Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

Pentose phosphate pathway is the alternative pathway taking place in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes parallel to the glycolysis.

The pentose phosphate pathway forms the electron carriers called NADPH and the ribose-5 phosphate.

The NADPH is formed in large amounts through this pathway which contains a very high amount of energy. NADPH can donate its hydride ions, therefore, it can be involved in the reaction where it can donate energy in the form of hydrogen and electron.

The NADPH is therefore involved in the formation of reducing biosynthetic pathways like fatty acid synthesis, cholesterol synthesis, and bile acid synthesis.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

Answer:

Kidneys : helps in forming urine

Ureter : They are connected to kidney and by peristaltic action transports urine from kidneys to bladder .

Urinary bladder : It is an hollow sac that holds the urine .

Urethra : transports urine from the bladder to outside of the body .

Explanation:

The human excretory system consists of   : Kidney ,ureter ,urinary bladder and urethra .The figure is shown below .

Now , as far as functions are concerned we have :

Kidneys : They have excretory units called nephrons that  further  consist of :

  • Bowman's capsule
  • PCT (Proximal convoluted tubule )
  • DCT (Distal convoluted tubule)
  • CT (collecting tubule )

In nephrons urine is formed and via ureter it is transported to a hollow sac like structure called  urinary bladder .

This bladder has muscles that cant remain contracted up to longer period )and then voluntary and involuntary it is excreted through urethra .

The process of passing urine is called Micturition .

How are the plants in a desert ecosystem most likely to differ from the plants in a rain forest ecosystem?
erik [133]
Hey,

I believe this answer is A: The desert plants are likely to be better at retaining water.

Which they do, and they have to cause water is very scarce in the desert unlike the rain forest.

Desert plants likely to be larger is not proven and most plants can vary in size.

Narrower stems may have something to do with it but that goes back to they have to hold more water so this is incorrect.

Brighter flowers doesn't have anything to do with water consumption within a plant so this is incorrect as well.

Hope this helps!
