Answer:

Photosynthesis is the synthesis of glucose from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll with oxygen as a by-product it occurs in green plants,photosynthetic bacteria and some algae it is an anabolic(building) process and nearly all life depends on it it comprises many coordinated biochemical reactions that are necessary for the survival of the species it is divided into two phases 1 light reaction(Z-scheme) 2 dark reactions(Calvin cycle)

Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process through which autotrophs are bale to produce their own food. The Process is named so because photo means sun's light and synthesis means creating. It involves the Plants or other autotrophs absorbing the sun's light and also carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by respiration. As a result of Photosynthesis, we obtain what is known as oxygen. This is, in fact, the biproduct of the process. Mainly, Photosynthesis occurs due to the presence of Chlorophyll which give leaves their green colour.

Key:

Autotrophs: Those who have the ability to produce their own food.

Biproduct: The extra result of a scientific equation.

Chlorophyll: a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, etc.

Hope this helps

What are 5 examples of coevolution from the movie Evolutionary Arms Race?

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

1. The adaptation of the garter snake to the increasing toxicity of the rough-skin newt

2. The development of antibiotic-resistance by the tuberculosis bacteria in prisoners in Russian prisons

3. The development of FIV-resistance in wildcats

4. The immunity to HIV in about 10% of caucasians due to mutations in their cells that occured among those who survived the Black Death.

5. The development of immunity to asthma in children exposed to livestock at an early age in Bavaria

Explanation:

Coevolution refers to the the evolution that occurs in two species of organisms due to the mutual interaction or interdependence of the two species. Due to this interaction among species, a change in one organism results in adaptive changes in the other organism as well.

Coevolution can occur is any of these relationships between organisms: predator-prey, mutualism, or commensalism.

In the movie, Evolutionary arms race, the following examples of coevolution were highlighted:

1. The adaptation of the garter snake to the increasing toxicity of the rough-skin newt.

2. The development of antibiotic-resistance by the tuberculosis bacteria in prisoners in Russian prisons.

3. The development of FIV-resistance in wildcats.

4. The immunity to HIV in about 10% of caucasians due to mutations in their cells that occured among those who survived the Black Death.

5. The development of immunity to asthma in children exposed to livestock at an early age in Bavaria.

How can DNA be used to illustrate that evolution has occurred?

Alexxandr [17]

DNA can illustrate that evolution has occurred since in the process of natural selection advantegeous genes or traits have been selected to pass on through generations and further more evolve as long as the species survies and is successful in reproducing.
