Answer:

A. donation of excited electrons by chlorophyll a to a primary electron acceptor

Explanation:

Photosystems are structures located at the thylakoid membrane that act to harvest energy light in order to convert it into chemical energy. Each photosystem is composed of a light-harvesting complex and a core complex, which in turn is composed of a reaction center. The photosynthetic reaction centers are multi-protein complexes that use light energy to catalyze the electron transfer across the chloroplast thylakoid membrane against a thermodynamic gradient. Moreover, antenna pigments are pigments that capture the energy from photons in order to transfer energy to other pigments in the photosystem (e.g., chlorophyll B and carotenes are antenna pigments, whereas chlorophyll A is the core pigment). Light energy absorbed by antenna pigments in the photosystems is transferred to the reaction center chlorophyll A molecules, thereby exiting electrons in the reaction center. A reaction center consists of two chlorophyll A molecules, which donate electrons to the primary electron acceptor.

PLZ HELP ASAP!! Environmental factors can influence the gene expression in some organisms.
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The greatest of environmental factors on phenotype is on phenotypic plasticity, phenotypes that may change due to changes in the environment; ex: snowshoe hare have brown-colored fur in summer/spring and white fur in winter. Environmental factors may affect gene expression which may result in normal/abnormal phenotypic changes.
