In C3 plants the conservation of water promotes _____.

Biology
1 answer:
Vanyuwa [196]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Photorespiration

Explanation:

RuBisCo is the enzyme that catalyzes the first reaction of the Calvin cycle which in turn is a rate-limiting step. Photorespiration is the process during which the enzyme RuBP carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCo) catalyzes the reaction between oxygen and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate to form 3-phosphoglycerate and 2-phosphoglycolate.

These two products are useless for the metabolism of cells. Photorespiration occurs since the RuBisCo enzyme has an affinity for both CO2 and oxygen. When CO2 is not available, as it occurs when plants close stomata during hot dry days to prevent water loss, photorespiration takes place. Therefore, stomatal closing in C3 plants to prevent water loss promotes photorespiration.

Which of the following is true of the bones of the forearm?
Elza [17]

Answer: b. The radius forms the point of the elbow

c. The radius articulates to the wrist closest to the thumb

Explanation:

Ulna and radius are the two bones of the forearm. These bones articulates with the humerus and carpels of the hand.

b. The radius forms the point of the elbow: The elbow joint is the hinge joint that forms between the proximal ends of the radius and ulna in the forearm and distal ends of the humerus. The radius forms a pointed end.

c. The radius articulates to the wrist closest to the thumb: The wrist forms a complex joint. It forms a transition between the hand and the forearm. The radial deviation in the wrist forms the basis for the movement of the tilting of the wrist joint towards the thumb.

UNTUU HULLUM

Overfishing occurs when more fish are removed from an ecosystem than can be maintained by the population,

Overfishing can lead to significant population declines in economically important species. The passage describes

According to the passage, which mechanism explains the observed changes in fish size over time?

A. Smaller fish produce fewer eggs than larger fish do, so they contribute fewer offspring to the next

generation.

B. Fish that are small enough to escape fishing nets are more likely to survive than larger fish.

C. Scientists found that Atlantic silversides exhibited changes in feeding and foraging rates after four

generations of selection,

D. The average size of pink salmon returning to spawn decreased from 6.0 pounds to approximately 4.5

pounds.

would the carrying capacity of an area for a species be effected by the other species that live in the same area
iragen [17]

Answer:

The carrying capacity is different for all populations. It can vary from species to species, habitat to habitats and even within the same habitat at different times. ... So depending on the demands of the species the environment can be capable of sustaining different population sizes of different species............... ᐛ
