Can humans ever directly see a photon?​

Biology
1 answer:
NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Yes humans can directly see a photon.

Explanation:

In fact, photons are the only things that humans can directly see. A photon is a bit of light. Human eyes are specifically designed to detect light.

This happens when a photon enters the eye and is absorbed by one of the rod or cone cells that cover the retina on the inner back surface of the eye.

For Example

  • When you look at a chair, you are not actually seeing a chair.
  • You are seeing a bunch of photons that have reflected off of the chair. 

Thus, Yes humans can directly see a photon.

High-energy electrons are transported from chlorophyll to other molecules in the chloroplast by
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be C.electron carriers such as NADP⁺.

High energy electrons are transported through electron transport chain embedded in a thylakoid membrane in order to produce energy rich compounds such as ATP and NADPH.

It is also called as light dependent reaction of photosynthesis. It includes four major protein complexes: photosystem II, photosystem I, cytochrome b6f complex, and ATP synthase.

The electron first gets excited from chlorophyll a present in the reaction center (P₆₈₀ and P₇₀₀) of two photosystems (PS II and PS I) . The electron in PS II is replenished by photolysis of water.

Different electron carriers (such as plastoquinone, plastocyanin, pheophytin, chlorophyll A₀ etc) are present which help in transferring this high energy electron from one complex to another. NADP⁺ is the final acceptor of the electron and gets reduced to NADPH.

NADPH and ATP are then used in dark reaction in order to fix carbon into sugars.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

If CRISPR is used to edit embryos or egg and sperm cells, the future generations are going to be affected as well. This is the biggest ethical concern regarding gene editing. As a result, the entire human species can be born with signs of gene modification procedures.

Ethical Concerns of CRISPR [Cons] Changes to the Germ-line Cells: Genetically modifications to human embryos and reproductive cells such as eggs and sperms are called germline editing. Changes to the germline can be passed to the next generation.

Define Heat, Thermal Energy, Conduction, Convection and Radiation
Leya [2.2K]
Heat:  it is a form of energy associated with the movement of atoms and molecules in any material.<span>The higher the temperature of a material, the faster the atoms are moving, and hence the greater the amount of energy present as </span>heat<span>. 

Thermal Energy: t</span>he internalenergy<span> of an object due to the kinetic </span>energy<span> of its atoms and/or molecules. The atoms and/or molecules of a hotter object have greater kinetic</span>energy<span> than those of a colder one, in the form of vibrational, rotational, or, in the case of a gas, translational motion.

Conduction: </span><span>the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.

Convection: </span>the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.

Radiation: the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization.

Hope this helped :)
