Photosynthesis is a process in which green plants and few organisms use sunlight to synthesize their food from carbon di- oxide and water. In plants, during photosynthesis, green pigment known as chlorophyll is involved and oxygen is generated at a by product.
All the sunlight falling on plant is not absorbed. Only half of the falling light which lies in the right frequency to power photosynthesis is absorbed. Out of this falling light, only 8 % to 11% is absorbed by the plant and only 3 % to 6 % is actually used to form chemical energy.
Answer:
Permeability of plasma membrane is the rate of passive diffusion molecules across the biomembrane.
Answer: A
The cells would lose water and shrink. In a hypertonic solution, the
concentration of solute is higher than water in a cell. With this, there is a
net movement of water from inside to outside initiating water to lose from the
cytoplasm and vacuole causing the cell to shrink due to osmosis and achieve
equilibrium.
This process is applied in food preservation where microbial cells will
be dehydrated in a hypertonic environment, making them malfunction and preventing
them to cause food spoilage.
