<span>If you were to look down at the plane of the solar system from its 'north pole' you would see the planets orbiting the Sun counter clockwise, and rotating on their axis counterclockwise. Except for Venus. Venus would be rotating clockwise as it orbited the Sun counterclockwise. Venus is not alone. The axis of Uranus is inclined so far towards the plane of the solar system that it almost rolls on its side as it orbits the Sun.</span>

The planets in our solar system including the Earth and the Mercury rotates around its axis in the counter-clockwise direction, except for Venus. The Venus rotates around its axis in clockwise direction rather the rotating counterclockwise like the Earth. The tilt of the Venus might be responsible for this rotating direction.

Hence, the answer is 'Venus rotates in clockwise direction and the Earth rotates in counterclockwise direction'.

Select the most accurate statement describing the basic function of the light reactions of photosynthesis. Select the most accur
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The basic function of the light reactions of photosynthesis is the conversion of solar energy to chemical energy.

Explanation:

In photosynthesis, the light energy is captured by chlorophyll pigment which is present in the thylakoid membrane. Then this light energy is used split water which releases the electron that enters the electron transport chain. Then electrons move through several electron carriers and helps to generates NADPH and ATP.  

These NADPH and ATP are used in the Calvin cycle to fix the carbon into carbohydrates like glucose. Glucose molecules is then used by the plant to get energy source and to make structural components like cell wall. Therefore during photosynthesis solar energy is converted into chemical energy like glucose.
