oksano4ka [1.4K]1 year ago
5 0

Answer:

One U.S. farm feeds 166 people annually in the U.S. and abroad. The global population is expected to increase by 2.2 billion by 2050, which means the world's farmers will have to grow about 70% more food than what is now produced. About 11% of U.S. farmers are serving or have served in the military.

The breakdown of food molecules, such as glucose in the absence of oxygen is called?
Olenka [21]

If oxygen is present, then glucose can be broken all the way down into carbon dioxide and water. This process is called aerobic respiration because it requires air (oxygen). In the absence of oxygen, the cell uses a process called anaerobic fermentation. or simply fermentation.

C.perfringens, an obligate anaerobe, is capable of utilizing the carbohydrates release from injured tissue as an energy source.
Leto [7]

Answer;

It is a saccharolytic organism that can utilize carbohydrates anaerobically, therefore there is no evolution of co2.

Explanation;

A saccharolytic bacterium is a microbe having the ability to generate energy by metabolizing carbohydrates.

They include both heterotrophic and autotrophic organisms and transform sugars under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.

The energy-generating metabolic processes for obligate anaerobes are not coupled with the consumption of oxygen, oxygen kills the organisms.

What type of organism would most likely be found in place of the question marks?​
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Decomposers

Explanation:

The diagram in this question illustrates a food web, which is a series of interlinked food chains in an ecosystem. In a food chain as depicted in the image, the arrows point to the organism that feeds on another organism. For example, an arrow is pointing from Idaho fescue to an Elk meaning that the elk will feed on that plant.

Different trophic levels constituting organisms exists in the food web including; producers (plants), primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers etc. However, as observed in the image, a general arrow carrying along all the organism is pointing towards the organism in the question mark. This organism is called DECOMPOSER.

A decomposer, usually a microorganism, is an organism that breaks down dead organisms and returns the nutrient to the soil for recycling. All organisms in the food web will eventually die and when they do, they'll be decomposed by a decomposer. This is why the arrow pointing towards the decomposers include all organisms.

Endosymbiotic theory is supported by similarities between chloroplasts and * Cyanobacteria Viruses Yeasts None of the above
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Endosymbiotic theory is supported by similarities between chloroplasts and * Cyanobacteria.

Explanation:

The endosymbiotic theory proposes that mitochondria and chloroplasts were once free-living bacteria that were phagocytized by another cell but not digested. These bacteria got to adapt to their host, and both cells became interdependent.  

Both organelles have many similarities with other free-living bacteria. Chloroplasts probably derivate from cyanobacteria because both cells absorb sunlight, produce ATP, and organic molecules. And mitochondria derivate from rickettsias because they produce ATP in the same way by using the Krebs Cycle and Oxidative Phosphorylation.

From the phagocytosis moment, these two cells became so dependant on each other, they could not survive without the other one.  

Chloroplasts and mitochondria share some traits with free-living bacteria, that support the theory.  

• Both organelles present their genetic material. This DNI is independent of the cells´ DNA, is bi-catenary and circular, identical to the bacterial DNA, and very different from the one of the eukaryotic cells.

• Both organelles divide by binary fission, not by mitosis, and can synthesize their ribosomes and organelles.    

• Both organelles present a double membrane, a characteristic that reinforces the idea of being phagocyted. The internal membrane looks identical to the bacterial membrane, while the external membrane looks like the eukaryotic one.  

In fact, in this internal membrane are placed the energy centers, just as it occurs in bacterias membrane.  

• Finally, the sizes of the organelles are similar to the size of some procaryotes
