cannot tell from the data
Photosynthetic membranes are found in __________.
chloroplasts
Global climate change could be magnified by __________.
deforestation
To improve biofuel production, algae are exposed to mutation-promoting chemicals. This produces a highly varied collection of algae that can be screened for the ability to produce the most useful biofuel in the largest quantity. The tiny fraction of total algae that can best perform this task is grown and subjected to another round of mutation and selection. After many repetitions, the algae may slowly improve their ability to efficiently produce biofuels.
evolution
Incoming photons of light energy initiate photosynthesis by _____.
exciting electrons in pigment molecules within the photosystems, raising them to a higher energy level
The light reactions of photosynthesis take place ________.

As the CO2 level increases up to 600 µmol mol-1, how does the ragweed allergen concentration change?
increases
Deforestation, which removes a lot of photosynthetic plant life, thereby reduces the ability of the biosphere to absorb carbon. Planting new forests can have the opposite effect of fixing carbon from the atmosphere, potentially reducing the effect of the gases that contribute to global climate change.
