Answer:

Astrocytes.

Explanation:

Astrocytes are the star shaped cells that are present in the brain and spinal cord. The exact constitution of astrocytes in the brain is not known and almost 20% to 40% astrocytes are present in brain.

The astrocytes acts as the blood brain barrier and involved in the process of brain scarring. Astrocytes also regulate ions concentration by propagating the calcium ion channels in response to the stimulus. Astrocytes also generate a response by the calcium dependent release of glutamate.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Compare the process of carbon fixation in C3 plants to that of C4 plants.
Gre4nikov [31]

Carbon fixation is the process in which plants remove the carbon from atmospheric carbon dioxide and turn it into organic molecules like carbohydrates.

Because different type of plants are located in regions with different conditions they are different types of carbon fixation.  Plants that live in arid regions need to conserve water, while plants that live in more moist conditions will not need to conserve water.

The carbon fixation in C3 plants is one-step process. An oxidation reaction occurs because of the enzyme RuBisCo.  During the oxidation some of the energy used in photosynthesis is lost in a process known as photorespiration.
