What is the process of photosynthesis

Biology
1 answer:
never [62]3 years ago
6 0
This is the process of making glucose in plants. Photosynthesis goes through two individual stages:  
Stage 1: Light dependent reaction (depends on the presence of light; it can’t happen in the dark) 
Stage 2: Light independent (dark reaction) (works in the absence of light, but calling it a dark reaction might be misleading; It can just as well happen in the presence of light).

An owl has good night vision because its eyes can detect a light intensity as small as 5.0 × 10-13 W/m2. What is the minimum num
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34

Explanation:

Light intensity, I_{min} =  5\times 10^{-13} W/m^{2}

Pupil has a diameter, d = 8.5 mm

                                      = 8.5 x 10^{-3} m

Radius of the eye, r = 4.25 x 10^{-3} m

∴ Area of the eye, A = \pi .r^{2}

                                 = 3.14\times \left ( 4.25\times 10^{-3} \right )^{2}

                                = 5.6\times 10^{-5} m^{2}

Let P_{min} be the minimum number of photons.

Therefore, P_{min} = I_{min} x A

                                              = 5\times 10^{-13} x 5.6\times 10^{-5}

                                             = 2.8\times 10^{-17} W

Thus the minimum number of photons is given by

N_{min}=P_{min}/E

where E = hc/\lambda

             = \left (6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}  \right )/548\times 10^{-9}

            = 3.62\times 10^{-19} J

Therefore, N_{min} = \frac{2.8\times 10^{-17}}{3.62\times 10^{-19}}

                                              = 77.34 photons per second

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34

Is it possible to switch blood types
vesna_86 [32]

I do not believe so because it is genetic, just you can't forever change a feature without plastic surgery or an accident, etc.

Sloths have less muscle than other mammals their size in order to _______.
o-na [289]
A.
conserve energy

The smaller muscle mass of the sloth, means that it needs less energy to work, allowing it to be able to survive on a less diet.
Most of their muscles are concentrated in their upper body, allowing them to be efficient climbers but very slow on the ground.
