active transport by the sodium-potassium pump follows this cycle

1. Three Na+ ions from the cytosol bind to the pump. 2. The binding of Na+ stimulates the phosphorylation of the pump protein by ATP. 3. Phosphorylation causes a conformational change in the pump that moves the three Na+ ions against their concentration gradient and releases them outside the cell. 4. The release of the Na+ ions permits two K+ ions from outside the cell to bind to the pump, and the phosphate group is released. 5. Release of the phosphate group causes another conformational change in the pump. 6. The conformational change in the pump moves the two K+ ions against their concentration gradient and releases them into the cytosol.

A breeder wants to set up a program to produce zebrafish with long fins. Having long fins is a dominant trait compared to the short fin wild type.

Based on this information and the absorption spectra shown at left, what role may chlorophyll b and carotenoids play in photosynthesis?

These pigments are able to absorb more wavelengths of light (and thus more energy) than chlorophyll a alone can absorb. As part of light-harvesting complexes in photosystems, they broaden the range of light that can be used in the light reactions.

You obtain the pigments called carotenoids in your diet when you eat carrots. Why do carotenoids appear yellow and orange?

They absorb blue/green light and reflect yellow and red wavelengths of light.

In the 1640s, the Flemish chemist Jan Baptista van Helmont preformed the classic experiment paraphrased below : I filled a pot with 200 pounds of first that had been dried in an oven. Then I planted the stem of a willow tree and watered it with rainwater. At the beginning, the willow stem weighed 5 pounds. For 5 years, I watered the tree with either rainwater or distilled water whenever it needed. The pot was large, and planted in the ground. I covered the pot with an iron plate. This had many holes, which allowed water through but not dust. In this way, I could be assured that possible dust accumulation over these 5 years did not significantly add to the weight of the dirt. After 5 years, the tree weighed 169 pounds, and about 3 ounces. I did not take into account the weight of the leaves that fell each autumn. At length, I again dried the dirt, which weighed only 2 ounces less than the initial 200 pounds. I concluded that 164 pounds of wood, bark, and roots, arose out of water only. In what way was Van Helmont's conclusion incorrect?

he did not account for the role of atmospheric carbon dioxide in photosynthesis.
