Ribozymes are biochemically too complex to have ever produced themselves naturalistically. They are an intermediate cellular functioning assembly that cannot survive on its own and they are too restrictive in function to enable metabolism and reproduction at the level of criticality to be considered plausible for life.

Their simplicity relative to RNA and DNA make them an attractive possibility, but they are not strategic enough, robust enough or in any producible using naturalistic processes.

In some cases such as predation selection pressure, the population of angler fishes in the habitat may increase

Crank

Answer: B

Photosynthesis uses CO2 and water to make oxygen and glucose.

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 This is the chemical reaction that occurs. Products are on the right and we can see glucose and oxygen are formed.
