Answer:

Rods

Explanation:

Rods are specialized photoreceptors that function best in low-light conditions. They are a major part of our vision in dimly lit environments, as well as our perception of movement in our peripheral vision.

The noncyclic pathway is a FLOW of electrons from water, to photosystem II, to PHOTOSYSTEM I to NADPH. Energy is released as ELECTRONS move through the first electron transfer chain. This energy pumps HYDROGEN IONS into the thylakoid compartment, and then they power the formation of ATP as they flow back out. Sunlight provides the energy needed to keep this cycle going.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luminous energy is trapped by chlorophyll in Photosystem II.
When the pigment molecules absorb light, electrons provided by water molecules get in a higher energy level.
The excited electrons go through the electron transport chain from Photosystem II to a less energetic level in photosystem I.
<em>When the excited electrons leave photosystem II, they are replaced by new electrons extracted from the water molecules. </em>
Luminous energy absorbed move the electrons from the photosystem I to another electron acceptor, from where they get transported again and used to produce NADPH molecules.
<em>When electrons leave Photosystem I, they are replaced by new electrons coming from photosystem II. </em>
When the water molecule breaks down, hydrogen ions remain in the thylakoid lumen, from where they are pumped to the stroma by the ATP synthase.
The released energy is used to produce ATP molecules.
Hydrogen ions go back from the stroma to the thylakoid compartment.

The final products are oxygen, ATP, and NADPH.

How does a decrease/decline in a top predator impact biodiversity in an ecosystem?

vivado [14]

Answer:

Results in biodiversity loss due to the proliferated growth of prey that feeds on smaller species

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, organisms feed on one another to obtain energy. In this process organisms called CONSUMERS kill and feed on one another in a process called PREDATION. Top predators are those consumers that are found at the peak of the food chain.

A reduction in the number of top predators/tertiary consumers in an ecosystem means that the secondary consumers they feed on (prey) will grow and reproduce beyond control, hence, causing them to pose serious threat to the population of smaller species below them in the food chain.

Therefore, a decrease/decline in a top predator will impact biodiversity by causing it's loss, as organisms in lower level of the food chain will drastically diminish.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

A person had roti and dal for his lunch. Trace the changes in those during its passage through the alimentary canal. Answer: ... The saliva contains an enzyme salivary amylase (ptyalin) which converts starch in roti into maltose, isomaltose and small dextrins called a-dextrin.
