The correct answer is : Light energy is captured by plants; light energy is converted to chemical energy.
In the process of photosynthesis, special pigment molecule called chlorophyll can capture the energy of the light, more specifically the photon. When a particle of light (a photon) with a specific energy reaches this pigment in the leaves of plants, the energy is transferred from the particle to the molecule, and the molecule becomes excited. This is the phase where the energy of the light is captured and transformed into chemical energy that can later be used to make sugars.
All of the later chemical processes that transfer the energy from the excited chlorophyll to the sugar molecules are not dependent on the light and can happen during the night as well.
Answer:
The answer would be B. Earth is an electromagnet.
Explanation:
The Earth is a giant electromagnet. It's electromagnetic field is generated from the currents of electricity coming from molten metal flowing in the outer core of our Earth. The heat from the inner core causes convection and that is how electric current flows within Earth.
As a form of anaerobic respiration, glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm. The end products (net) are 2 molecules of ATP, 2 molecules of NADH, and 2 molecules of pyruvate.
Answer:
63.55 amu
Explanation:
The average atomic mass of an element can be calculated by multiplying the decimal abundance of each isotope of that element by the relative atomic mass and summing them up. That is;
Average atomic mass = {atomic mass of isotope 1 × decimal abundance of Isotope 1} + {atomic mass of isotope 2 × decimal abundance of isotope 2}
According to this question, two most abundant isotopes of copper contain 34 and 36 neutrons. The atomic mass of each isotope can be found by adding the no. of neutrons to the atomic number/proton no., which is 29.
Atomic mass of Isotope 1= 34 + 29 = 63
Atomic mass of Isotope 2= 36 + 29 =65
Decimal abundance of each isotope = percentage abundance ÷ 100
Isotope 1 (with 34 neutrons) = 72.5% = 72.5/100 = 0.725
Isotope 2 (with 36 neutrons) = 100 - 72.5 = 27.5% = 27.5/100 = 0.275
Therefore, the average atomic mass
= {63 × 0.725} + {65 × 0.275}
= {45.675} + {17.875}
= 63.55
Hence, the average atomic mass of copper is 63.55 amu
