Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The amount of light available to Chlorella culture might affect the growth dynamics of the alga <u>because the light is an important factor necessary for the synthesis of carbohydrates and other important molecules in the body of the organism.</u>

The process of synthesizing carbohydrates is termed photosynthesis and during this process, the energy of light is used to excite the photosystem of the chlorophyll of the organism, leading to the release of electrons whose energy is used to synthesize an energy molecule that is utilized in the latter part of the photosynthetic process. The entire process of photosynthesis can be summarised as an equation below:

$6CO_2 + 6H_2O + light --> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2$

<em>The manufactured carbohydrates act as food for the organism and are broken down during respiration to release energy necessary to drive metabolic processes that bring about growth and development.</em>

Hence, the amount of light is an important factor that might affect the growth dynamics of all green plants, including the Chlorella.

How does the Foucault Pendulum show that the Earth rotates?

egoroff_w [7]

The Foucault Pendulum show that the Earth rotates because the pendulum would swing so slowly that it would appear to change direction as the Earth moved away.

<h3>How does the Foucault pendulum work?</h3>

The Foucault pendulum was able to demonstrate experimentally that the Earth revolves around itself with an angular velocity Ω, in a period of 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4 seconds.

Thus, Foucault knew that the longer the string attached to the weight, the slower the swing of his pendulum. He could attach the string above to an almost frictionless pin, and if he used a very large weight, the pendulum would swing so slowly that it would appear to change direction as the Earth moved away.

Which factors are responsible for high and low tides?

Vaselesa [24]

The following diagram shows how the moon causes tides on Earth: In this diagram, you can see that the moon's gravitational force pulls on water in the oceans so that there are "bulges" in the ocean on both sides of the planet. The moon pulls water toward it, and this causes the bulge toward the moon.
