3. Explain how organisms use chemical energy to drive basic life functions.

Well organisms have to eat to gain energy. Eating is a chemical process. When an organism eats something it contains proteins, carbohydrates, etc. To get rid of these things or to use them I believe is called cellular respiration.

The plant below is purebred for height tall. Write the alleles of this plant. In any cross for height, what kind of Offspring wi
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

TT

All tall

Explanation:

If an organism is purebred, that means it is homozygous. That means, it contains two copies of the same allele (trait) at this particular gene. Lets denote the tall allele as T. That means the plant is TT, and purebred tall.

No matter what genotype (i.e. what 2 alleles) another plant has, the offspring will always be tall. That is because it will always inherit one T from the TT parent. Even if we cross it to a tt plant, all the offspring would be Tt. They would be heterozygous, but they would be tall.

2 decided by 5/12 in fraction
Rudiy27

Answer:

\frac{24}{5}

Explanation:

\frac{2}{1} ÷ \frac{5}{12} =

To change the ÷ sign to a × sign, swap the denominators and the numerators of the second fraction.

\frac{2}{1} × \frac{12}{5} = \frac{24}{5}

Directly multiply. Numerators with numerators and denominators with denominators.

Why would a drug that damages capsids help treat a viral infection
zvonat [6]
The capsid is the protein shell that surrounds the core of a virus where its nucleic acid is located. The capsid is made up small sub units called capsomeres. A virus consists of a nucleic acid which may either be RNA or DNA and is found in varying quantities in the virus. It is this nucleic acid that is vital to the virus' survival that is housed in the capsid. A drug that targets the capsid and damages it will cause the nucleic acid to leak out of the virus and into the surrounding while other fluids foreign to the virus will get in rendering the virus totally impaired, and due to this the virus cannot survive but will speedily die.

What conclusions can we draw from the lab about photosynthesis and cellular
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Carbon dioxide and oxygen are recycled through photosynthesis and cellular

respiration forever unless something interrupts.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are two distinct and opposite metabolical processes undergone by living cells. They are opposite processes because one utilizes the products of the other as reactants.

Photosynthesis is a unique process to autotrophic organisms like plants. It is the process whereby plants synthesize their food in form of organic molecules (glucose) by combining Carbondioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) in the presence of sunlight.

The overall equation of photosynthesis is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6+ 6O2

On the other hand, cellular respiration is the process whereby living cells obtain energy (ATP) by breaking down food molecules (glucose) using oxygen to produce carbondioxide (CO2) and water as products. The overall equation is:

C6H12O6 + 602 -----> 6CO2 + 6H2O

Based on the lab experiments, it can be concluded that Carbon dioxide and oxygen are recycled through photosynthesis and cellular

respiration because photosynthesis recycles/reuses the products of cellular respiration, which are C02 and H2O while cellular respiration recycles/reuses the products of photosynthesis, which are C6H12O6 and O2. This process occurs naturally in the environment and will continue to do so unless something interupts.

Option B is incorrect because light energy from the sun powers photosynthesis while option C is incorrect because photosynthesis transforms light energy to chemical energy while cellular respiration transforms chemical energy to thermal energy.
