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.

Gases are a unique state of matter because the volume of a gas can be compressed or expanded based on its temperature. Jacque Ch
just olya [345]

Explanation:

Since Charles found that the volume is directly proportional to temperature when the mass and pressure remain constant this means that with increase in temperature, there will be increase in volume.

Mathematically,       V \propto T at constant Pressure

This equation represents the relationship in Charles' law.

Human birth weights range very narrowly between 5.5 and 8.5 pounds. Babies much smaller than 5.5 lbs. suffer a higher mortality
Margarita [4]

Answer:

a.  Stabilizing selection

Explanation:

Babies lower than 5.5lbs would suffer from various disorder because of low birth weight as their body would not be able to compete as well they would have weak immune system and malnourishment. Whereas high birth weight carry the equally above risk as their body wont be able to cope up and organs become insensitive to various hormones. for the survival the birth weight should be within a median range so that it would be favorable for themselves and surroundings.

Stabilizing selection occurs when a population stabilizes on a particular trait value and genetic diversity decreases. As in this example, an average baby weight has to favour against extreme variation for it's better survival.

therefore, this is an example of stabilizing selection.
