B) They dissipate excessive light energy.

Some carotenoids seem to be function as photoprotectors. These compounds absorb and dissipate excessive light energy that would otherwise damage chlorophyll or interact with oxygen, forming reactive oxidative molecules that are dangerous to the cell.

The strand of dna used in the previous problem undergoes a mutation, such that the second c from the 3' end is changed to a
dlinn [17]
This mutation type is a substitution mutation. Substitution mutations may be silent or may have adverse effects (missense mutation).
Adverse effects come about because the change in codons in mRNA transcribed from the DNA strand. A point substitution can change the amino acid being coded for in the particular polypeptide change. If that animo acid is a structural residue of the protein, the structure of the protein will be altered, which may or may not lead to a change in protein function. If that particular amino acid is a catalytic residue of the protein, it may alter the 3D conformation and charge of the active site (if protein is an enzyme) or the binding site of protein. Function of protein formed from mutated DNA will be lost or altered.

Which means of particle transport is shown in Figure 7–4 above?
sattari [20]
The correct option is D.
When it comes to movement of particles in an out of cells, there are two basic types of transportation, these are passive and active transportation. The passive transportation of particles does not require  the use of energy while the active transport system requires the use of energy in the form of ATP. From the diagram given in the question, it can be seen that energy is involved in the process. Energy is mainly needed to move the particles against the concentration gradient since the inside of the cell is highly concentrated while the outside has low concentration. <span />

In recent years, scientists have collected data on populations of Adelie and Gentoo penguins. Adelie penguins are ice dependent.
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

C. The graph supports this theory, as it shows a gradual decline in populations of Adelie penguins.

Explanation:

Since Adelie penguins depend on ice to survive, a decline of ice would spell chaos for their survival. And coupled with the fact global warming means a bigger fluctuation of temperatures and a faster melting of ice on Earth, that would line up with the data of the decreasing Adelie penguins.

Hope this helped!
