Answer:

The light reactions of many algae differ from those of land plants because some of them use different pigments to harvest light. Chlorophylls absorb primarily blue and red light, whereas carotenoids absorb primarily blue and green light, and phycobiliproteins absorb primarily blue or red light. Since the amount of light absorbed depends upon the pigment composition and concentration found in the alga, some algae absorb more light at a given wavelength, and therefore, potentially, those algae can convert more light energy of that wavelength to chemical energy via photosynthesis. All algae use chlorophyll a to collect photosynthetically active light. Green algae and euglenophytes also use chlorophyll b. In addition to chlorophyll a, the remaining algae also use various combinations of other chlorophylls, chlorophyllides, carotenoids, and phycobiliproteins to collect additional light from wavelengths of the spectrum not absorbed by chlorophyll a or b. The chromophyte algae, dinoflagellates, cryptomonads (class Cryptophyceae), and the class Micromonadophyceae, for example, also use chlorophyllides. (Chlorophyllides, often incorrectly called chlorophylls, differ from true chlorophylls in that they lack the long, fat-soluble phytol tail that is characteristic of chlorophylls.) Some green algae use carotenoids for harvesting photosynthetically active light, but the Dinophyceae and chromophyte algae almost always use carotenoids. Phycobiliproteins, which appear either blue (phycocyanins) or red (phycoerythrins), are found in red algae and cryptomonads.

What substances transported by plants 1) xylem vessels and trachieds? 2) sieve tubes of phloem?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

xylem vessels transport water and nutrient from roots to the other parts of the plant

trachieds are elongated in the xylem of vascular plant that play role in the transport of water and mineral salt

seive tube are the elongated living cells of the phloem in the flowering plant  they are the conduits of food (mostly sugar) transport

Complete oxidation of C6H12O6 to H20 + CO2
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

A. Cell respiration

Explanation:

Cell respiration is the process wherein glucose (C6H12O6) is completely oxidized into water and carbon dioxide. The process occurs in three steps namely, glycolysis, Kreb's cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.  

Glycolysis breaks down the glucose into pyruvate. The pyruvate enters link reaction and is converted into acetyl CoA. The acetyl CoA enters the Kreb's cycle and is completely oxidized into CO2 and H2O. The energy released during these reactions is stored in the form of ATP, NADP, and FADH2.
