Plant produces glucose in the chloroplast through the process of photosynthesis. Calvin cycle is basically the biological process through which glucose is produced. The steps involved are as follows:
1. Absorbed CO2 is added to RuBP and 6C sugar is formed.
2. Breaking of 6C sugar into two 3-phosphoglycerate molecules
3. ATP gives phosphate group to form 3-phosphoglycerate which is later on converted into 1,3-biphosphoglycerate.
4. Electons are required by 1,3-biphosphoglycerate to an aldehyde called glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate or G3P and these electrons are donated by NADPH
5. Enzyme aldolase uses two molecules of G3P to produce 6 C sugar called fructose-1,6-biphosphate which is further converted to fructose-6-phosphate
6. Enzyme isomerase converts fructose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate
The question is; would a drug that binds irreversibly to these receptors be an effective contraceptive in mammals?, the answer is;Yes; because if the receptors are blocked the sperms will not be able to penetrate the zonal pellucida of the egg. Contraceptives prevents pregnancy by interfering with the normal process of ovulation, fertilization, and implantation.
Answer: The resource cost of production
Answer:
This question lacks options, however, it can be answered based on general understanding of forest layers.
The difference in photosynthetic rate is as a result of the amount of sunlight received by plants in the canopy and the forest floor.
Explanation:
Canopy of a forest refers to the collection of the crowns of trees found above the ground layer of a forest while the forest floor is the ground level of the forest. Plants that grow in the canopy are directly exposed to sunlight and receives most of the light from the sun while plants that grow in the forest floor are least exposed to sunlight as the crowns of the plants in the canopy covers/masks them.
Based on this, the rate at which the plants in the canopy layer photosynthesize will he higher than that of the plants in the forest floor because the amount of sunlight is a determinant of the photosynthetic rate.
