Which photoreceptor cells respond to the longest wavelengths of light, ranging from approximately 500-700 nm?

1 answer:

8 0

The rods are photoreceptor cells that respond to the longest wavelengths of light, ranging from approximately 500-700 nm. Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels (scotopic vision).
The cones, on the otehr hand are the other <span>photoreceptors in the human retina that </span>are active at higher light levels (photopic vision).

Answer:

This protein doesn't have a secondary structure (i.e., alpha helices or beta sheets), thereby it interacts with the specific molecule trough its loops

Explanation:

Protein loops may interact with diverse molecules including nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), proteins, signal molecules, etc. These protein sequences (loops) interact with both polar and non-polar head groups

One mole of glucose contains 2870 kJ of energy. The hydrolysis of one mole of ATP releases 30.7 kJ of energy. Calculate the perc

Galina-37 [17]

The answer is:

Total used energy is the energy released by the hydrolysis of one mole of ATP and it is 30.7 kJ.

Total possible energy (used pus released as a heat) is 2870 kJ.

So, we calculate total used/total possible=30.7/2870=0.01069 or 0.017. Expressed in percentage: 1.07% energy is used.

Answer:

Fungi, Animalia, Plantae, and Protista

Explanation:

Fungi: A cluster of organisms that produce spores and feed on organic matter, examples are Mushrooms, mold and yeast.

Animals: a classification of living organisms that almost always have organs, and feed on other organic matter, they also usually have a nervous system. Examples are, Pigeons, Lions, Whales, etc.

Plants: organisms such as grass, trees, moss, flowers, and grow in the same spot. They absorb water, and inorganic matter through their roots, and usually have green coloring to do photosynthesis.

Protists: These organisms are usually microscopic and unicellular. They contain a nucleus and other specialized organelles, and some can move around. They vary widely of what they do, with some like Amoebas moving and eating other cells, while algae stay put and perform photosynthesis.

The plants in a red-tailed hawk’s food chain produce 3 million kcal of chemical energy per day. How much energy is available to

KATRIN_1 [288]

The amount of total energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through, so 90% is lost at each level. This means that only 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; and the rest is lost as heat.

In this case, if a plant ecosystem has 3000000 kilocalories (kcal) of energy, about 300000 kcal will be transferred to primary consumers (for example grass hoppers). If the red-tailed hawks are tertiary consumers, they will get 3000 kcal of energy.
