Biology

Degger [83]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct answer is- It is used to produce glucose molecule

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in which light energy is captured by chlorophyll which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Oxygen is also produced as a by-product in this process.

The light energy is used to split water into oxygen, hydrogen ions and release electrons from it. The electrons pass through many electron carriers through photosystem II and I and ultimately reduce NADH+ to NADPH which is used in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose.

Therefore glucose is produced by the help of light energy captured during photosynthesis.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The thrifty gene hypothesis postulates that due to dietary scarcity during human evolution, people are prone to obesity by storing energy as fat, an ability to take advantage of rare periods of abundance  and this is advantageous during times of food availability. individuals with greater adipose reserves would more likely survive famine. This tendency to store fat could lead to obesity.

FTO is an enzyme that is encoded in humans by FTO gene located on chromosome 16. Increase in this enzyme is associated with the regulation of energy intake but not feeding reward. Also, the set point theory indicates that bodies are meant to stay within a narrow weight range but it is susceptible to chnage overtime.
