Answer: Option C. Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is defined as the process by which plants can make their own food in the presence of sunlight by utilizing carbon dioxide and water.

The process can be understand by the following given equation:

water + carbon dioxide -------> glucose + oxygen

Photosynthesis is the process in which radiant energy converted into chemical energy through a green pigment called chlorophyll.

The process of Photosynthesis takes place in two sequential stages light-dependent and light-independent reaction.

In light-dependent reaction chlorophyll trap light and form ATP (photophosphorylation) and NADPH.

In light-independent reaction, the product of light reaction that is ATP, used to make carbohydrates from carbon dioxide (reduction).

The shells of clams and other mollusks _____. dissolve when the pH becomes more basic dissolve when the pH becomes more acidic m

Juliette [100K]

The correct answer is that the shells of clams and other mollusks dissolve when the pH becomes more acidic.

This is because the shells of clams and other mollusks are made of calcium carbonate that is dissolved in acidic conditions. The pH needs to be low to dissolve calcium carbonate into it. It takes few days to dissolve the shell completely.

explain how the process of copying DNA into messenger RNA is similar to Dna replication. your answer should include the followin

AnnyKZ [126]

The process of copying DNA into mRNA (transcription) is similar to DNA replication in that in both processes, the double helix of DNA has to be unwound first to a certain point to expose the gene and its base sequence required to provide information for either RNA polymerase enzyme to transcribe the information on mRNA, or for DNA polymerase enzyme to be able to read and create a new complimentary strand in DNA replication.

Both transcription and replication are processes which are conducted in the nucleus of the cell.
