Ii) Explain briefly how these features contribute to the efficiency of photosynthesis?​

Biology

Answer:

here's your answer

Explanation:

the estimated maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis is the energy stored per mole of oxygen evolved, 117/450, or 26 percent.

Consequently, plants can at best absorb only about 34 percent of the incident sunlight. The actual percentage of solar energy stored by plants is much less than the maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis. An agricultural crop in which the biomass (total dry weight) stores as much as 1 percent of total solar energy received on an annual areawide basis is exceptional, although a few cases of higher yields (perhaps as much as 3.5 percent in sugarcane) have been reported. There are several reasons for this difference between the predicted maximum efficiency of photosynthesis and the actual energy stored in biomass. First, more than half of the incident sunlight is composed of wavelengths too long to be absorbed, and some of the remainder is reflected or lost to the leaves

padilas [110]

The equation is balanced because the mass and charge are equal on both sides of the reaction equation.

In a nuclear reaction, one nucleus is transformed into another. In this case of the equation shown, the radon nucleus is being transformed into a polonium nucleus with the emission of an alpha particle.

The equation is balanced because a total mass of 219 is found on both sides of the reaction equation and a total charge of 86. Recall that an alpha particle is the same as a helium nucleus with a mass of four units and a charge of two units.

With a tension pneumothorax, which factors contribute to severe hypoxia?
Rasek [7]
<span>Answer: continually increasing pressure on the unaffected lung.

In tension pneumothorax, the pressure is so high that it will push surrounding organ like another lung, heart, or blood vessels. Pushing another lung can make it less expandable, so less air can come inside and less oxygen can be gained.
Pushing heart and blood vessels can also disturb blood circulation.</span>
