What portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is most absorbed by the chlorophyll pigments in the thylakoid membr?

<span>Chlorophyll is essential in photosynthesis, allowing plants to absorb energy from light. Chlorophylls absorb light most strongly in the blue portion of the electromagnetic spectrum as well as the red portion. The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a alone underestimates the effectiveness of certain wavelengths in driving photosynthesis. This is partly because accessory pigments with different absorption spectra are also photosynthetically important in chloroplasts and broaden the spectrum of colors that can be used for photosynthesis.</span>

nlexa [21]
Because the fatty acid chains are saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, it implies that the fatty acid chains of a phospholipid is not attracted to water hence why they are turned inwards towards each other and away from aqueous medium.  This implies that the interior of the membrane is HYDROPHOBIC (water-fearing/water-repelling).

Which of the following is primarily responsible for limiting the number of trophic levels in most ecosystems?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

(B) Energy transfer between trophic levels is almost always less than 20% efficient.

Explanation:

The ultimate source of energy on the Earth is the Sun. The energy coming from the Sun is captured by green plants by the photosynthesis. During photosynthesis sun energy   is fixed into chemical energy (carbohydrate). So, in an ecosystem energy flow is unidirectional (from sun to the green plants). The fixed chemical energy from green plants is transferred to the herbivores then to carnivores through food. When one organism eats another organisms, only 10 % of the energy present in the organism is transferred as a food for the next organism and a large amount of energy is lost as heat into the environment. Thus, energy keeps on decreasing when stored energy moves from producers to top consumers. Thus, less than 20% energy transfer limits the trophic levels in most of the ecosystem.

Answer:

$220

Explanation:

For Mowing:

Revenue:                                      $1,200

Additional cost:                              $(100)

Transportation cost :                      $(50)

Net Income               :                  $1050

For Painting:

Revenue:                                      $1,400

Additional cost:                              $(80)

Transportation cost :                      $(50)

Net Income               :                  $1270

Incremental Net income =   $1270 -  $1050

                                            = $220
