The pigments have a similar
structure of 40 carbon atoms covalently bonded in a chain. Carotenoids contain oxygen atoms in their chemical structure (retinyl functional group) while
xanthophyll does not. This makes carotenoids more non-polar compared to xanthophylls,
hence move farthest in chromatography
paper using a nonpolar mobile phase. Chlorophyll
pigment, on the other hand, has chlorin rings (which are larger) as functional
units hence move slowly in chromatography.
Photosynthetic rates
can be measured by either the amount of
oxygen they consume per particular time period
or the amount of carbon dioxide produced per particular time period. This
is conducted while immersed in water so
as to measure bubble rate formation in case of oxygen production or the change
in water pH in the case of carbon dioxide consumption.
When autumn approaches, the amount
sunlight received by the plant is reduced due to longer night than days. Deciduous trees have adapted by losing
chlorophyll a and b pigments (most important in photosynthesis)
during this time. This leaves a higher amount of the other red and yellow pigments hence making the leaves change from
green to yellow-red.
It is believed that this
is the result of an ancient endosymbiotic
relationship between a protist and a
eukaryotic cell. The protist generates energy
that the eukaryotic can utilize in its growth and reproduction while
the protist is sheltered. This relationship became obligatory symbiosis over
time.
Answer:
Healthy proteins are inserted into a patient since their DNA does not produce the right proteins.
Explanation:
Answer:
1. are heterozygous for the disease.
Explanation:
<em>Since the disease causes the death of chicks before hatching, it means that those with the disease cannot be found in the population. In order for the allele of the disease to be passed from generation to generation, there must be parent birds that are carrying the disease in heterozygous state.</em>
Option 1 is the correct option.
Answer: Plant grass and lay straw at the sites.
Explanation:
Runoff is a flow over of water or any other liquid over a surface causing erosion. The flow of water is of high speed and rapid. It is not absorbed by the soil.
Plant grass and lay straw at the sites is the correct option this is because of the fact that the grass and lay straw will absorb the runoff water and prevent the erosion.
