Photosystem I (PS I) and photosystem II (PS II) are two multi-subunit membrane-protein complexes involved in oxygenic photosynthesis. ... The main difference between photosystem 1 and 2 is that PS I absorbs longer wavelengths of light (>680 nm) whereas PS II absorbs shorter wavelengths of light (<680 nm).

A. it is photosynthetic  - this is true - chlorophyll is a photosynthetic pigment that traps light energy to power food production. It present in green plants

B. it contains vascular tissues  - this is false - eubacteria are single celled organisms that do not form tissues

C. it contains mitochondria  - this is false - prokaryotic cells do not contain membrane-bound organelles like mitochondria

A certain DNA sample is found to have a makeup consisting of 22% thymine. Use Chargaff’s rules to fill in the percentages for
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Adenine= 22%

Guanine= 28%

Cytosine = 28%

Explanation:

According to Chargaff rule, the amount of adenine in a double-stranded DNA is equal to the amount of thymine. This is due to the fact that adenine and thymine bases are complementary and form base pairs.

Likewise, the amount of guanine in a double-stranded DNA is equal to the amount of cytosine since guanine pairs with cytosine.  

Given that percentage of thymine in a DNA sample = 22%

Percentage of adenine = 22%

Total percentage of adenine and thymine = 22+ 22 = 44%

Percentage total of guanine and cytosine bases = 100-44 = 56%

Percentage of guanine base in the DNA = 56 /2 = 28%

Percentage of cytosine base in the DNA = 28%

How has modern humans<br> ecological footprint caused a Tragedy of the Commons?
Anastasy [175]

Answer and Explanation:

The ecological footprint is an indicator of sustainability at an international level that integrates all the human impacts over the environment, considering the necessary resources and the generated residues to maintain the modern consumption model.  It refers to the productive ecological surface needed to produce resources to consume by one person and to absorb the residues that are produced.

By constant contamination and indiscriminately use of natural resources the impact generated by human in the earth is unmeasurable.

The tragedy of the commons refers to how some people, acting by their own needs or interests, may exceed the use of natural resources, affecting their population and, therefore, other users. These individuals over explode resources thinking only in the present, but not in the future.

The ecological footprint as an indicator makes visible the unsustainable lifestyle of human beings, especially those of the first world. If this lifestyle would project to the rest of the world equally, natural resources would completely disappear. More developed countries are over contaminating and over exploding natural resources, affecting other countries of the third world, and even themselves.
