The graph shows how the rates of photosynthesis vary with light intensity for two groups of plants: plants that thrive in direct

sunlight, and plants that thrive in the shade. The plants in both groups receive the same amount of water and are kept at the same temperature.
The rates of photosynthesis are plotted for sun plants and shade plants against light intensity. For both plants, the lines increase at first but then level off. The maximum value is greater for the sun plants than the shade plants.

For both groups of plants, what BEST describes the relationship between light intensity and rate of photosynthesis?

A. The rate of photosynthesis increases with light intensity, and might be limited by other factors such as water and temperature.
B. The rate of photosynthesis increases with light intensity, and it increases without limit.
C. The rate of photosynthesis is independent of light intensity, but may be limited by other factors such as water and temperature.
D. The rate of photosynthesis is at a maximum over a narrow range of light intensities.

Answer:

D. The rate of photosynthesis is at a maximum over a narrow range of light intensities.

Explanation:

Light provides the energy required to drive the process of photosynthesis. Starting from a low light intensity, the rate of photosynthesis increases as intensity increases. At higher light intensities, the rate of photosynthesis levels off. At very high light intensities, chlorophyll is damaged and the rate of photosynthesis falls. Photosynthesis proceeds faster for plants in direct sunlight as compared to plants that thrive in the shade.

The sequence of nitrogenous bases in mRNA is
ivann1987 [24]

When mRNA is made, it makes a complementary copy to the template strand of DNA (so answer is B).

Making the mRNA is like making DNA except there is no T (thymine)...so when making the mRNA the rules are

DNA is A, mRNA is U

DNA is T, mRNA is A

DNA is G, mRNA is C

DNA is C, mRNA is G

There are three phases in an action potential. they are __________.
luda_lava [24]
The three stages of Action Potential are:
1. depolarization- Na+ channels open up inside of the membrane and becomes more positive than the RMP.
2. repolarization- The Na+ channels inactivating and K+ channels opening AP spike stops rising to which the membrane returns to RMP.
3. hyperpolarization- A few of the <span>K+ channels remain open and the Na+ channels reset inside of membrane becomes more negative than RMP.

Hope this helps!

why does water need help getting through the cell membrane? (use waters polarity in the answer please ☺️)
Lilit [14]
Nonpolar and small polar moleculescan pass through the cell membrane, so they diffuse across it in response to concentration gradients. Carbon dioxide and oxygen are two molecules that undergo this simple diffusionthrough the membrane. The simple diffusion of water is known as osmosis.

This arrangement means that only small, uncharged molecules can pass through the membrane. The membrane is called semipermeable, meaning that some things can pass through without assistance, while other things cannot. Water is a charged molecule, so it cannot get through the lipid part of the bilayer. In order to allow water to move in and out, cells have special proteins that act as a doorway. These proteins are called aquaporins (aqua = water, porin = pore).

hope this helps
