Explain how photosynthesis and cellular respiration are connected?
Nina [5.8K]
Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make Atp. the glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. while the water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.

¿Que impacto tiene los diferentes tipos de centrales eléctricas en nuestro medio ambiente?​
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Sin los correspondientes controles y marcos regulatorios, las centrales eléctricas pueden tener efectos adversos sobre el medio ambiente y contaminar los ecosistemas naturales, representando un serio riesgo para la salud humana

Explanation:

Las centrales eléctricas representan un riesgo latente para el medio ambiente, con lo cual ellas deben estar bajo un estricto marco regulatorio y control por parte de las instituciones gubernamentales especializadas para tal fin. Por ejemplo, las centrales hidroeléctricas generan la inundación permanente de grandes áreas (incluso miles de hectáreas) con el objetivo de aumentar la capacidad de generación de energía eléctrica. Por otra parte, se cree que aproximadamente el 50% de la polución industrial se debe a la acción de centrales eléctricas convencionales, las cuales utilizan la combustión del carbón, el petróleo o el gas natural con el objetivo de generar energía eléctrica. Este tipo de centrales eléctricas producen dióxido de carbono (CO2), el principal gas de efecto invernadero y considerablemente deterioran la calidad del aire que respiramos mediante la liberación de partículas contaminantes, presentando efectos adversos tanto para la salud humana como para el medio ambiente. Finalmente, la instalación de centrales eléctricas a base de la energía nuclear no generan gases causantes del efecto invernadero, pero pueden representar un serio riesgo debido a la posibilidad de liberación de materiales radiactivos durante accidentes nucleares, los cuales son capaces de contaminar permanentemente el medio ambiente. En este punto, es importante aclarar que los riesgos de accidentes en centrales nucleares se ha reducido notablemente en las últimas décadas y, por lo tanto, este tipo de centrales eléctricas se consideran relativamente seguras.

How are finches in the Galapagos islands a good example of adaptation?
solmaris [256]

The finches on the Galapagos Islands are a good example of adaptation because they all trace their ancestry into a small group of finches that inhabited these islands, but diversified in accordance to the environment. On the Galapagos Islands, there are finches that have numerous types of different beak shapes and sizes, despite them all being derived from a single group of finches that had the same characteristics. The reason for this is that once they got to these islands, there were multiple niches int the food chain that were free for taking. Some finches started to feed on plants, some on seeds, some became insect-eaters etc. Every food type needs special adaptation so that the finches can eat it more easily, or even be able to get to its nutritional part, thus their beaks started to change in accordance to their food preference.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Option c. anterior-posterior axis is the right answer.

Explanation:

Bicoid is a maternal effect gene whose protein concentration gradient patterns the anterior-posterior (A-P) axis during Drosophila embryogenesis. it was the first protein demonstrated to act as a morphogen.  See image having more explanation.
