Chlorophyll and bacteriochlorophyll pigment molecules absorb light energy for photosynthesis. each specific version of these molecules absorbs a different range of wavelengths of light, allowing different species of phototrophs to coexist by partitioning their use of the light spectrum. what controls the absorption spectrum of each particular chlorophyll/bacteriochlorophyll?

a. the specific metal ion in the center of the tetrapyrrole ring alters the absorption spectrum.
b. the number of tetrapyrrole rings linked together alters the absorption spectrum.
c. the exact orientation of the pigment molecule in the membrane (on the membrane surface, inner membrane or transmembrane) alters the absorption spectrum.
d. the various substituents on the tetrapyrrole ring alter the absorption properties of the pigments.

The correct answer is option d. "The various substituents on the tetrapyrrole ring alter the absorption properties of the pigments".

Explanation:

In chlorophyll and bacteriochlorophyll pigment molecules absorb light energy for photosynthesis at different spectrums. The means at which absorption spectrum is controlled is by the fact that the various substituents on the tetrapyrrole ring alter the absorption properties of the pigments. The tetrapyrrole ring has a a magnesium atom at its center, which in conjuction acts as an antenna for light's absorption.

americans began to notice growing differences between the northern and southern sections of the country. there were more people living in cities in the north, which made it more urban. more people lived on farms in the south, which made it more rural. while many people were farmers in the northern states, there were now other ways to make a living, such as working in mechanical cotton gins factories manufacturing cloth, tools and other goods. people in the north supported high tariffs on goods imported from europe because the extra cost encouraged people to “buy american” instead. in the southern states, planters did not like tariffs because they sold most of their production to europe and bought their tools from there as well. southerners believed the protective tariff was something that only northern factory owners keep their profits high. so the southern politicians came up with an idea. they would opt out. they would simply ignore the protective tariff. it was ‘null and void’ in south carolina. the state would not collect the taxes on goods imported into south carolina, no matter what the president said they had to do. this decision led to the nullification crisis.

answer: i don't know

explanation:

you need to provide a picture, otherwise i can't tell you.

if you can provide one, i'd be more than happy to you with this!
