A. If you were designing a pigment to maximize light capture in a new kind of solar array what light absorbing properties would have?

b. what molecule in the sumary equation for photosynthesis ends up in the sugars made by photosynthesis?
c. When Jasmine was a baby, her parents planted a jasmine plant weighing 1 kg in a container in their yard with 50 kg of soil. When Jasmine was 18, the plant was estimated to weigh 75 kg. Then it was time to transplant the plant into the family yard so it could continue growing. When the soil in the container was weighed, its mass was 50 kg. Over the years Jasmine's parents neither added nor removed soil from the container with the plant in it. How did the plant increase in mass by 74 kg while the soil did not change in mass and never needed adding to over the years?

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given points:

Step-by-step explanation:

In point a:

When a light absorption dye was to be introduced to optimize the plant's absorbing capacity, the paint could absorb wide different wavelengths besides the observable light spectrum. It must also absorb the UV only at IR light rate to maximize the fluorescence intensity.

In point b:

Its molecule in the production of pentose sugar is the nitrogen and hydrogen atoms of carbon dioxide and water ions of air. Its water oxygen atoms are emitted through oxygen atoms during this phase.

In point c:

Its plant increased with weight while decreasing the weight of the earth, so because manufactured goods needed for plant growth are carbon dioxide from water and air, provided to a plant every day and nitrogen extracted from of the atmosphere through means of microbial materials into nitrogen. So, even if the plant raised its weight, the soil does not change the weight.
