Answer:

C. Pili

Explanation:

Conjugation:

  • Conjugation is the transfer of genetic material between two bacteria. It is referred to as horizontal gene transfer as it occurs through the formation of a horizontal connection or a pilus.
  • Conjugation occurs when the donor bacterium, containing the fertility factor (F factor; it is the gene required for pilus formation) initiates pilus formation.
  • This tube-like structure then joins the two bacteria and transfer of genetic material occurs.
  • Plasmids containing antibiotic resistance genes are also transferred in this manner.

what kind of energy transformation takes place when plants perform photosynthesis to produce glucose molecules?

An important bi-product of this reaction is oxygen which is vital to all life on earth. When humans consume glucose and do work they are converting chemical energy into heat energy and mechanical energy.
