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.

3. What happens to the energy that is consumed by any level in an energy pyramid?​
beks73 [17]

Answer:

The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.

What appears to be the role of sirna in destroying the target mrna upon which it and its associated proteins act? it cleaves the
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
<span>siRNA guides the RISC that cleaves the target mRNA. siRNA binds to its target mRNA due to its complementarity.</span> <span>Small interfering RNA (siRNA) has a function in RNA interference, which means it causes gene silencing through repression of transcription. siRNA together with some proteins (like Argonaute) form the RISC. When siRNA recognize the target mRNA it causes degradation of mRNA and thus silencing the gene that encodes that mRNA.</span>

Which statement best represents how structure relates to function
Y_Kistochka [10]
<span>In biological terms, the structure of a species is usually best adapted to give it the most advantageous functional ability, though this is not always the case. When a structure has a function that allows the species to survive and promulgate its genetic structure, the individual will be more likely to reproduce its genotype over those that are not structurally advantageous.</span>
