Why dont plants photosynthesise in the dark

Biology
1 answer:
nignag [31]3 years ago
6 0

Plants respire all the time, whether it is dark or light, because their cells need energy to stay alive. But they can only photosynthesize when they have light.

The oxidation of water occurs during photosynthetic electron transport during the light reactions of photosynthesis. In the absence of a source of light energy (dark reactions have no direct requirement for light energy), oxygen is not produced.

Answer:

0.062 moles of hydrogen gas

Explanation:

We must first out down the reaction equation before we can attempt to solve the problem.

Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) ----> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Next we obtain the number of moles in 1.5 g of magnesium metal from;

Molar mass of magnesium = 24.3 gmol-1

Number of moles of magnesium= mass/molar mass = 1.5g/24.3gmol-1 = 0.062 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of magnesium metal yields 1 mole of hydrogen gas

0.062 moles of magnesium metal will yield 0.062 moles of hydrogen gas

Therefore, reaction of 1.5g of magnesium metal with excess hydrochloric acid will yield 0.062 moles of hydrogen gas.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: The options are not given, here are the options.

A. One species is much better competitor than the other.

B. Periodic disturbances allow for coexistence.

C. Two species tended to use different resources.

D. The two species experienced interference competition and not exploitative competition.

The correct option C.

Two species tended to use different resources.

Explanation:

From Gause experiments on competing paramecium pairs, He found out that most times both species persisted and sometimes only one did because the two species uses different resources.

Organisms normally compete for limited resources in order to survive and one intend to compete well while other suffer. Both in the case of competing paramecium pairs, the pair use different resources which make the to persist and survive well. Once the resource of one finishes, the other one will persist because it is still surviving on its available resources.

What will be the percentage of potassium-40 remaining after 3.9 billion years?
Papessa [141]
Potassium-40 has a half life of 1.251×billion<span> years</span><span>. To determine the percentage potassium-40 remaining after 3.9 billion years, divide
3.9 by 1.251, = 3.12.

This is the number of times the original amount of potassium-40 reduces by 50%. The remaining percentage is therefore 100%/(3.12 * 2) = 16.03%.</span>

Descending colon is found between the transverse and sigmoid colon on the left side of the abdominal cavity.

<h3>What are the components of large intestine?</h3>

The cecum, colon, rectum, and anus are the components of the large intestine. Mesenteries are tissue folds that hold the colon and rectum in the belly.

Caecum: The colon and ileum (the last part of the small intestine) are connected by a pouch-like channel called the cecum.

Colon: The longest part of the large intestine is the colon. There are 4 sections in the colon-

  • Ascending colon: The colon begins with the ascending colon. It is located on the abdomen's right side. It continues upward until it reaches the hepatic flexure, a bend in the colon.
  • Transverse colon: Following the ascending colon and hepatic flexure is the transverse colon. The upper portion of the abdomen is where it is located. The splenic flexure, a bend in the colon, marks its conclusion.
  • Descending colon: The transverse colon and splenic flexure are followed by the descending colon. The abdomen's left side is where it is located.
  • Sigmoid colon: The colon's final section, the sigmoid colon, joins to the rectum.

Rectum: The lower portion of the large intestine that joins the sigmoid colon is known as the rectum. Its length is roughly 15 cm (6 in). It takes waste from the colon and keeps it there until the anus allows it to leave the body.

Anus: The aperture at the bottom end of the rectum known as the anus is where feces exits the body.
