Nevertheless, surprisingly few studies have assessed the types and amounts of carotenoids present in the diet or blood of animals in relation to season, sex, condition or sexually attractive colour traits, part
Briefly state why the leaves of plants have a green color. Explain phototropism. Briefly discuss stomata. Why are most plants green? Explain why the thallus is typically green in colour. (a) What is photorespiration? (b) What are its effects on plants?

(蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin ...
the basis for signal honesty. Alternatively, it was suggested that carotenoid colouration is not advertising the presence of the pigment per se, but the quality of antioxidant resources which then affect carotenoid concentration. One possibility is that carotenoid-based colouration could signal colour...
of the carotenoids meso-zeaxanthin (MZ), lutein (L), and zeaxanthin (Z) accumulates at the macula where it is known as macular pigment (MP).2 The anatomical (central retinal),2 biochemical (antioxidant),3 and optical (short-wavelength filtering)4 properties of MP have generated interest in...
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The glucose is then stored for use as fuel by the plant, and oxygen is released back into the atmosphere. B...
Most Black Holes are located in the central to western side of the island of South Andros in the Bahamas, although one has been found on the northern transitional shore of Grand Bahama Island. The water in these holes appears black in colour due to the presence of a 1...
