Answer:

Oxygen

Explanation:

Oxygen is the by product of photolysis during photosynthesis whereby water molecules are split to form protons (H+ ions), electrons and oxygen (by product).

Oxygen is not needed during any of the reactions in photosynthesis and Calvin cycle and will not affect the rate of photosynthesis or possibility of photosynthesis occurring. However, it will affect the process of aerobic respiration instead.

Carbon dioxide is needed in carbon fixation during the Calvin cycle. Without it, 6 carbon sugars cannot be formed.

Water is needed for photolysis to produce protons (maintain the electrochemical gradient) and electrons (to replenish lost electrons)

Chlorophyll are pigments that harvest light energy to excite electrons produced from photolysis of water to be passed down the electron transport chain.

Light is needed as a source of energy to energise the electrons

Which of the following is an example of mechanical weathering

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Examples of mechanical weathering include frost and salt wedging, unloading and exfoliation, water and wind abrasion, impacts and collisions, and biological actions. All of these processes break rocks into smaller pieces without changing the physical composition of the rock.

Explanation:

Mechanical weathering involves mechanical processes that break up a rock: for example, ice freezing and expanding in cracks in the rock; tree roots growing in similar cracks; expansion and contraction of rock in areas with high daytime and low nighttime temperatures; cracking of rocks in forest fires, and so forth.

What phenotypic ratio would you expect as a result of a test cross between a dihybrid organism and one that is homozygous recess

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

¼ or 25% will be dihybrid organisms, ¼ will be heterozygous at first locus and recessive homozygous at other locus , ¼ of them will be recessive homozygous at first locus and heterozygous at other locus, and ¼ of them will be homozygous recessive for alleles at two independent loci.

Explanation:

A dihybrid organism is one that is heterozygous at two different genetic loci. So if we name one gene with D and other gene with R, dihybrid organism will have genotype DdRr.

If we cross that organism with the one that is homozygous recessive for alleles at two independent loci ddrr:

P: DdRr x ddrr

Which process most likely enabled the formation of the early protists?

sergejj [24]

Answer:

endosymbiosis.

Explanation:

By the beginning of the 20th century, researchers thought that plastids and mitochondria could come from bacteria. These would have been ingested by primitive cells and live within them in symbiosis.
