Members of two different species possess a similar-looking structure that they use in a similar fashion to perform the same function. Which information would best help distinguish between an explanation based on homology versus one based on convergent evolution?

#Unit 11. Evolution and Behavior
  1. The two species live at great distance from each other.

  2. The two species share many proteins in common, and the nucleotide sequences that code for these proteins are almost identical.

  3. The sizes of the structures in adult members of both species are similar in size.

  4. Both species are well adapted to their particular environments.

Energy partitioning between two photosystem protects them from quick dessipation or quick inactivation this energy partitioning take place by a protein kinase that can phosphorylate a specific threonine residue on the surface of LHCII, what is the role of LHCII in phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated state?

a.) LHCII in phosphorylated state migrate towards the PSI in the unstacked region and delivers energy to the PSI 

b.) LHCII in nonphosphorylated state moves back to the grana and delivers energy to the PSII

c.) LHCII in phosphorylated state migrate towards the PSII in the stacked region and delivers energy to the PSI 

d.)  LHCII in nonphosphorylated state moves towards the stroma lamellae unstacked region and delivers energy to the PSII

Chloroplast movement is widespread among algae, mosses, and leaves of higher plants, what will be the orientation of chloroplast in dark as well as in light?

a.) In dark, chloroplasts gather at the cell surfaces parallel to the plane of the leaf so that they are aligned perpendicularly to the incident light

b.) Under high light, , the chloroplasts move to the cell surfaces that are parallel to the incident light, thus avoiding excess absorption of light

c.) the orientation of the chloroplasts in the dark is such that maximizes absorption of light

d.) the orientation of the chloroplasts in the high light is such that maximizes absorption of light
