What is the process of photosynthesis

1 answer:

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

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.
