Answer:

Carbon stored in plants reaches the atmosphere via cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the set of metabolic reactions that allows plants to convert the energy from nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and then release the waste products. The energy from the glucose molecules is broken down into ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are also required to convert the nutrients into ATP. In our case, carbon and oxygen are waste products so they are released into the atmosphere via the pores underneath the leaf of a plant or tree.

How do plants grow helppp

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

During photosynthesis, plants take the water from the soil, and the carbon dioxide from the air, and they make sugars out of it. When plants have the right balance of water, air, sunlight and nutrients, their cells grow and divide, and the whole plant gets bigger and bigger. And that's how plants grow.

Which of the following is not correct? All cells _____.

blondinia [14]

The answer would be c. only plant cells and some single cell organisms photosynthesize.
Since this is college level biology, you should know that red blood cells do not contain organelles... therefore it does not do a,c, and d. So, the question should say, which of the following is correct.

In tomato plants, the allele for purple stems is dominant to allele for green stems and the allele for red fruit is dominant to

Kamila [148]

So let's call the allele that is dominant for purple stems is P, and the recessive allele yielding green stems is p. And let's say that the allele that is dominant for red fruit is R and the recessive allele for yellow fruit is r.

The two plants are each heterozygour for both traits, meaning that the cross is going to be:

PpRr x PpRr

So let's setup a Punnet Square:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}&PR&Pr&pR&pr&PR&PPRR&PPRr&PpRR\4&PpRr&Pr&PPRr&PPrr&PpRr&Pprr\\pR&PpRR&PpRr&ppRR&ppRr&pr&PpRr&Pprr&ppRr&pprr\end{array}\right]$

The genotypic ratios (alleles) and phenotypic ratios are as follows:

PPRR (Purple stem, Red fruit): $\frac{1}{16}$

PpRR (Purple stem, Red fruit): $\frac{2}{16}$ or $\frac{1}{8}$

ppRR (Green Stem, Red fruit): $\frac{1}{16}$

PPRr (Purple stem, Red fruit): $\frac{2}{16}$ or $\frac{1}{8}$

PPrr (Purple stem, Yellow fruit): $\frac{1}{16}$

PpRr (Purple stem, Red fruit): $\frac{4}{16}$ or $\frac{1}{4}$

pprr (Green stem, Yellow fruit): $\frac{1}{16}$

ppRr (Green stem, Red fruit): $\frac{2}{16}$ or $\frac{1}{8}$

Pprr (Purple stem, Yellow fruit): $\frac{2}{16}$ or $\frac{1}{8}$

So then we take the like phenotypic ratios and add them together:

Purple stem, Red fruit: $\frac{1}{16} +\frac{2}{16} +\frac{2}{16} +\frac{4}{16}=\frac{9}{16}$

Green stem, Red fruit: $\frac{1}{16}+ \frac{2}{16} =\frac{3}{16}$

Purple stem, Yellow fruit: $\frac{1}{16}+ \frac{2}{16} =\frac{3}{16}$

Green stem, Yellow fruit: $\frac{1}{16}$

A 5' cap is not added to ribosomal RNAs or transfer RNAs because they Group of answer choices do not contain any guanine. are no

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

do not bind the small ribosomal subunit.

Explanation:

5' CAP is a structure present only in the mRNA molecule. It is characterized as a "helmet" added to the 5' end of the mRNA molecule.

The main function of 5' CAP is to protect mRNA in the cytoplasm (when it leaves the nucleus towards the ribosome). This is because in the cytoplasm can be found the enzymes ribonucleases and fostases that can alter the function of proteins that allow the mRNA to bind to the smaller subunit of the ribosome.

Since tRNA and rRNA do not need to be linked to the ribosome, they do not need the presence of 5' CAP in their compositions.
