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

A period in 24-point font (.) is about 1mm in diameter. SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 80 nm. The prefix “milli” means 1000, which
diamong [38]

Answer:

Approximately 12,500 SARS-CoV-2 viruses

Explanation:

According to this question, the period described is 1mm in diameter. Since 1millimetre(mm) is 1000metre(m), this means that the period is 0.001m in diameter.

Also, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has a diameter of 80 nm (1nm = 10^9m).

Since 10^6nanometres (nm) or 1,000,000nm makes 1millimeter (mm), 80nm of the virus will be:

= 80/1,000,000

= 0.000080mm or 8 × 10^-5mm

To calculate how many of the SARS-CoV-2 virus will fit into the period, we divide the diameter of the period (in mm) by the diameter of the virus (in mm).

That is; 1 ÷ 8 × 10^-5

= 1/8 × 10^5

= 0.125 × 100,000

= 12,500

Therefore, approximately 12500 SARS-CoV-2 viruses will fit in the period.

The NET reproduction per individual per unit time (r) is _____ per mouse per month in a population of 1,000 mice where 500 mice
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

0.1

Explanation:

The Net Reproduction per individual per unit time (r) can be calculated as (births-deaths)/population size

Given that:

Population size of mice = 1,000; Birth = 500; Death = 400,

Net reproduction rate (r) = (births-deaths)/population size

r = (500 – 400)/1000

r = 100/1000

r = 0.1

The Net reproduction per individual per unit time (r) is 0.1

PNS axons are vulnerable to cuts, crushing injuries, and other types of trauma. However, a damaged ____________ can regenerate i
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is - damaged, effector organ, neurilemma, damage, distance, cell body, decreased.

Explanation:

PNS axons are prone to cuts, and other types of injuries. A damaged axon can regenerate if the effector organ remains intact and a critical amount of neurilemma is found.

The degree of success of these axons regeneration depends upon factors that are (1) the amount of damage, and (2) the distance between the site of the damaged axon and the cell body it innervates The possibility of repair is reduced with an increase in either of these two factors. Neurolemmocytes play an active role in regeneration
