The right answer is C.

Plants know how to defend against herbivores and insects that try to eat them.

Many plant-based pesticides are made from cyanogenic glycosides (that release cyanide), which by blocking cytochrome c oxidase.

Cyanogenic glycosides are stored as inactive forms in the vacuoles of some plants. They become toxic when herbivores, by grazing the plant, break the cell membranes, which puts the glycosides in contact with the enzymes in the cytoplasm releasing hydrogen cyanide which blocks cellular respiration.

Complementary strand of DNA?<br> DNA Strand 1: AATCGGTAC

lesantik [10]

Answer:

TTAGCCATG

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a double helix molecule made up of two complementary polynucleotide strands oriented antiparallel to each other. Each nucleotide in both DNA strands is composed of a five-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. In DNA, there are four types of nitrogenous bases: Thymine, Guanine, Adenine and Cytosine (in RNA, Uracil replace Thymine). According to the base-pairing rules, Adenine always pairs with Thymine through two hydrogen bonds, whereas Guanine always pairs with Cytosine through three hydrogen bonds.
