Answer:

D. A population with high genetic biodiversity is better able to respond to environmental stressors.

Explanation:

The genetic biodiversity of a species is the diversity of alleles that it possesses in its genetic pool. For a given gene, a population can have one or more alleles; and the more alleles the population has, it will be more diverse. Under normal conditions (without stress), the alleles that are present in high frequency in a population,  are those that best respond to the environment where the population occurs. However, if some environmental condition changes and some type of environmental stress emerge (ie drought), it is possible that these alleles no longer respond equally effectively and then, it is possible that the  alleles that on normal conditions occur with low frequency, are more adequate to face the stress. A population with fewer alleles (less genetic diversity) has terefore fewer options to deal with environmental stressors and<u> a population with high genetic biodiversity</u> will do this better.

What is the best conclusion? The rate of cellular respiration in germinating peas is exactly one thousand times the rate of ATP
Nady [450]

The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:

During germination, peas sprout and grow. The data table shows the carbon dioxide produced during the germination period of peas under different conditions. Condition Rate of carbon dioxide produced (mL/min) Germinating peas, 10ºC 0.01 Germinating peas, 20ºC 0.02 What is the best conclusion? The rate of cellular respiration in germinating peas is exactly one thousand times the rate of ATP production. Germinating peas at 10ºC create carbon dioxide at a rate of 0.01 mL/min during ATP production. Germinating peas at 20ºC have a higher rate of cellular respiration than germinating peas at 10ºC. The rate of cellular respiration cannot be measured without knowing the rate of ATP production.

Answer:

The correct statement is that at 20 degree C, the germinating peas exhibits a higher rate of cellular respiration in comparison to the germinating peas at 10 degree C.

Explanation:

The process of respiration results in the production of carbon dioxide, respiration refers to a chemical reaction that generates water, carbon dioxide, and energy by undergoing oxidation of the glucose molecules. This phenomenon plays an essential role in the life of the organisms for obtaining energy from the food they consume to perform daily activities.  

From the question, it is evident that the peas, which were germinating at 20 degrees C exhibit a higher rate of cellular respiration as they are generating 0.02 milliliters of carbon dioxide in a minute, while on the other hand, the germinating peas at 10 degrees C are giving rise to 0.01 milliliters of carbon dioxide in a minute.

Amino acids are known to be the building blocks of proteins. Amino acids are organic substances and organic substances contains carbon. Amino acids have an amine group and the carbonyl group (-OH) which contains nitrogen and oxygen respectively. Proteins can also be derived from other sources like meat. Proteins can perform different functions, being an antibody is one.
