Theodor W. Engelmann illuminated a filament of algae with light that passed through a prism, thus exposing different segments of

algae to different wavelengths of light. He added aerobic bacteria and then noted in which areas the bacteria congregated. He noted that the largest groups were found in the areas illuminated by the red and blue light. Which of the following statements describes a relationship that Engelmann's experiment helped to determine?A. the relationship between wavelength of light and the rate of aerobic respiration. B. the relationship between wavelength of light and the amount of heat released. C. the relationship between wavelength of light and the rate of photosynthesis. D. the relationship between carbon dioxide concentration and the rate of photosynthesis.

Answer:

The correct answer is C and Engelmann conducted this experiment to prove relationship between algae and the rate of photosynthesis.

Explanation: First we must talk about 3 facts:

1) Prism scatters the white light into different wavelengths.

2) Photosynthesis, 6 carbon dioxide and 6 water molecules are consumed and 6 oxygen and 1 sugar molecule is synthesized using light energy.

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

3) Aerobic bacteria breaks down sugar while using oxygen and produces water and carbon dioxide in simplified terms.

So with this experimental setup a researcher can understand the rate of the photosynthesis by increased accumulation of aerobic bacteria near algae  in certain wavelengths since they uses oxygen and tend to move close to the oxygen source (<u>see figure</u>). In this experiment there are no ways to measure heat (B), there is no known relation between wavelength of light and aerobic respiration since it can happen even in the dark (A) and finally there are no ways to measure carbon dioxide (D).

During the process of photosynthesis,
TEA [102]

Answer:

d. less than 100% of the energy captured from sunlight is transformed into potential energy in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient and then into potential energy in the form of covalent bonds

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is process utilized by plants, several bacteria and protists to convert the light energy to chemical energy. So they utilize the photosynthesis as the powerhouse for the energy production. Heterotrophs like human that cannot synthesize their own food, use this converted form of energy by autotrophs.

During the light reaction of photosynthesis the photons from light are absorbed by photosystem I and II. These photons excites the electrons which flow through the electron transport chain from higher potential to lower potential. These electrons release the energy while moving from higher potential to lower potential which is utilized by H+ pump to pump the H+ to lumen of plastids from stroma and of course not the 100% energy is utilized some of the energy dissipates. . So this process causes the accumulation of high potential H+ ions across the membrane. These H+ ions are utilized for the production of ATP by ATP synthase complex when they flow back to lower potential across the membrane through ATP synthase complex.

The ATP and NADPH produced from light reaction are utilized to combine carbon molecules during dark reaction. The covalent bond is used to combine the carbon molecules and we know that combining carbon molecules stores energy in the form of covalent bond.
