Answer:

In order to produce the 6-carbon glucose molecule and regenerate RUBP.

Explanation:

Plants undergo two stages in photosynthesis, one which is the light dependent reaction is used to produce ATP and NADPH needed for the next stage, which is the light independent stage or C3 or Calvin cycle.

In the Calvin cycle, Carbon is fixed when CO2, which enters via the stomata is accepted by Ribulosephosphate (RUBP) to produce an unstable 6-car-on compound which disintegrates into 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA). The PGA undergoes reduction and phosphorylation by ATP and NADPH to produce Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P). The G-3-P either continues the cycle in order to regenerate RUBP or leaves the cycle to produce glucose.

CO2 can only be fixed one at a time. Since G-3-P is a 3-carbon compound, it takes 3 molecules of CO2 to enter the cycle in order to produce 1 G3P molecule that will leave the cycle i.e 3 molecules of CO2 enters the cycle to produce 6 molecules of G3P, one molecule leaves the cell and 5 molecules are used to regenerate RUBP.

Hence, since, glucose is a 6-carbon compound, 2 molecules of 3-carbon G3P will be required. To get 2 molecules of G3P that will leave the cycle to produce glucose, 6 molecules of CO2 will need to be fixed in the stroma of the CHLOROPLAST.

<h2>(Answer 1 points 3)</h2>

The eastern lowland gorilla is one of the largest primates out of the thirteen. This largest primate is the massive animal on the Earth. This Primate in the World Is about to be extinct. It has now been critically endangered or we can say that these are just a step away from extinction. This primate is about 6.6 feet and weighs up to 550 pounds in the wild. The species has been subdivided into two subspecies.

<h2>(Answer 2 points 3)</h2>

Berthe's mouse lemur (Microcebus berthae)  is the smallest primate of all the thirteen primates. Earlier, It was claimed that Philippines tarsiers are the smallest primate but it was proved wrong. There are only between 5,000 and 10,000 Philippine Tarsiers left in the entire world known after the survey and the estimation of these primates. The number of this species is going to get very low and be falling.

<h2>(Answer 3 points 3)</h2>

There are approximately 260 known living species of primates that are consists of the tails. Some of the species of tail having primates have the tails that are very small in size. Only Apes is the species of the primates that do not contain even a small tail. There are two monkey groups, the old-word, and new-world monkeys, and apes are more closely related to the old-world monkeys.

<h2>(Answer 4 points 3)</h2>

The colossal squid is a primate that has the largest eye of all animals in the whole world. The measurement of the eye was recorded in 1007 and it was concluded that it was even larger when the squid was alive. It has been measured that its eye is at about 11 inches (28 centimeters) across bigger than a dinner plate, making it the largest animal eye on Earth.

MArishka [77]

Answer: Oviduct

Explanation:

The oviduct also known as the Fallopian tube is a long narrow tube with funnel shaped opening which receives eggs (Ova) released by the ovary. So, the oviduct link the ovary with the uterus, and it is the site where sperm released from the male meet the egg to fertilize it into zygote.

Thus, oviduct is the answer

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The correct answer is "is drained by an efferent arteriole".

Explanation:

The missing options of this question are:

A) has a basement membrane

B) is impermeable to most substances

C) is drained by an efferent arteriole

D) has a blood pressure much lower than other organ systems

The correct answer is option C) "is drained by an efferent arteriole".

The glomerulus are a network of small blood vessels that are specialized to function within the kidneys. The role of the glomerulus is to filter plasma and being one of the steps of water absorption in the kidneys. The glomerulus differs from other capillaries in the body in that it is drained by an efferent arteriole, which carry the blood that has already filtered by the glomerulus.
