How do scientists believe that chloroplasts got into photosynthetic cells? ​

The development of chloroplast is thought to occur through endosymbiosis.

According to the endosymbiosis, some of the organelles found in modern eukaryotic cells, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, were previously prokaryotic microorganisms. A non-photosynthetic creature acquired one photosynthetic cell, and the chloroplast was subsequently created.

An organelle known as a chloroplast is crucial to the process of photosynthesis in plants. It contains pigments like chlorophyll and other  pigments that are in charge of capturing sunlight. Since each chloroplast has two membranes, other organelles such as mitochondria are referred to as double-membrane organelles. It is believed that cyanobacterial endosymbiosis played a role in the genesis of the chloroplast. Prokaryotic organisms like cyanobacteria have the capacity to prepare their food through the process of photosynthesis.

Which of the following describes a unique property of water that helps sustain marine life?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Since ice is less dense than water, it floats. This forms an ice cover sheet in cold regions such as in the poles. This insulates the water beneath from excessive heat loss hence preventing it from turning into ice too, This protects the marine life beneath. Also, water does not gain heat or loss it rapidly (due to its high heat capacity) hence offering a more or stable temperature range for marine life.

Explain the purpose and function of a gene.
Kryger [21]

Function

Genes decide almost everything about a living being. One or more genes can affect a specific trait. Genes may interact with an individual’s environment too and change what the gene makes.

Genes affect hundreds of internal and external factors, such as whether a person will get a particular color of eyes or what diseases they may develop.

Some diseases, such as sickle-cell anemia and Huntington’s disease, are inherited, and these are also affected by genes.

Purpose

The purpose of genes is to store information.

Each gene contains the information required to build specific proteins needed in an organism.

Hope this helps !!

The PH solution of NH3 of 0.950molar solution is 11.612. find the Kb​
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

1.8 x 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

 NH3(aq)  +  H2O(l)  ⇄ NH4⁺(aq)  +   OH⁻(aq)

I  0.95                              0                    0

C -x                                 +x                  +x

E 0.95-x                           x                    x

Kb= [NH₄⁺] [OH⁻] / (  NH₃) = x²/ (0.95-x )

P(OH) = 14-PH = 14-11.612 = 2.388

(OH)⁻¹ = 10⁻²°³⁸⁸ = 4.09 x 10⁻³ = x

Kb = (4.09 x 10⁻³)²/ (0.95-4.09 x 10⁻³)

= 1.8 x 10⁻⁵
