When there is not enough carbon dioxide in a plant, a process called photorespiration may occur. This process uses the excess ox

ygen in the plant, uses energy, and prevents the Calvin cycle from occurring. How would a prolonged period of photorespiration affect a plant?

A prolonged period of photorespiration would affect a plant, giving a significant evolutionary advantage to plant species in dry climates.

<h3>What is the difference between photorespiration and respiration?</h3>

One of the basic differences between photorespiration and respiration concerns the effect of O2 on the two processes. Respiration saturates when O2 reaches approximately 2%, while photorespiration does not reach saturation in a pure O2 atmosphere.

<h3>Under what conditions does photorespiration occur?</h3>

Photorespiration is an expensive metabolic pathway that occurs when the Calvin Cycle enzyme rubisco acts on oxygen instead of carbon dioxide.

With this information, we can conclude that A prolonged period of photorespiration would affect a plant, giving a significant evolutionary advantage to plant species in dry climates.

Why is the menstrual cycle an important adaptation for reproduction in humans?
raketka [301]
The menstrual cycle is practically controlled by a system of hormones that is necessary for reproduction, and when the hormone reaches a heightened level, something called estradiol is made, then the stimulation of the ovaries by a luteinizing hormone.

Once that hormone begins developing, the ovaries make an egg that quickly becomes an ovum. The ovary then releases one egg or two during ovulation. The endometrium (the part that sheds its own cells for the menstruation) peaks after ovulation and changes the lining of the uterus to prepare for the hectic process of pregnancy and child labor. 

Hope that was helpful.

Answer:

B. A small fraction of the energy is transferred to higher trophic levels, majority stays in the lower trophic levels

Explanation:

Energy transfer between trophic levels is insufficient. When an organism is eaten by another organism, not all of the biomass of prey forms the biomass of the predator. Majority of the energy is released into environment during cellular respiration. Some of the matter also remains undigested and is not used by the predator. Thus, only 10% of energy available at one level is transferred to the next level. So when we keep on moving up in a food chain, energy available keeps on decreasing.
