The correct option is A.
Scientists had discovered that some animals, such as Elysia chlorotica has the capacity to photosynthesize. The animal usually incorporate chloroplast into its cell from the algae which it feeds on. The chloroplast enable it to make proteins which are essential for photosynthesis.

The right answer is A. Some carry out photosynthesis...

The sea slug, Elysia chlorotica, is the first discovered animal able to use photosynthesis to produce energy. This photosynthesis is performed by the chloroplasts of its main food source, the seaweed Vaucheria litorea. They are sequestered by the digestive epithelium of the slug for several months according to a phenomenon of kleptoplasty, continuing their function of carrying out photosynthesis.  

However, the chloroplasts of Vaucheria litorea have transferred a large part of their genes required for photosynthesis to the nucleus of the cells of this alga during evolution. Photosynthesis is nevertheless maintained in the sea slug thanks to the transfer of a gene necessary for photosynthesis from the kernel of the seaweed to the genotype of the slug.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

Airborne transmission may occur if patient respiratory activity or medical procedures generate respiratory aerosols. These aerosols contain particles that may travel much longer distances and remain airborne longer, but their infective potential is uncertain. Contact, droplet and airborne transmission are each relevant during airway manoeuvres in infected patients, particularly during tracheal intubation.

List tim''s symptoms and identify the organ system (or specific organ) associated with those symptoms. (your may need to referen
pantera1 [17]
1. Tim's symptoms include deteriorated coordination, stamina and school performance, nausea, painful joints and an abnormal increase in growth rate. His personality also changed which manifested as depressive mood, introversion, anxiety and tension. These symptoms could indicate an endocrinological problem, therefore the organ system which could be associated with them is the thyroid gland.

2. The thyroid gland is an organ of the endocrine system which is located in the neck, behind Adam's apple. It regulates metabolism, protein synthesis and development. It does so by producing a number of hormones: calcitonin, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. The two thyroid hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) regulate the body's metabolism by controlling the way cells produce and consume energy.

3. Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine condition in which there is an overproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. Under these conditions, the thyroid gland proves to be overactive and the main symptom is the acceleration of the metabolism. Tim's sudden increase of growth rate and inability to gain weight, along with his nervousness and mood swings, and his fatigue and loss of energy could indicate a problem of hyperthyroidism.

4. Cortisol is a steroid hormone which is produced by the thyroid gland. It is often called as the "stress hormone" as it is released in response to a stressful situation. It is also released in response to low blood glucose concentration. Some of cortisol's functions are the increase in blood sugar, the suppression of the immune system and bone formation. Cortisol is also involved in the metabolism of macronutrients.
