Explain how wood produces chemical energy

Biology
1 answer:
andrezito [222]2 years ago
4 0

Wood, when dry, stores chemical energy. This chemical energy is released as the wood burns, and it is converted into heat, or thermal energy. This also produces light energy. As a result of burning, the wood turns into an entirely new substance - ashes. Wood, a form of fuel with lots of potential energy stored in its covalent bonds, will react with molecules of oxygen in the air in a dramatic chemical reaction we call fire. The complex molecules in the wood have 'high energy' covalent bonds, as do the molecules of oxygen.

What are the possible genotypes of the parents of a male child who is colorblind?
viva [34]
Color Blindness is an X-linked trait. This explains why males are much more likely to have it than females. Offspring inherit Color Blindness from their mother, because the father only contributes the Y chromosome. A female can only have the disorder if her father has it and her mother either has it or is a carrier

A male is heterozygous for the trait that produces freckles on the skin, and he has freckles. if he marries a woman who is also
kakasveta [241]
<span>F- allele for freckles
f- </span><span>allele without freckles

1) The man is heterozygote and has freckles, its indicating that the allele for freckles is dominant.
A cross between him and a woman who is also </span><span>heterozygote: Ff x Ff
it would result in the following probabilities:
- 1/4 - homozygote with freckles: FF
- 2/4 - </span><span>heterozygote with freckles: Ff
- 1/4- </span><span>homozygote without freckles:ff

Their son would have a probability of 75% of being born with freckles.


2) The cross resulted in this probabilities:
</span><span><span>- 1/4 - homozygote with freckles: FF
- 2/4 - </span><span>heterozygote with freckles: Ff
- 1/4- </span><span>homozygote without freckles:ff
So, the chance of being born heterozygote for this gene is 2/4, which is the same as half (50%).

Only red algae can grow in relatively deep regions of the ocean because red algae are: Select one: a. capable of absorbing carbo
Effectus [21]

Answer:

b. specialized for absorbing shorter wavelengths of light that penetrate deeper into the water for photosynthesis.

Explanation:

There are two lights which are responsible for the photosynthesis in plants and algae i. e. red and blue light. These two lights are absorbed by the plants and algae in the process of photosynthesis while most of the light colors are reflected. In water red light remains in low depth while blue light penetrate deep into the water due to its shorter wavelength. So that's why red algae can grow due to the presence of blue light and photosynthesis occurs.
