Answer: Option C.

Inefficient oxygen transportation .

Explanation:

Sickle cell anaemia is an inheritable condition in which the the red blood cell cannot transport oxygen effeciently in the blood to organs because of it's distorted shape which is sickle.

Red blood cells function in transporting oxygen in the blood because of it's iron component, when it is distorted it can't carry oxygen efficiently.

This can lead to damage to lungs, livers, nerves, spleens, organs.

Classify the following organisms into their respective kingdoms (i) Yeast (ii) Penicillium (iii) Rhizobium (iv) Mushroom (v) Amo

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

(i) Yeast- Kingdom Fungi

(ii) Penicillium- Kingdom Fungi

(iii) Rhizobium- Kingdom Eubacteria

(iv) Mushroom- Kingdom Fungi

(v) Amoeba- Kingdom Protista

(vi) fish- Kingdom Animalia

Explanation:

Living organisms were classified into a large group called KINGDOM, which represent the largest and most generic grouping consisting of organisms that share a few similarities. The kingdoms that living organisms were classified into are as follows: Plantae, Animalia, Fungi, Protista, Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, etc.

Based on the question, the mentioned organisms are classified into the following kingdoms:

(I) Yeast: Yeast is a unicellular microbe classified under the Kingdom Fungi due to possession of chitin in its cell wall and other similar features with members of kingdom Fungi.

ii) Penicillium- Penicillium is a genus classified under the Kingdom Fungi.

(iii) Rhizobium- Rhizobium is a genus of prokaryotic organism (lack membrane-bound nucleus and organnelles) classified under the Kingdom Eubacteria.

(iv) Mushroom- Mushrooms are saprophytic (heterotrophic) species of organisms classified under the Kingdom Fungi.

(v) Amoeba- Amoeba is a genus of unicellular eukaryotes classified under the Kingdom Protista.

(vi) fish- Fishes are organisms classified under the Kingdom Animalia

E.Coli would be a good model organism to study how the cell membrane controls movement of substances in and out of cells?

hodyreva [135]

Answer:A.) True

Explanation:

E.Coli would be a good model organism to study how the cell membrane controls movement of substances in and out of cells because it a eubacteria .Eubacteria characteristics include the ability to allow the movement of molecules across its membrane once a proton gradient is established , The membrane also has permeability enhancing properties that allow for the easy movement of substances.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Photosynthesis produces: glucose and $O_{2}$

...from $CO_{2}$ , energy (light) and $H_{2} O$

Respiration produces: energy (ATP), $CO_{2}, H_{2} O$

....from glucose and $O_{2}$

Explanation:

These end products, namely $O_{2}$ and glucose are then used in respiration...

Using energy in the form of solar energy, plants, phytoplankton, algae, and other microorganisms produce chemical energy via photosynthesis. This complex mechanism is central to these species.

They combine light energy from the sun, water, and carbon dioxide.

6 $CO_{2}$ + 6 $H_{2} O$ + (energy) → $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$ + 6 $O_{2}$

In the mechanism of cellular respiration, organisms extract energy from food. Sugars in the form of glucose are broken down into carbon dioxide and water during aerobic respiration in mitochondria to produce energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

<h3> $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2} _{\to \$ $6CO_{2} + H_{2} O + energy (ATP)$ </h3>

The waste products, $CO_{2}$ and $H_{2} O$ , result from respiration, these are used as reactants in the photosynthetic process. In turn, its products are the reactants $O_{2}$ and $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6}$ in respiration.
