The pigments have a similar
structure of 40 carbon atoms covalently bonded in a chain. Carotenoids contain oxygen atoms in their chemical structure (retinyl functional group) while
xanthophyll does not. This makes carotenoids more non-polar compared to xanthophylls,
hence move farthest in chromatography
paper using a nonpolar mobile phase. Chlorophyll
pigment, on the other hand, has chlorin rings (which are larger) as functional
units hence move slowly in chromatography.
Photosynthetic rates
can be measured by either the amount of
oxygen they consume per particular time period
or the amount of carbon dioxide produced per particular time period. This
is conducted while immersed in water so
as to measure bubble rate formation in case of oxygen production or the change
in water pH in the case of carbon dioxide consumption.
When autumn approaches, the amount
sunlight received by the plant is reduced due to longer night than days. Deciduous trees have adapted by losing
chlorophyll a and b pigments (most important in photosynthesis)
during this time. This leaves a higher amount of the other red and yellow pigments hence making the leaves change from
green to yellow-red.
It is believed that this
is the result of an ancient endosymbiotic
relationship between a protist and a
eukaryotic cell. The protist generates energy
that the eukaryotic can utilize in its growth and reproduction while
the protist is sheltered. This relationship became obligatory symbiosis over
time.

Answer:
The effect that a situation like this:
Imagine a scenario where a disease has infected many species of grass in the savanna.
Would have in is A disbalance in the ecosystem because the infected plants would die and they won't be able to feed the animals that eat them and they would have to migrate to look for plants to eat. That would also lead to predators that eat the animals that feed on plants to follow them and both types of animals would be reduced in the trip.
Explanation:
To understand this answer we need to analyze the full context. First of all the plants are used as food by the herbivores, therefore they would see themselves in the need to look for healthy plants that could be used as food. Predators would follow them and this trip will reduce the number of both because they would require energy and food to keep traveling. The herbivores would take the worse part because they are bigger in number and their food would scarce, while they would be used as easy food for the carnivores.
The answers are:
- They are formed above Earth's surface - sedimentary rock.
- They form in Earth's crust or mantle - intrusive igneous rock.
- They are solid at room temperature - both.
- They are made of molten rocks called magma - intrusive igneous rock.
- They are made of weathered pieces of rock - sedimentary rock.
- They have a diverse composition. They may contain many types of minerals - both.
