Answer:

Carbondioxide (CO2)

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process peculiar to autotrophs like plants, algae etc. It is the process whereby inorganic molecules are used to synthesize organic molecule. It involves the use of light energy from the sun. Plants, as an autotroph, captures sunlight energy using its Chlorophyll pigment. It then uses this energy to power other processes in its cell (chloroplast).

Carbondioxide (CO2) and water are the major prerequisite for the formation of the organic molecule (glucose) during photosynthesis. CO2 gas is absorbed via the stomata of the plant's leaves. It is then fixed by a CO2 acceptor called RUBP, catalyzed by RUBISCO enzyme. The general photosynthetic equation is:

6CO2 + 6H2O ----> C6H12O6 + 6O2

At rest, a cell membrane is said to be ___________.
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

a. polarized

Explanation:

The whole living cell and in particular the nerve cells show electric potential difference between the inner and outer faces of their cell membrane.

The resting potential of a cell refers to the difference in electrical potential that the inner and outer faces in the membrane of a neuron that is not transmitting nerve impulses. The resting potential value is around -70mV (milliVolts). The negative sign indicates that the interior of the cell is negative relative to the exterior.

The existence of the resting potential is mainly due to the difference in concentration of sodium (Na +) and potassium (K +) ions inside and outside the cell. This difference is maintained by a mechanism of active ion pumping through cell membranes, in which sodium is forced out of the cell and potassium in.

At rest, the alternation between passive and active ion transport occurs. There is passive input of sodium (Na +) ions, which are subsequently actively expelled, while potassium (K +) ions enter actively. Then K + passes passively from the cell, making the external medium positive relative to the internal medium. With this, the cell becomes polarized.

Briefly describe an enzyme molecule​
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Enzymes are biological molecules (typically proteins) that significantly speed up the rate of virtually all of the chemical reactions that take place within cells. ... The molecules that an enzyme works with are called substrates. The substrates bind to a region on the enzyme called the active site.

Explain why decomposers are an important part of a food chain.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Decomposers are vital to the food chain because they help recycle nutrients back into the system.

Explanation:

Decomposers like fungi and bacteria play most important role. They break down material that are dead or unused and turn them into nutrients in the fields or soil that plants use to grow.
