Upon exposure to blue light, plants not only begin to grow toward the light, but move their chloroplasts to the sunny side of ea
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

A) maximizes light absorption by the chloroplasts for photosynthesis

Explanation:

Chloroplasts are the double membrane-bound organelles present in the leaf cells. Chloroplasts contain light-absorbing pigment chlorophyll that absorbs maximum light of blue and red wavelengths.

Absorption of light by chlorophyll pigments drives the light reactions of photosynthesis which in turn provide ATP and NADPH to fix carbon dioxide gas into glucose by light-independent reactions. The process of photosynthesis produces glucose which in turn serves as an energy source for plants and supports their growth and development.

Therefore, exposure to blue light increases the rate of photosynthesis as chloroplasts in the leaf cells are aligned to absorb maximum blue light to support photosynthesis. And a higher rate of photosynthesis produces more glucose to support the growth of the plants.

Why is an angioplasty an incorrect treatment for an aneurysm?
Pavel [41]
<span>Angioplasty is the technique of mechanically widening narrowed or obstructed arteries. This is the process of putting a balloon in your arteries to widen it for blood flow. So Angioplasty would not be the best way to treat an aneurysm because an aneurysm is a bubble full of blood. Angioplasty would not work.</span>
