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

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.

How are checkpoints currently behaving in sally cancer cells

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Instable behavior.

Explanation:

The checkpoints currently behaving instable in sally cancer cells because mutants show genetic instability so this instability is the cause of cancer disease. Two checkpoints are sensitive to DNA damage, one occur before mitosis cell division and the other occur before replication of DNA. So damage occur in these two check points leads to instable behavior of cancer cells.

dalvyx [7]

This means that each dominant allele "adds" to the expression of the next dominant allele. Usually, traits are polygenic when there is wide variation in the trait. For example, humans can be many different sizes. Height is a polygenic trait, controlled by at least three genes with six alleles.
