Answer:

The answer is glycogen.

Explanation:

Glycogen is a polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a store of energy for muscle cells in animals and fungus.

Muscle glycogen turns into glucose in muscle cells and also in the liver is turned to glucose to assist the whole body including the central nervous system, which is the brain and the spinal cord.

I hope it helps!

I think the answer is glycogen.Glycogen functions as one of the two forms of long-term energy reserves, with the other form being triglyceride stores in adipose tissue. In human body, glycogen is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and skeletal muscle. In the muscles it is the primary fuel the muscles use for energy production.

Answer:

B- Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Chloroplasts are <em>chlorophyll-containing, eukaryotic cell structures</em> that function in photosynthesis by absorbing energy from sunlight, combining this energy with water and CO2 to convert them to sugars . This cell structure is known as a plastid. The sugars produced, are important for the survival of the plant.

Chloroplasts reproduce on their own, independent of the whole cell because they contain their own DNA. Plant chloroplasts are located in guard cells in plant leaves. Closely linked to these guard cells are tiny pores called stomata, which allow gas exchange required for photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis occurs in two stages:

The light reaction stage
The dark reaction stage

The Light reaction stage takes place in the presence of light. Clorophyll converts light into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. Both molecules produced, are used in the dark stage to produce sugar.

In the dark reaction stage, the stroma, containing enzymes, facilitates reactions leading to the production of sugars from ATP and NADPH. This process is also called the carbon fixation stage. The sugar produced can be stored in the form of starch for other processes such as respiration.

A situation in which the coefficient of coincidence is greater than 1.0 would indicate that: A. no double crossovers were found

damaskus [11]

Answer:

B. there were more double crossovers in the progeny than would be expected based on probability

Explanation:

Crossing over or recombination can be defined as the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Moreover, the coefficient of coincidence is the number of double recombinants found in the progeny. The coefficient of coincidence can be estimated by the following equation:

Coefficient of coincidence (COC) = ADRF / EDRF

where ADRF = Actual Double Recombinant Frequency

and EDRF = Expected Double Recombinant Frequency

In the case above described, ADFR is higher than EDRF, and therefore COC will be higher than 1.
