Answer:
The explanation of the processes in which pigments are involved (capturing light and forming ATP and NADPH) is given in the following paragraphs)
Explanation:
Pigments are molecules with the capacity of absorbing light. Each pigment captures light of a specific wavelength. Plants contain different types of pigments like chlorophylls, xanthophylls, carotenoids, and others.
Chloroplasts (organelles present in cells of plants), contain pigmants that absorb solar radiation, triggering a series of reactions collectively known as photosynthesis. When light incides on a pigment, an electron of this molecules is excitated, goes into another level of energy and starts to pass through a series of carrier molecules to finally to a final aceptor of electrons. During this transport, part of the energy contained in the electron is used to generates a hydrogen gradient that provides energy. As a result of these processes, a molecule that is called NADP+ accepts two electrons and an hydrogen to form NADPH, while another molecule known as ADP captures an atom of phosphorous and gives rise to ATP (through the action of a protein called ATP sintase)..

The health of coral colonies
The levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
This is because corals are very sensitive to changes in the ocean's properties pH being included. Warmer oceans dissolves more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere hence making the waters slightly acidic. This will affect coral resulting in bleaching. This negatively affects the marine ecosystems since corals are usually at the bottom of the energy pyramid in these ecosystems.

Chlorofluorocarbons are very harmful to the environment when released into the atmosphere. They damage the ozone layer and therefore allow more UV rays from sunlight to reach the earth’s surface. They also have a greenhouse effect causing the earth’s atmosphere to warm up. This ultimately leads to global warming and climate change.

It would allow storm systems to stall in an area
Jets streams are very significant in that they influence weather patterns across the world. They are responsible for the movement of pressure systems and global air cells and their accompanying weather patterns. Because they generally sit in between cold and warm air systems they are significant in moving these air masses around. When they are weak they cause an air system to linger including storms causing excessive flooding in an area.

Absorb and re-emit infrared radiation.
Produced by human activity
Greenhouse gases do not allow infrared radiation from the earth's surface to escape back to space. Infrared is the electromagnetic wave spectrum responsible for transferring heat energy. Therefore, when left to linger in the atmosphere, they cause the greenhouse effect. This is the reason for global warming.

Air temperature –, ice
Ocean temperature – ice, a chemical isotope of <em>foraminifera</em>
Carbon dioxide levels – a chemical isotope of <em>foraminifera</em>
Kind of plants – fossilized pollen grains
Rainfall- the rings
Water molecules are constantly moving in Ice they move slower and are more tightly packed together and move at a slower pace to lower the freezing point you would have to find a solute that makes it harder for water to form crystals
True
Explanation:
The DNA is the structure in living organisms that encodes genetic information.
DNA = DeoxyriboNucleic Acid.
- The DNA is made up of a double helix structure of two strands.
- It is made up of a phosphate group,deoxyribose sugar and four nitrogenous bases.
- The DNA is contained in the nucleus of every cell.
- Crick and Watson suggested the molecular structure of the DNA to be a double helix shape.
