Answer:

The cones detect the brightness and the rods the colors.

Explanation:

Thanks to a layer of photoreceptors inside the eye, it is able to convert the captured light into brain signals.

There are two types of photoreceptors: rods and cones.

Rods: they allow the human eye to have a visual acuity (the eye's ability to resolve and perceive small details in an object) and to differentiate <u>colors</u>.
Cones: are in charge of detecting the <u>intensity of the light</u>. They are very numerous and are very sensitive. Not being able to distinguish colors, they give rise to an achromatic vision.

Rods work very well in darkness/ low light. Cones process colors.

The epithelial cells in the skin of an animal have 24 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are present in the gametes of this anima

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

There will be 12 chromosomes

Explanation:

We have given that The epithelial cells in the skin of an animal have 24 chromosomes

We have to find the number of chromosomes present in the gametes of this animal

We know that number of chromosomes present in the gametes is given by

$\frac{number\ of\ chromosmes\ present\ in\ skin}{2}$

So number of chromosomes in gametes $=\frac{24}{2}=12chromosomes$

ATP hydrolysis _______.

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is to ADP and Pi is the most common mechanism for transferring free energy to drive endergonic reactions.

Explanation:

Many endergonic reactions(the free energy change of these reactions are highly positive) proceed in a thermodynamically unfavorable manner.

To make those reactions thermodynamically favorable,these reactions are coupled with hydrolysis of high energy compound such as hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi.

As a result the free energy change of those reactions becomes negative which allow those reactions to proceed in a thermodynamically favorable manner.
