What potential issue did the introduction of objects to test hypotheses of what is in the black box cause?

A. The loss of tools to test hypotheses on what is in the box.
B. The need to revise old hypotheses and create new ones.
C. Creating too many possible candidates for what is in the box to be solved during class.
D. A potential bias towards the objects presented being what is in the box instead of the best fit judging by your observations alone.

The five reactions listed below occur during the noncyclic

pathway of ATP formation. Use them to respond to statements 85–89. a. reduction of NADP+ b. phosphorylation of ADP c. photolysis of water d. oxidation of chlorophyll e. reduction of chlorophyll D 85. This process releases electrons to fill “holes” in chlorophyll in noncyclic ATP formation. D 86. When light energy is absorbed by a leaf, the first result will be this. D 87. The final step that occurs during noncyclic ATP formation is this. M 88. High-energy phosphate bonds are formed during this process. D 89. Oxygen is produced by this process.
