Carbon is a reactant in the process of photosynthesis but a product in the process of cellular respiration.

<h3>What is carbon cycle?</h3>

Carbon cycle is the physical cycle of carbon through the Earth’s biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere.

It is the series of processes by which carbon compounds are interconverted in the environment, that includes such processes as

  • photosynthesis
  • decomposition
  • respiration
  • carbonification

Carbon cycle involves the incorporation of carbon dioxide into living tissue by photosynthesis and its return to the atmosphere through respiration, the decay of dead organisms, and the burning of fossil fuels.

Therefore, carbon is present in the atmosphere as a reactant during photosynthesis and as a product during cellular respiration.

Gastrulation, when the cells organize themselves into an embryo occurs 2 weeks after conception. What do the 3 layers of cells g
Travka [436]

Answer:

Gastrulation is the process where the developing embryo forms the process of the 3 germ layers. These germ layers are formed due to the movement of the single-layered blastula. Gastrulation starts during the third week of the human embryo.

The three germ layers give rise to different organs of the fetus. The 3 layers are ectoderm or outer layer, mesoderm or middle layer, and endoderm or inner layer.  

These 3 germ layers give rise to different organs of the human fetus. Ectoderm forms epidermis, skin, hair, olfactory organs, eye lense. glands like pituitary. Sensory nerves, skeleton, pigment cells are also formed from ectoderm.  

Ectoderm also forms a neural tube that further divides to form the brain, spinal cord.

Mesoderm form the vertebral column, skeletal muscle, excretory organs, reproductive organs. It also forms blood cells, blood vessels, body cavity or coelom.

The inner layer endoderm gives rise to the lining of the digestive tract, liver, pancreas, bladder, etc.

Meiosis reduces chromosome number and rearranges genetic information. Explain how the reduction and rearrangement are accomplish
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Meiosis is a form of cell division that occurs in the sex cells of organisms. It ensures the reduction of a diploid cell to an haploid cell to allow for the formation of a diploid zygote after fertilization (contribution of both parents haploid sex cells to give a diploid zygote). Thus, this process is very essential and important.

The reduction is accomplished by 2 divisions after the duplication of chromosomes

- first division: separation of homologous pairs of chromosomes (this reduces the total in half)

- second division: separation of sister chromatids of a chromosome.

The rearrangement in meiosis occurs by crossing over/genetic recombination.

This is the exchange of genetic material between homologous pairs of chromosome bringing about a rearrangement and genetic variation

An example of a chromosomal abnormality that arises as a result of defects in this process is the Down Syndrome which is caused by a nondisjunction of the chromosomes 21 pair in a sex cell.

This condition produces offsprings that have some characteristic facial features, short stature etc

The membranes of both B cells and the cancer cells are largely composed of phospholipids. Explain how, when the membranes are fu
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The cell membrane separates the external and internal environment of the cell. The cell membrane is composed of bilayer lipids, proteins and small amount of carbohydrates.

The lipid part is soluble in hydrophobic environment or with the hydrophobic part of other phospholipids because like molecules dissolve in like molecules. The hydrophobic part is non polar and hydrophilic parts is able to dissolve in polar area due to the interaction of same molecules with each other.
