy into chemical energy for the formation of their food.</u> For photosynthesis sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide is required. Chlorophyll ‘a’ is the main light-absorbing pigment for photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll serves as main light absorbing photosynthetic pigment. It plays an essential role in the transformation of light energy into chemical energy. It is found in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast of the plant cell. Chlorophyll ‘a’ is serves as the essential and primary pigment for photosynthesis whereas chlorophyll ‘b’ is serves as accessory pigment as it is not essentially required for photosynthesis.

All the photosynthetic organisms have chlorophyll ‘a’ rather than chlorophyll ‘b’. Chlorophyll ‘a’ acts as primary electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. As light is absorbed from the violet-blue as well as orange-red region of electromagnetic spectrum energy is transferred to the reaction center. Chlorophyll ‘a’ also donates two electrons in their excited state to the electron transport chain. In an electron transport chain, it captures solar energy of sun and transforms it into chemical energy that can be used by the photosynthetic organisms for further cellular processes.

<span>The main light-absorbing pigment for photosynthesis is known as chlorophyll. This light absorbing pigment is found in many organisms, primarily in a variety of plant and bacteria species. Chlorophyll is necessary because it allows the light to be absorbed and allow energy to be absorbed by the organism in order to carry out a multitude of metabolic processes.</span>

Sound quality can be divided
iris [78.8K]
Sound quality can be divided into amplitude, timbre and pitch. If there’s an impedance mismatch between your two devices connected to the single output, you could have a large mismatch between the levels arriving at each device. If the difference is large enough, one device may have distorted or inaudible audio.

To avoid this, you should ensure that both devices connected to the split signal are similar - such as 2 pairs of headphones, 2 recorder inputs, and so on. When you place 2 devices with wildly differing load impedances on a splitter is when you’ll encounter problems - such as headphones on one split and a guitar amp input on the other.

To get around this, you can use either a distribution amplifier (D.A.) or a transformer balanced/isolated splitter - which will work over a larger range of load impedances, typically. Depends on the quality of the splitter and the exact signal path. If you’re using the splitter to hook two things into one input, and you’re using quality connectors, you probably won’t lose much quality. There can be an increase in impedance of the cable due to the imperfect continuity of the physical connection, however with unbalanced line-level signals, impedance at both ends of the chain tends to be orders of magnitude higher than the connection will create, so one split will be barely noticeable. So too, the noise increase from the additional length of cable.

Now, one source into two inputs, that will by basic math and physics result in a 3dB drop in signal strength, which will reduce SNR by about that much. By splitting the signal path between two inputs of equal impedance, half of the wattage is being consumed by one input and half by the other (the equation changes if the inputs have significantly different impedances). So each input gets half the wattage produced by the source to drive the signal on the input cable, and in decibel terms a halving of power is a 3dB reduction. Significant, until you just turn the gain back up. The “noise floor” will be raised by however much noise is inherent in the signal path between the split and the output of the gain stage; for pro audio this is usually infinitesimal, but consumer audio can have some really noisy electronics, both for lower cost and because you’re not expected to be “re-amping” signals several times between the source and output.

Why do we need to classify organisms?
seraphim [82]
The classification of organisms is achieved in the branch of science called taxonomy. Classification is important  in order for future references and understanding of the common properties and characteristics of organisms for research and easy skimming of characteristics. This is for organization and convenience purposes
