Answer: a) Sporophyte - Diploid

b) Spore - Haploid

c) Gametophyte - Haploid

d) Zygote - Diploid

Explanation: Sporophyte is the diploid phase of the plant. It means it has 2 set of chromosomes (2n). Function of Sporophyte is to produce haploid spores.

Spores are haploid units of the plants. Spores are the reproductive units of the plant so they develop into new plant.

Gametophyte is the haploid phase in the life cycle of plant. There are two types of Gametophytes : Male gametophyte and Female gametophyte.

Zygote is the diploid unit of the plant. Which formed by the fusion of two gametes as the result of fertilization.

Answer:

The sporophyte is diploid(2n), spores are haploid(n), gametophytes are diploid(2n), and zygote is diploid(2n).

Explanation:

Plants have 2 types of cell bodies - sporophytes and gametophytes. The sporophytes are diploid(2n) bodies of plants. They undergo meiotic cell division which produces haploid(n) spores. The haploid spores fall on the ground and develop into the gametophytes.

The gametophytes are haploid (n) little plants. It grows and releases two types of gametes- male gametes and female gametes. Both the male and female gametes are haploid(n) develops from haploid spores.

Then the male and female gametes fuse by process of fertilization. The fusion of haploid male and female gametes produces a diploid zygote (2n). A new plant is developed from this zygote by mitotic division.  

This is the example of alternation of generation in plants where sporophyte gives rise to gametophytes and from zygote again sporophytes develop. These are different bodies of plants one is haploid and the other is diploid.

Which enzyme(s) involved in fatty acid synthesis utilize ATP? Select all that apply.
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a. Acetyl CoA carboxylase  

Explanation:

Much of the fatty acids used by the body is supplied by the diet, excessive amounts of carbohydrates and protein obtained from the diet can be converted to fatty acids and stored as triglycerides. Fatty acid synthesis occurs mainly in the liver and mammary glands, and to a lesser extent in adipose tissue and kidney, the process incorporates acetyl CoA carbons into the forming fatty acid chain using ATP and NADPH.

The acetyl portion of acetyl CoA is transported to cytosol as citrate, produced by condensation of oxaloacetate and acetyl CoA, the first reaction of the citric acid cycle, this occurs when the concentration of mitochondrial citrate is high, observed when there is a high concentration of ATP and isocitrate dehydrogenase is inhibited.  The increase of citrate and ATP favors the synthesis of fatty acids, since this pathway needs both. Acetyl CoA should be converted to malonyl CoA. Carboxylation is catalyzed by acetyl CoA carboxylase and requires ATP, this reaction is the regulated step in fatty acid synthesis: it is inactivated by products, malonyl CoA and palmitoyl CoA, and activated by citrate, another regulatory mechanism is reversible phosphorylation of enzyme, which makes it inactive due to the presence of adrenaline / glucagon

Time on earth is divided into 6 eras. Three are considered "Precambrian" Which eras are NOT Precambrian?
bulgar [2K]

Explanation:

<u>the  Paleozoic Era </u>

The Precambrian era describes a period of time that pre-dates Cambrian. This time typically references the entire period of the history of earth before the formation of rocks containing identifiable fossils occurred. It covers the majority of Earth’s history and is divided into the Hadean, Archean and the Proterozoic era.

Just before the Cambrian eruption, in the  Paleozoic Era the environment was oxygenated, culminating in an explosion of new life in the Proteozoic Eon (2500-541 million years ago) in the form of primitive blue-green algae named cyanobacteria and oxygen based species. Multicellular species followed later, along with structure at higher levels, and complex life. Oxygen levels grew gradually over this period of time, from low levels.

what happen if photosynthetic protists disappeared from ocean, how would it affect the food chains in the ocean?
PSYCHO15rus [73]
We'll see mostly ever marine life depends on plants in the ocean for example shrimp eat the sea grass and a fish eat that shrimp then a bigger fish eats the fish next a seal eat the fish then a shark eats the seal and sadly my poor sharks are becoming extinct humans evil people hunt them slice up their fins and throw them back in the ocean alive to slowly die
Please save the shark and recycle to keep plastic out of are oceans
