Answer:

a. <u>A</u><u> describes the effect of light intensity on photosynthesis.</u>

Explanation:

In plants and other primary producers, photosynthesis is a biological mechanism that is vital to energy production. Energy-containing carbohydrates are derived from light, water and carbon dioxide in the form of glucose molecules.

The waste product oxygen is released as a result. Photosynthesis depends on many variables, including:

  • carbon dioxide concentration,
  • ambient temperature
  • and light intensity

It is a rate-limited reaction. Since photons or particles of light provide the energy required for the reaction, high intensities of light increase the photosynthetic rate. From the graph shown, as <u><em>the intensity increases steadily, so does the rate</em></u>- but at too high of an intensity, it ceases to affect the rate of photosynthesis, which becomes constant or plateaus.

Beyond this point, either the supply of <em>carbon dioxide or the temperature</em> limits the reaction. For instance, at high intensities tissues may even be damaged by high temperatures or heat.

The peripheral nervous system is involved in _____.
drek231 [11]

The peripheral nervous system is involved in both <u>voluntary and involuntary actions.</u>

Explanation:

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the neural system that resides outside the central nervous system (CNS). This contains nerves which in turn connect with the organs of the body like the sensory organs, glands, blood vessels, muscles etc with the central nervous system (CNS).

The PNS is divided into somatic and autonomic nervous systems.

The somatic nervous system contains sensory and motor nerve fibers which send sensory information and controls motor functions respectively. The voluntary movements of skin, skeletal muscles, bones, and joints are controlled by somatic PNS.

The autonomic nervous system composed of sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric nervous systems controls the involuntary actions of smooth muscles of the internal visceral organs.

Why is using kilometers a problem in space
Annette [7]
Using kilometers in space is useless, as the distances between objects is drastically incred. A lightyear is 9.5 kilometers. It is simpler to say "Alpha Centauri is 4.1 light years away" than it is to say "Alpha Centauri is 28.95 Trillion kilometers away"<span />
