Answer:

Gene expression

Explanation:

The information a living organism needs is embedded in the genes found in the genetic material (DNA) of that organism. These information, however, are stored in the DNA and needs to be used to produce useful products (usually proteins). This process is called GENE EXPRESSION. Gene expression occurs in two steps; transcription and translation.

Transcription is the process whereby the information in the DNA is copied into a RNA molecule. It involves synthesizing a complementary strand of mRNA from a DNA template. This mRNA is then used as a template to direct the production of sequence of amino acids, which determines the protein. Transcription occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotes while it occurs in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

¿Que dos moléculas necesitan las plantas para la fotosíntesis?
viktelen [127]
Para realizar la fotosíntesis las plantas necesitan varios elementos que se encuentran en el medio ambiente.

Energía luminosa: impacta sobre las hojas y es absorbida por el pigmento fotosensible de la planta, la clorofila.
Agua: La fotosíntesis requiere un suministro constante de agua. Ésta llega a las hojas a través de las raíces y tallos.
Clorofila: Pigmento de color verde contenido en el cloroplasto. Se encarga de la absorción de la luz, para llevar a cabo la fotosíntesis.
Dióxido de carbono: Es absorbido por unos minúsculos poros, llamados estomas, en la parte inferior de la hoja.
Oxígeno: subproducto de la fotosíntesis. Sale de las hojas hacia el exterior a través de lasestomas.
