Answer:

X represents nitrogen base pairs-  adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.

Explanation:

DNA molecule is a molecule that carries genetic information for growth, functioning, development, and reproduction. It is composed of nucleotides that contain a phosphate group, a sugar group, and nitrogen bases (adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine).

Nucleotides are linked together to form two long strands that coiled spirally to create a structure called a double helix. Just think of the double helix as a ladder. The phosphate and sugar groups would be the two sides of the ladder, while the nitrogen bases would be the rungs of the ladder. The bases adenine pairs with thymine, while guanine pairs with cytosine.

Thus, the correct answer would be base pairs.

Why does darkness affect the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?
Anna35 [415]

The right answer is Light independent reactions require the energy gathered in the thylakoids.

* The dark phase corresponds to the phase of assimilation of CO2 which uses the energy molecules produced during the clear phase and which is carried out cyclically. This cycle is called the Calvin cycle and it takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast.

The assimilation of CO2 is done in four main stages, the first three of which take place within the Calvin cycle:

-CO2 fixation (carboxylation).

-Carbon reduction fixed.

-Regeneration of the CO2 acceptor.

-Synthesis of sugars.

* A thylakoid, or thylakoid membrane, in a chloroplast, is a flat membranous sac containing chlorophyll, or in other words, it is a cell membrane within the plant chloroplast that photosynthesizes. The thylakoid of a bacterium is also called the chromatophore.

A thylakoid is a membrane compartment within chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. They are the place of light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. The thylakoids consist of a thylakoid membrane surrounding a thylakoid lumen (in the biological sense).

Motor (efferent) neurons carry information _____ the brain whereas sensory (afferent) neurons carry information ______ the brain
Norma-Jean [14]
Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system. They are the links so that information could be processed as electrochemical signals. There are three fundamental kinds of neurons in our body:

1. Motor neurons - they carry signals from the central nervous system (CNS) to the body parts such as muscle movement
2. Sensory neurons -  they carry signals from other body parts to the CNS
3. Interneurons - interlinking neurons between the brain and the spinal cord

Thus, the correct and complete statement above should be

<span><em>Motor (efferent) neurons carry information </em><em>from </em><em>the brain whereas sensory (afferent) neurons carry information</em><em> to</em><em> the brain.</em></span>
