Answer:

Mechanoreception

Explanation:

Mechanoreception is usually defined as the ability of an organism, such as humans and animals, to perceive and react to certain types of stimuli. This may include a sensation like sound, touch, that are produced in an environment.

This involves the conversion of sound waves (which are mechanical vibrations) into nerve impulses which are in the form of electrical signals. Initially, this process starts with the vibration of the eardrum and immediately transmits these vibrations towards the three small bones that are located in the middle portion of the ear. These are then carried by the auditory nerve into the brain. The brain finally converts this information into electrical signals. This entire process eventually leads to the creation of sound within the temporal lobe inside the brain.

Sergeu [11.5K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Label A; Mitochondria.

Label B; Nucleus.

Label C; Golgi apparatus.

Label D; Rough endoplasmic reticulum

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • All the above are various organelles in a eukaryotic cells each carrying different cellular activity to enhance the functioning of a cell.

Label A; Mitochondria.

  • <u>Mitochondria</u> is the powerhouse of the cell which converts glucose to energy rich molecules of ATP, through the process of cellular respiration.

Label B; Nucleus.

  • <u>Nucleus</u> contains the genetic material or DNA, RNA , nucleolus, chromatin fibres and proteins. It contains the chromosomes which control the hereditary characteristics.It also regulates all the activities of the cell.

Label C; Golgi apparatus.

  • <u>Golgi apparatus;</u> they are also called Golgi bodies. They function in modifying, sorting and packaging of proteins for secretion. They are also involved in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosomes.

Label D; Rough endoplasmic reticulum

  • <u>The rough endoplasmic reticulum</u> provides surface for protein synthesis. It is also used to transport cellular contents from one cell to another.
  • The risbosomes attached on the rough endoplasmic reticulum are resposible for the protein synthesis through the process of translation.

Recall that C4 plants tend to have higher rates of photosynthesis when compared with C3 plants (under normal 21 percent O2 atmos
Effectus [21]

Answer:B

Explanation:

In C3 plant fixation of carbon occurs rubisco the Calvin cycle enzyme that add CO2 to ribulose bisphosphate to produce a three carbon compound 3-phosphoglycerate.

C4 plants have an alternate mode of carbon fixation that forms a four-carbon compound as its first products. In C4 plants there are two distinct types of photosynthetic cells; bundle-sheath cells and mesophyll cells. The Calvin cycle is confined in the chloroplasts of the bundle-sheath cell.

In the first step of this mechanisms an enzyme present only in the mesophyll PEP carboxylase adds CO2 to PEP to form oxaloacetate a four-carbon products.

The four-carbon is exported to the bundle-shealth cells where it releases CO2, which is reassimilated into organic material by rubisco and the Calvin cycle. The same reaction regenerate pyruvate. ATP is used to convert pyruvate to PEP, allowing the reaction cycle to continue.

In C4 plants ATP is the price for concentrating CO2 in the bundle-shealth. C4 photosynthesis has higher ATP requirements than the C3 pathway.
