The correct answer is: A. hydrolysis of ATP to ADP

This step occurs in the light-dependent phase of photosynthesis.

Calvin cycle is the second phase of photosynthesis also called light-independent reactions (no light required for this step). This process occurs in in the stroma (the inner space of chloroplasts) and during it three-carbon sugars are produced from CO2. Calvin cycle can be divided into three steps:

1. Carbon fixation where CO2 from the air is “apsorbed” by plants and combined with a five-carbon acceptor molecule, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP). Formed molecule with 6 C atoms is then split into two 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA) molecules by the enzyme rubisco.

2. Reduction refers to conversion of 3-PGA to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), sugar that can be used in further steps of photosynthesis. NADP+ is reduced to NADPH.

3. Regeneration refers to recycle of some G3P in order to regenerate the RuBP acceptor for the carbon fixation.

ra1l [238]

Answer:

A. fast twitch fibers primarily perform anaerobic respiration.

Explanation:

Fast twitch fibers are helpful in generating quick energy from anaerobic respiration during exercise, sprinting or jumping. Anaerobic respiration is a type of respiration in which energy is released from glucose molecules in the absence of oxygen by the mitochondria of the cell. The energy which is produced produced is very low as compared to aerobic respiration.

Assume that the mother's genotype is AZ/az, and the father's genotype is Az/aZ, and the recombination rate is 10%. What are the
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

.45 from mom, .05 from dad

Explanation:

Given that:

the mother's genotype is AZ/az

i.e AZ = 50%

az = 50%     (parental)

But  we  were also told that the recombination rate is 10% which will like wise affect the mother's genotype

So 100% -10% = 90 % of the mother's genotype

We have a new genotype

AZ = 45%

az = 45% (parental)

Therefore the probability of az gamete from the mother = \frac{45}{100}

= 0.45

Similarly; the genotype of the father is:  Az/aZ

This is an heterozygous father who is diploid hence, there is a remarkable presence of two copies of each autosomal chromosome.

Az is the allele of the genes in one chromosomes and aZ is the allele of the genes in the other.

The gametes of this self cross are: Aa, AZ, az, zZ

Therefore; the recombinants are:

AZ

az

Since there are 10% recombinant; then

AZ = 5%

az = 5%

Therefore the probability of az gamete from the father = \frac{5}{100}

= .05

The building blocks or monomers of nucleic acid molecules are called _____. See concept 5.5 (page 84) view available hint(s) the
Monica [59]

Answer;

-Nucleotides

Explanation;

-Nucleic acids are polynucleotides, that is, long chainlike molecules composed of a series of nearly identical building blocks called nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogen-containing aromatic base attached to a pentose (five-carbon) sugar, which is in turn attached to a phosphate group.

-A sugar-phosphate backbone joins together nucleotides in a DNA sequence. The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.
