Answer:
The correct answer is -transfer fixed carbon dioxide to cells in which the Calvin cycle occurs
Explanation:
In C4 plants the light reaction and Calvin cycle occurs in two different cell that are mesophyll cell and bundle sheath cells. First, the CO₂ is fixed into 4- carbon oxaloacetate by an enzyme PEP carboxylase.
Then this oxaloacetate is converted into a simpler form called malate. Malate molecule then enters into bundle sheet cell and there it releases one molecule of CO₂. This CO₂ enters the Calvin cycle which results in the sugar formation with the help of enzyme rubisco.
Therefore by releasing of CO₂ molecule by malate in bundle sheet cells, it transfer fixed carbon for the Calvin cycle to occur.
Answer: The answer is E: 'Sweetgum, a tree species with wind dispersed seeds'.
The other options mention species that occupy niche environments and would therefore definitely not be randomly dispersed. Rushes and frogs would be found along the edges of water bodies, squirrels would be found within appropriate environments, which would be acorn tree forests and orchid plants also occupy a particular tree
Explanation:
Basement membranes are thin, dense sheets of specialized, self- assembled extracellular matrix that surround most animal tissues. The basement membrane is a fibrous matrix composed primarily of glycoproteins, type IV collagen, and laminin that are secreted by the epithelial cells.
Answer:
Directional selection
Explanation:
Directional selection is a type of natural selection that favors one extreme phenotype of a genetic trait due to its survival and reproductive advantage to the individuals over another extreme phenotype and the intermediate phenotype.
In the given example, the thick-leaved plants are better adapted to a drier climate due to reduced water loss. Directional selection favored the plants with thick leaves which in turn produced more progeny. Over the generations, the population evolved into the one having more number of thick-leaved plants.
