Answer:

This structure has not been highly beneficial for the organism

Explanation:

Vestigial structures are cells, tissues, and/or organs that have no apparent function. Vestigial structures are retained during the course of the evolution, but often they are degenerate and/or atrophied (due to disuse). In general, these structures are homologous to anatomical structures that play a specific role in evolutionarily related species. Some examples of vestigial structures include, among others, the presence of the appendix in humans and wings in flightless birds.

The wavelengths of light used in photosynthesis are found in the _________ portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
hoa [83]

Answer:

Visible light

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a unique phenomenon in which plants use sunlight energy, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation, to manufacture their food. During this process, certain pigments in the leaves of plants called CHLOROPHYLL absorbs the blue and red wavelengths of light ranging from 400nm - 700nm.

However, these wavelengths of light (blue and red) that are used during the photosynthetic process are found in the VISIBLE LIGHT PORTION of the electromagnetic spectrum. The visible light is the only part that can be made use of by photosynthetic pigments.
