Answer:
Metamorphic rocks have been put under great pressure, heated, squashed or stretched, and fossils do not usually survive these extreme conditions.
Explanation:
Answer:
This can be explained based on structure, and on metabolisms of carbohydrate.
Explanation:
Carbohydrate has a relatively simple structural composition than the either protein or fatty acids. The C, H and Oxygen molecules are of relatively fewer in number and few chains than fats and protein.Thus cells will spend less energy to break bonds(catabolisims) among these molecules during cellular respiration pathways to trap the energy.
In addition glucose the end products of carbohydrate did not need any processing before it enters glycolysis, Kreb's Cycle and oxidative phosphorylation pathways to generate energy for the cells.
Conversely, for protein to be used it has to be first deaminated(removal of amino acid) by the liver before it enters glycolysis,while fats needs to be broken down and undergo beta oxidation with the long chains removed before it can form acetyl CoA. Therefore cells will prefer few steps, less endergonic pathways of glucose than longer more endergonic amino acids and fatty acid pathways.
Furthermore, glucose can be used in cellular respiration to produce energy either aerobically or anaerobically, while fats can only be used anaerobically. Therefore, since cells usually prefer to thrive in aerobic conditions they breakdown glucose easily during this period, and when lack of oxygen occurs they switched to anaerobic, Thus, the versatility of glucose to oxygen concentration makes glucose a better choice. Besides if fats was used anaerobically, ketone bodies build up which may be toxic to the cells.
Sunlight is the source of energy because producers such as grass and trees use photosynthesis to make energy from sunlight. Grass and trees are then eaten by animals like cows, chickens, and pigs. The animal takes in the energy it receives from the foliage, and humans in turn, receive energy from eating the livestock.
Answer:
Phenotypic ratio = 1 Red : 1 Pink
Explanation:
This phenomenon exhited by the gene coding for flower colour in four o'clock plants is called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE i.e. the red flower allele (R) is not completely dominant over the white flower allele (r), hence, a third intermediate pink phenotype (Rr) is formed in an heterozygous state. The red and white flowers will only be expressed in a RR and rr genotypes respectively.
In a cross between a red-flowered 4 o'clock plant (RR) and a pink-flowered 4 o'clock plant (Rr), the gametes:
R and R will be produced by the red-flowered plant while gamete R and r will be produced by the pink-flowered plant. Using this gamete in a punnet square, one will have four possible offsprings in which two will be phenotypically red-flowered (RR) and two phenotypically pink-flowered (Rr). i.e. 2RR:2Rr
Hence, the phenotypic ratio is 1:1 Red to Pink flower
