<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>

A purple flower with an unknown genotype is crossed with a white flower. Determine the genotype of the purple flower if purple (
Furkat [3]
If purple is dominant, the genotype of the purple flower could be PP or Pp, as both would give a purple colour. However, if the crossed flower turned out to be white, we could say with certainty that the genotype of the purple flower is Pp as the genotype of the white crossed flower would be pp, which would not be possible if the purple flower's genotype was PP.

xeze [42]
The word "cycle" in cell cycle refers to the regular pattern of growth, DNA duplication, and cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells.
The cell cycle is the term that describes the development and growth of a cell, after its formation and until its reproduction (division into two daughter cells). In eukaryotic cells (cells that include a nucleus) the cell cycle is comprised of two major phases, the interphase and the mitosis. During interphase, the cell grows larger and duplicates its genetic material. During mitosis, the cell divides its genetic material and cytoplasm, creating two daughter cells.

The circularly arranged smooth muscle fibers in the highlighted structure perform which function?
puteri [66]

Answer:constriction of pupil

Explanation:the circularly arranged smooth muscle fibers in the highlighted structure ie the iris causes constriction of the pupil.

The iris basically has ciliary muscles that control Lens shape ,this happens when the ciliary muscles under the signal of the parasympathetic nervous system contract leading to the constriction of the pupil and when these muscles relax then dilation of the pupil will occur

Which term best describes the macromolecule shown below? А monosaccharide В polysaccharide С amino acid D nucleic acid​
nadezda [96]

Answer:

B. Polysaccharide

Explanation:

A polysaccharide is a carbohydrate molecule made up of several units of monomers called monosaccharides linked together by glycosidic bonds. The monosaccharide is the simplest unit of a carbohydrate with the general formula, (CH2O)n.

However, the monosaccharides, which include glucose, fructose, galactose etc can link up by a bond to form a much larger carbohydrate molecule called POLYSACCHARIDE. As depicted in the image attached to this question, each ring is a monosaccharide, which becomes linked to one another to form a polymer called polysaccharide. Examples of polysaccharides are starch, glycogen, cellulose
