Answer:
E. are found in nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria AND are used to protect nitrogenase.
Explanation:
Heterocysts are specialized cellular compartments found in nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria. They provide the ideal anaerobic environment for nitrogen fixation since nitrogenase enzyme cant work in presence of oxygen. Hence, in a cyanobacteria both the oxygen requiring photosynthesis process and the oxygen sensitive nitrogen fixation process takes place simultaneously.
Heterocysts have an additional cell wall made of glycolipid that provides a hydrophobic barrier to oxygen. They are involved in production of nitrogenase and other proteins that are required for nitrogen fixation. They also degrade photosystem II which is responsible for producing oxygen and produce proteins which remove any remaining oxygen.
The chemical equations for the processes are opposite of each other
Well there part of a group called carbohydrates ,sugars are monosaccharides, or single units of a specific molecules such as gluclose,fructose,and monasse . startches on the other hand ,are polysaccharides ,long chains of chains of single sugar molecule subunits linked together, if this doesnt answer your question just txt me,thxs love
Each plant contains a branched system of tubes called xylem, which is responsible for water transport from the roots<span> (where it is taken up) to the leaves (where it is used in </span>photosynthesis<span>).
hope this answers your question</span>
