Plants use carbohydrates to build things such as cellulose. How do plants acquire these building blocks to build mass?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

Photosynthetic process

Explanation:

Cellulose, a tough, fibrous and water-insoluble polysaccharide in the cell walls of plants. It is the most abundant organic macromolecule on Earth and also the main component of a plants structure, conferring rigidity on the plants' cells.

Cellulose chains are arranged in microfibrils or bundles of polysaccharides arranged in fibrils which in turn make up the plant cell wall.

All plants are made up of polysaccharides, a very large sugar molecule made of hundreds or thousands of single sugar units (monosaccharide). Cellulose is composed of a long chain of at least 500 glucose molecules joined together by B-1,4- linkages.

Green plants create this simple sugar molecules (glucose) on their own through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the chemical combination or fixation of C02 and water by the utilization of energy from the absorption of visible light. This glucose produced is a building carbohydrate that combines with other sugars to form the plant structure (as they make up part of cellulose) and store energy.

Which of the following best illustrates a type I survivorship curve, with higher death rates at older ages? Which of the followi
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

large mammals such as gorillas

Explanation:

The survivorship curves refer to the graphical representation of the proportion of the fraction of survivors or the individuals at a given age.

There are three types of survivorship curves which can be constructed by studying the life history of the organisms.

The type I survivorship curve is the curve which can be formed with the organism which has a high survival rate at the younger and middle age and high death rate at the older age. The type I curve can be characterised by its convex shaped. The type I is showed by the large mammals like gorilla, humans and many others.

Thus, large mammals such as gorillas are the correct answer.

During a drought on the galapagos islands, finches with larger beaks were able to crack the large tough seeds produced by plants
TEA [102]

It is an example of directional selection.

The different kinds of natural selection can influence the distribution of phenotypes within a population. In stabilizing selection, an average phenotype is preferred.

In directional selection, a modification in the surrounding changes the spectrum of the observed phenotypes, and in diversifying selection the extreme values for a trait are preferred over the transitional values. This kind of selection usually pushes speciation.

The directional selection, in the field of population genetics, refers to a mode of natural selection in which an extreme phenotype is preferred over other phenotypes, making the allele frequency to change with time in the orientation of that phenotype.
