Answer:

E. Photosynthesis is an anabolic reaction, and cellular respiration is a catabolic reaction.

Explanation:

Anabolic or endergonic reaction is a type of reaction that uses energy. In this type of reaction small, simple molecules join to make larger complex molecules. For example photosynthesis, during which carbon dioxide and water are react to synthesise glucose and oxygen.

Catabolic or exergonic reaction is a type of reaction that gives energy. in this reaction large molecules are broken down into smaller ones. For example respiration, during which glucose in presence of oxygen is broken into carbon dioxide and water.

Answer: Option ' E' is correct.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is an anabolic reaction whereas cellular respiration is a catabolic reaction.

Cellular respiration is called as catabolic because in this process energy is formed in any form by fragmenting the molecules into smaller ones. like glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide and water.

Whereas photosynthesis is an anabolic because in this process compounds are formed like it tales carbon dioxide and water to form glucose.

Hence , option 'E' is correct.

Suppose a pulley with an IMA of 2 was used with an input force of 50 N to lift a box45 cm that weighs 100 N. What distance was t

OLEGan [10]

The mechanical advantage of output force/input force comes from the grater distance the pulley rope moves. The work has to be the same, by conservation of energy: 50 x = (100)(45) where x is the distance the rope was pulled.

x = 90 cm

What part of genes control a trait

lora16 [44]

Genes (actually, their alleles) control traits by determining which proteins will be produced. If a plant has the allele for producing red flowers, then it will have red flowers; if the allele is not there, the flowers will be white.
