A is the only one I can see here that would apply only to an octopus.

Obviously, an octopus is capable of complex and rapid movement. It has tentacles, it can jet itself backward in the water very fast, and it is an intelligent animal. Sunflowers do not have such movement.

The sunflower would be the organism with rigid cell walls, as all plants have. Animals of any kind do not have these walls, so B is out.

Choanocytes are not found within either species, but you should check me on this one. Sponges and related, primitive sea life have these cells, also called "collar cells" , and they have flagella which beat to create a current through the sponge to bring in food and remove wastes. I think that the octopus is too advanced for this, but again, you should check me. I know for sure that sunflowers do not have collar cells. Unless the octopus has collar cells, which I do not think it does, C is out.

There are no terrestrial octopus species. If there are aquatic sunflowers, fine...botany is not my area..but your question asked what only the octopus has, and there are no terrestrial octopus species so D is out.

A would be the most logical answer, seeing as flowers are not able to walk around for move.

Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?
atroni [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is The process of photosynthesis is energy storing reaction because the process converts light energy into chemical energy which is stored in the bonds of glucose.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is an important pathway occur in the mesophyll tissue of leaves of plants . Photosynthesis helps in formation of glucose molecule that is stored as polysaccharide starch inside the plant"s body.

       During photosynthesis light energy is captured from sun by the antenna complex of photosystem then the light energy is transferred to the reaction center for its conversion into chemical energy in form of ATP molrcules.

     The so formed ATP molecules helps in the biosynthesis of glucose by various enzyme catalyzed reactions.

How would you test the presence of starch in leaves?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

1. Remove a green leaf from the plant

2. Boil the leaf in boiling <u>water stop enzymatic reaction within cells in leaf</u>

3. Put the boiled leaf in boiling tube containing alcohol <u>extract (ethanol) chlorophyll ethanol dissolves Lipids in cell membranes.</u>

4. Return to leave to the hot water <u>soften the leaf and allows penetration of </u><u> </u><u>i</u><u>odine</u>

5. Remove leaf and perform the iodine test

Explanation:

<em>starch is white powdery substance consisting of glucose which is used by plants as food the percents of starch in leaves evidence enough of the process a photosynthesis being carried out in leaves as the formation of starch necessitates photosynthesis</em>.

I hope this helps :)

Which of the following describes what can happen to an enzyme as temperature rises?
Rina8888 [55]

D.)The enzyme changes shape and no longer fits the substrate.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

When the required direction of transport is opposed to concentration levels, a cell <u>will </u> expend energy to force<u> ions</u> across its membrane.

Explanation:

If the concentration gradient is opposite to the direction of transport of minerals, then the cell will use energy to transport mineral ions from a lower concentration to a higher concentration. The most common process through which this happens is termed as the active transport.

The process of active transport is opposite to passive transport. In passive transport, molecules move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.
