Explain briefly how these features contribute to the efficiency of photosynthesis?​

Biology
1 answer:
barxatty [35]3 years ago

Answer:

here's your answer

Explanation:

the estimated maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis is the energy stored per mole of oxygen evolved, 117/450, or 26 percent.

Consequently, plants can at best absorb only about 34 percent of the incident sunlight. The actual percentage of solar energy stored by plants is much less than the maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis. An agricultural crop in which the biomass (total dry weight) stores as much as 1 percent of total solar energy received on an annual areawide basis is exceptional, although a few cases of higher yields (perhaps as much as 3.5 percent in sugarcane) have been reported. There are several reasons for this difference between the predicted maximum efficiency of photosynthesis and the actual energy stored in biomass. First, more than half of the incident sunlight is composed of wavelengths too long to be absorbed, and some of the remainder is reflected or lost to the leaves

10. Researchers observe a large population of birds on a remote island. Birds in the population are found to have either red cre
IgorLugansk [536]
Suppose that the proportion of the white crest alleles (r) is given by w and that of the Red crest allele (R) is given by p. We have that p+w=1. The probability that an individual has 2 r alleles is given by w*w since for each allele position the probability is w. Only these individuals have a White phenotype. Hence, we get that w^2=\frac{1759}{1759+11088}; the right hand side is the proportion of white birds in the total population. Doing the calculations, this yields that w=0.37. From this, we calculate that p=0.63. The possible ways we have heterozygous individuals are the combinations Rr and rR. The probability for each of those is p*w. Thus, the total probability is 2pw. This is equal to 0.466=0.47. This is the fraction of the future population that is going to be heterozygous assuming the conditions of the Handy-Weinberg equilibrium like random reproductive matching etc.

Which of the letters above best models a molecule of water moving into the membrane via an aquaporin?​
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Letter B.

Explanation:

Aquaporins, also known as "water channels," are the main transport of water through the membranes of plant, animal, and bacterial cells. These channels allow the water to travel into and within cells and, at the same time, exclude the passage of ions and solutes.

What makes letter B the correct answer, is the form of transport and shape of the channel that allow water according to the osmotic gradient. In this model, letter A shows simple diffusion, while C and D seem to illustrate gated channels.

What do you need to do to find the mass of a liquid? What do you need to do to find the mass of a liquid? (2 points)
galina1969 [7]

<em><u>ANSWER</u></em>

ln most cases inorder to obtain the mass of a liquid one measures the mass of both the liquid and the container it is in and after wards remeasures the container alone and later subtract the mass of the container alone from the total mass of both the container and the liquid
