In 1883, Theodor Engelmann devised an experiment to find out which wavelengths of light were most used by photosynthetic organis

ms. He placed a strip of algae on a microscope slide, and then projected a spectrum of light on the slide. A suspension of oxygen-loving" bacteria was also placed on the slide. Based on an understanding of the light reactions of photosynthesis, predict the most likely outcome of the experiment."

Answer:

Oxygen loving bacteria are accumulated only in two areas in the slide, at its ends, areas rich in oxygen

Explanation:

A prism decomposed the light in different wavelengths between 400 and 700 nm.  Plants only absorbed some wavelenghts, one that peaks at about 440nm and the other around the 660 nm, as their particular Chlorophyls used to work.

Electrons from a reaction center from a photosystem (PSII) containing a particular chlorophyl , are launched to higher levels of energy when this is excited by light wavelength (680 nm) and travel by a molecular chain to an acceptor of electrons, forming ATP.  To refill the electrons in the reaction center, H2O is hydrolyzed, and their e- reach the reaction center.  In this step O2 is also produced.

A second photosystem (PSI) is also excited from another similar reaction center, whose electrons are used to produce reducing power in the form of NADPH.  This photosystem I also acts as acceptor of the electrons coming from PSII

Monarch butterflies have brightly colored orange wings with black patterns on them, making them easily visible to birds that eat
Tresset [83]

Answer:

The bright color of butterflies is a discouraging factor for its prey

Explanation:

Butterflies and caterpillars are easily visible to its prey but still they do not eat any of them. This can be because of two factors –

a) The bright color of these organisms might be a factor that makes them uninteresting (intending to be  tasteless etc.) for their prey

b) The bright color might be a signal to the bird indicating in advance of any harm associated with the butterflies/caterpillar feeding.

Hence , instead the Monarch butterflies have brightly colored orange wings with black patterns on them, making them easily visible to birds, the  birds rarely eat the monarchs

Fill in the missing words. naturalselection foundereffect geographicallyisolated species evolution
grandymaker [24]

Hi!


The ancestral finch founded a new population on one of the Hawaiian Islands. Due to the founder effect , allele frequencies of the first small population on one of the islands could have differed from their continental goldfinch-like ancestors. The process of natural selection resulted in adaptation and evolution of the island population into a new species over time. Some of the birds crossed to some of the other islands where they were geographically isolated and evolved into more species occupying different niches.


In terms of population genetics, founder effect is when there is a loss of genetic diversity as a result of the establishment of a new population by a relatively few individuals. Following such an establishment, natural selection is the process  which results in the genes of the fittest individuals of the population being selected over generations. This process ultimately results in evolution, and over time may give rise to new species. Geographical isolation is the physical separation of a population from another owing to geographical changes in the terrain or area. If two populations of the same species are geographically isolated, there is a great chance over time they may evolve into two different species.


Hope this helps!

What would happen if all the energy in glucose were released in just one step instead of gradually as it is in cellular respirat
Anna35 [415]
<span>If the energy in glucose was released at once, most of the energy would be lost as light and heat. The light and heat could harm or even destroy the cell. The gradual process of cellular respiration allows the cell to control the release of energy into packages of ATP that can be used efficiently for cell activities.</span>

Otrada [13]
If you must leave an injured or ill athlete unattended to get additional help, and you do not suspect an injury to the head, neck or back, then you should ask not to move while going for help, either by calling 911 or looking for someelse to help, once contacted help return immediately with the injured person and check that no threat has appeared to his life and provide care while the help gets there.
