SpyIntel [72]

Roughly 5.6 years would be added to the average lifespan of the U.S. population. The test's lifespan increased from 719 to 770, or by 1.071. Multiplying the average lifespan by this amount would equal 84.609.

The role of pigments in the photosynthesis reaction is to

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Option A, Start the reaction by absorbing light energy

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is a green color pigment in plant that helps in entrapping sunlight. Being green in color, it absorbs the blue and red light and reflects the green light. The molecules of chlorophyll gains energy from sunlight and then jumps to higher energy levels by the process known as photo excitation. These excited molecules get ionized to further initiate the process of photosynthesis.

Hence, option A is correct.

Glucose is broken down in the chemical processes of aerobic respiration.

Papessa [141]

$\bold{\huge{\purple{\underline{ Answer }}}}$

Aerobic respiration :- Aerobic respiration is process of respiration in which complete oxidation of glucose takes place in the presence of oxygen

That is, 

Aerobic respiration is takes place in four stages :-

Glycolysis
The link reaction
The Krebs cycle
Oxidative phosphorylation

In aerobic respiration, Glucose with 6 carbon atoms broken into 2 pyruvic acid each with 3 carbon atom and produces water + CO2 + energy.

<h3>Whereas, </h3>

Anaerobic respiration :- is the process of respiration in which incomplete oxidation of glucose takes place in the absence of oxygen

The end products of glucose in anaerobic respiration is

In human muscles,  Lactic acid + Energy
In yeast, Ethanol + CO2 + Energy

Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
