Phycobiliproteins are a complex of accessory pigments and proteins found in cyanobacteria but not in green algae. A researcher c

laims that the phycobiliprotein pigments in cyanobacteria allow the cyanobacteria to survive in certain aquatic niches better than green algae can.
Which of the following statements best justifies the researcher’s claim?

A. The additional pigments allow the cyanobacteria to store light energy so that it can be used at night to continue photosynthesis.

B. The additional pigments block light and prevent it from reaching photosynthetic organisms at greater depths, so no photosynthetic organisms can live below the surface waters containing cyanobacteria.

C. The additional pigments require energy and cellular resources to produce, so they can be used as an energy source during times of insufficient light.

D. The additional pigments absorb light at wavelengths that green algae cannot absorb; this may allow cyanobacteria to capture more light energy for photosynthesis than green algae can in certain areas.

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Cyanobacteria preserve its photosynthetic pigments in the thylakoids which allows masking of green of chlorophyll a and other accessory pigment i.e phycobiliproteins (phycocyanin, allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin).  

Chlorophyll a is mainly responsible for harvesting light for photosynthesis. Phycocyanin is blue in color, allophycocyanin is blue in color  and phycoerythrine is red in color. These together harvest light in the green, yellow and orange part of the spectrum which cannot be used by other phytoplankton species

Hence, option D is correct

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

2.Less than 73% of the populations would have only one allele present.

Explanation:

The two alleles chosen do not affect the fitness of flies in the lab environment, so Kerr and Wright could be confident that if changes in the frequency of normal and forked phenotypes occurred, they would not be due to natural selection.

Using a larger breeding population would not be expected to alter the outcome of the experiment.

In this lab, the three flocks of birds changed in numbers between generation 1 and generation 3. Why? Check all reasons. The amo
anyanavicka [17]

Working in a lab means working under controlled environment. If in the generation 1 and generation 3, the number of bird’s increases or decreases in number, the possible conditions for this would

- The amount of food increased or decreased

- If a flock’s beak type made it easier to pick up the available food, the flock grows and vice versa

Justification: if the beak type for generation 1 makes the food intake easier, it will grow which ultimately decreases the food for the generation 3 which has un-supportive beak type.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The herbivory by the white-tailed deer

Explanation:

The independent variable can be defined as the variable that who's values do not depend on those of another.

The independent variable in this case is the herbivory by the white-tailed deer which is divided into two categories.

The dependent variables is the response of the corn to the independent variable which are measurements to be taken as shown in the question; the height of the corn plants and the number of ears or corn each plant produces.
