To accurately answer the question regarding the photosynthetic organism at hour 12, we need to consider the typical cycle of light availability for photosynthetic organisms, which usually rely on light during the day for photosynthesis.
-
a) It is night time- no light: If it is nighttime at hour 12, then the organism would not be able to perform the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
-
b) It is early morning- dimly lit: This could be a possibility, but "dimly lit" implies that some light is available.
-
c) It is performing the light-dependent reactions: This statement would be true if it is daytime and the organism has access to light.
-
d) It is in a drought: This does not directly relate to the time of day but rather to the availability of water, which could affect photosynthesis but does not specify light conditions.
If hour 12 corresponds to midday in a typical light cycle, then the best description would be c) It is performing the light-dependent reactions as the organism would be actively conducting photosynthesis during this time. However, without specific context regarding what hour 12 corresponds to in terms of a light/dark cycle, it's difficult to be definitive. If hour 12 falls during nighttime, then option a would be appropriate.
In the absence of specific context, the most straightforward assumption in a general scenario is option c.
