Answer:

Stratum basale

Explanation:

Stratum basale is the deepest layer of the epidermis. It is composed of a single layer of cuboidal or columnar keratinocytes. There are some stem cells in stratum basale which divide and add new keratinocytes to the layer. Keratinocytes are the cells with large nuclei and have cytoplasm rich in ribosomes. The stratum basale layer is responsible for the generation of new skin cells. Any serious injury to this layer of the epidermis makes the person unable to regenerate the new skin cells.

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

If the amount of light reaching a leaf and the water supply is adequate in the face of inadequate carbon dioxide, the <u>latter becomes a limiting reagent in the process of photosynthesis. </u>

The process of photosynthesis has two steps

1. The light reaction

2. The light-independent reaction/the Calvin cycle

<em>Carbon dioxide is only required in the second step which is the Calvin cycle. This means that the light reaction proceeds at a normal rate but the Calvin cycle is slowed due to inadequate carbon dioxide. Overall, the rate of photosynthesis becomes limited to the amount of carbon dioxide that is available in the leaf.</em>

Most amino acids require Active Transport.

<h3>What is active transport?</h3>

According to Wiki, "Active Transport is described as a process that involves the movement of molecules against a gradient or an obstruction from a location of lower concentration to a region of greater concentration."

A protein pump uses ATP, which is a form of stored energy, to move molecules during active transport.

<h3>What are amino acids?</h3>

Organic substances known as amino acids have basic amino groups (-NH2) and carboxyl groups (-COOH). Amino acids are the components found in proteins. Proteins and peptides are both made up of lengthy chains of amino acids. There are a total of twenty amino acids used in the production of proteins.
