How Light Bleaches Rhodopsin
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Salut!

  1. Light enters the eye through the cornea.
  2. Light travels to the macula within the retina.
  3. Rhodopsin absorbs light, and the Vitamin A changes shape.
  4. Vitamin A detaches from the rhodopsin, and some vitamin A is lost.
  5. Vitamin A from the bloodstream replenishes what is lost. The vitamin A returns to its original shape.

Explanation:

Retina is the part of the eye that contains photosensitive cells that capture light and produce the electrical signals that the brain perceives as images. These photosensitive cells are of two kinds:

  • Rods
  • Cones

Rods contain the photosensitive pigment, rhodopsin that is needed for vision at night or in dim light. Cones function in bright light.

Rhodopsin Bleaching:

Vision in bright or excessive light requires a process called rhodopsin bleaching which is the degradation of rhodopsin upon exposure to light. Upon contact with light, rhodopsin goes through structural changes characterized by the conversion of a pigment derived from Vitamin A, 11-<em>cis</em> retinal to all <em>trans</em> retinal. This chemical conversion initiates a photo-transduction reaction (reaction in which a photon of light is converted into electrical signals) that produces the electrical signals that travel to the brain via the optic nerve. The brain converts the electrical signals to images. This is followed by rhodopsin regeneration in the dark in which all <em>trans</em> retinal is converted back into 11 <em>cis</em> retinal.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: The options are not given, here are the options.

A. One species is much better competitor than the other.

B. Periodic disturbances allow for coexistence.

C. Two species tended to use different resources.

D. The two species experienced interference competition and not exploitative competition.

The correct option C.

Two species tended to use different resources.

Explanation:

From Gause experiments on competing paramecium pairs, He found out that most times both species persisted and sometimes only one did because the two species uses different resources.

Organisms normally compete for limited resources in order to survive and one intend to compete well while other suffer. Both in the case of competing paramecium pairs, the pair use different resources which make the to persist and survive well. Once the resource of one finishes, the other one will persist because it is still surviving on its available resources.

Which of the following is NOT an important source of resistance to blood flow? Which of the following is NOT an important source
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

total blood volume

Explanation:

Resistance to blood flow or vascular resistance refers to the slow down of the blood flow due to friction between the flowing blood and the walls of the blood vessels.

The resistance to blood flow is regulated by the viscosity of blood, total length, and diameter of the blood vessels. Higher blood viscosity imparts more resistance to the blood flow. The reduced diameter of blood vessels also restricts the blood flow through the blood vessels. Similarly, the resistance to the blood flow is directly proportional to the total length of the blood vessels.

However, total blood volume present in the body of the organisms does not affect vascular resistance. The total blood volume affects the blood pressure which in turn would affect the systemic vascular resistance.
