what is the primary means by which chemical energy is added to the biosphere? Photosynthesis Where does photosynthesis occur? thylakoid membranes in the grana stacks of chloroplast What are the main photosynthetic pigments? chlorophyll A, B, carotene, and xanthophyll What is different between the main photosynthetic pigments? they each absorb a different wavelength which is important to the survival of plants throughout seasons What is a byproduct cellular respi...

BIOLOGY 111 EXAM 2 (QUESTIONS & ANSWERS)BIOLOGY EXAM 2 (QUESTIONS & ANSWERS) 1) Carl Woese successfully argued that biologists group living things according to domains rather than kingdoms. He also argued that Archaea and bacteria had to be placed in separate domains because a. Bacteria are polyphyletic, whereas Archaea and Eukarya are monophyletic b. Bacteria and archaea both use fMet as their first amino acid translation during protein synthesis c. They both are prokaryotes d. Only the ar...
