How does the equation for cellular respiration compared with the equation for photosynthesis?

1 answer:

5 0

In plants, photosynthesis, occurring in chloroplasts, is an anabolic (bond-building) process whereby CO2 and H2O combine with the use of light (photon) energy. This yields O2 and sugar (i.e. glucose). This occurs in 2 phases: light-dependent and dark (Calvin cycle) reactions, which both continually recycle ADP/ATP and NADP/NADPH.
The catabolic (bond-breaking) process in plants is cellular respiration, in which glucose is broken down with O2 by glycolysis (cytoplasm only) and mitochondrial reactions (Krebs cycle and E.T.C.) to yield CO2 and H2O. These reactions recycle ADP/ATP and NAD/NADH. The CO2 and water produced by cellular respiration feed into the photosynthetic processes, and in turn, the O2 and glucose resulting from photosynthesis supply the respiratory reactions.

a scientist conducted an investigation about the effects of diet on disease resistance in rats and made surprising observations.

devlian [24]

Answer: The scientist will perform another investigation in order to find out the role of certain genes in disease resistance.

Explanation-

As per the information given in the question, a mice having mutation in ear depicts same pattern of resistance when compared to another mice having normal ears. This indicates that the genes responsible for resistance are not related to genes that result in ear formation.

Therefore, to find out the effect of diet on disease resistance in rats, the scientist will perform another investigation in order to find out the role of certain genes in disease resistance.
