Energy from sunlight can excite electrons, kicking them out of their orbitals and creating freeradicals. Free radicals are highl

y reactive atoms or molecules that have unpaired electrons and degrade and destroy other compounds in their vicinity. Carotenoids, one of the pigments present in most chloroplasts, can stabilize these free radicals. This suggests that _____.
A) once chloroplasts are destroyed, the free radicals will destroy the cell
B) carotenoids probably have a protective function in the cell
C) free radicals induce the synthesis of carotenoids in chloroplasts
D) carotenoids communicate directly with the immune system of plants

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Carotenoids are red, yellow or orange shades pigments by numerous plants, parasites, and microscopic organisms.

In plants, carotenoids are found in roots, stems, leaves, blooms, and natural products. Inside a plant cell, carotenoids occur in the films of plastids, organelles encompassed by trademark twofold membranes.

Carotenoids  performs the function of protecting chlorophyll from photo-damage by making the free radicals stabilized.

What pathologic change occurs to the kidneys glomeruli as a result of hypertension?
shusha [124]
<span>Interstitial fibrosis and glomeruli tubular atrophy are pathological effects of hypertension on kidneys. This is especially as a result of hyalinization that results in sclerosis to the glomeruli which may ultimately lead to kidney failure if unmanaged. The hyaline accumulate in the nephron tubules resulting in protein in urine. The plaque build up in the kidneys, as a result, causes glomerular ischemia   </span>

Question 1
noname [10]
1 - A ground level plant develops curling tendrils that wrap around other objects so it can "climb".

This is a species changing over time as it was originally a ground level plant but began to climb higher.

2 - Over many generations.

This is because diversity takes time and has to be integrated through generations; for instance, marriage. In a family, it becomes more diverse after the next generation as each generation is likely to marry someone of another ethnicity and allow the family tree to become more diverse.

3 - Mutate or Survive

It depends on what it means by mutate - develop a mutation to make it adaptable? If that's the case, then mutations within the DNA would be a result of adaptation and increase survival. Otherwise, survive is the obvious answer as adaption allows for species to move around and live longer.

Hope this helps!

How are mammalian sperm cells produced and incubated at a lower temperature than boday temperature ?
Morgarella [4.7K]

The secondary spermatocyte divides to form spermatids,which differentiates to form the spermatozoons.

Testis is housed in the scrotal sac.

Sperm production is sensitive to temperature. Too high temperature can cause formation of abnormal cells . As a result the scrotal sac is located outside the body
