Answer:

Alkanes

Explanation:

There are 3 classes of hydrocarbons based on the on the presence of single, double and triple bond present in them. These classes are mentioned as under:

1) alkanes

2)alkenes

3)alkynes

Alkanes are the hydrocarbons which are compounds of carbon and hydrogen bonded by single bond. Their general formula is CnH2n+2 that means if in an alkane n = 3 then it will have 3 carbon and 2n+2 = 8 hydrogen molecules.

Alkenes are the hydrocarbons which are compounds of carbon and hydrogen bonded by double bond. Their general formula is CnH2n.

Alkynes are the hydrocarbons which are compounds of carbon and hydrogen bonded by triple bond. Their general formula is CnH2n-2.

As explained above, the given hydrocarbon is an alkane because its chemical formula is C3H8 which satisfies the condition for formula CnH2n+2 which is valid for alkanes.

Mitochondria are observed in plant cells that contain chloroplasts. why do you find mitochondria in photosynthetic tissue?
lyudmila [28]

Plant cells need both chloroplasts and the Mitochondria because they are perform both the photosynthesis and the cell respiration. Chloroplast converts the light (solar) energy into the chemical energy during the photosynthesis, while the mitochondria, is the powerhouse of the cell produces the ATP- the energy currency of the cell during the respiration.

Mitochondria are the membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate the most of the chemical energy which are needed to the power of the cell's as biochemical reactions. Chemical energy is produced by the mitochondria which is stored in small molecule that is called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

levacccp [35]

Answer:

vaccine

bacteria

pathogens

cells

toxins

antibiotics

Explanation:

Bacterial meningitis is a serious disease that is caused by an infection which results into Inflammation of brain and spinal cord membranes.

It is generally caused by virus but also caused by fungus and bacteria. A vaccine is required to fight against the bacterial meningitis. Symptoms include fever, stiff neck and headache. This disease is carried by the bacteria present in the throat of infectious person and can transmit through coughing, sneezing and kissing. The bacteria are the pathogens, releases a toxin which destroy cells and surface components of nervous system.

This disease is treated with intravenous antibiotics and corticosteroids (sometimes).

Hence, the correct answers for blanks are vaccine, bacteria, pathogens, cells, toxins, and antibiotics in sequential order.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

The trait is Y-linked

Explanation:

The only plausible explanation behind the inheritance pattern shown by the porcupine trait is that it is <u>Y-linked</u>.

<em><u>Y-linked traits are limited to the Y chromosome only</u></em><em>, a sex chromosome that is peculiar to only the male gender. Chromosomally, females are XX while males are XY. Hence, only the male gender has the genetic capacity to inherit the porcupine trait. This is why only the sons of Edward Lambert, and never the daughters, exhibited the trait. </em>
