Animals obtain energy through a series of chemical reactions in with sugar and oxygen gas are reactants this process produces wa

ter and carbon dioxide as waste products how might you use a radioactive isotope to find out whether the oxygen in CO2 comes from the sugar or from oxygen gas

Answer:

In order to find out whether the oxygen in CO2 comes from the sugar or from oxygen gas, we will perform radioactive labeling one by one on oxygen of sugar and oxygen of gas.

After this, we will observe the results and find that labelling of oxygen done in case of sugar produces radio labelled CO2 whereas labelling done in atoms of oxygen gas did not give a radio labelled CO2.

From this, it is concluded that in the process of cellular respiration ( oxidation of sugar to give energy in the form of ATP while producing water and CO2 as waste products),  CO2 comes from the sugar molecule and not from oxygen  gas.

58:57 What would most likely happen to life on Earth if the carbon cycle stopped? Life would continue unchanged. Life would ceas
Naddik [55]

Answer: Life would cease to exist.

Explanation:

The carbon elements is one of the most important elements in the compound that make up living organisms. It is found: in the remains of living organisms; as fossil fuels such as coal, coke and natural gas; as inorganic salts such as carbonates; in water bodies and as gas carbondioxide which makes up 0.03% of air.

Carbon is continuously being circulated in the atmosphere through a process called the CARBON CYCLE. This involves the removal and addition of carbon to the carbondioxide in the atmosphere.

Life would indeed cease to exist if this carbon cycle stops due to the importance of carbon to functioning of living organisms. Important processes which bring about the recycling of carbon between living ( biotic) and non living (abiotic) components of an ecosystem are:

--> photosynthesis: the process used by green plants to remove carbon through carbondioxide from the atmosphere for manufacturing of their food.

--> respiration: animals respire to break down sugar leading to liberation of carbondioxide and water as wastes

--> and decay: decomposers feeds on remains and waste to bring about decay, thus complex carbon compounds are broken down to set free carbondioxide which returns to the atmosphere.

All the above processes are carried out by living organisms to maintain a functioning ecosystem by enabling a linear flow of energy through it.

The key to the evolution of altruism is that a. recipients have to be more likely to carry the altruistic allele than nonrecipie
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. actors have to be more likely to carry the altruistic allele than non actors.

Explanation:

Altruism is the behavior by an organism that benefits other organisms by costing its own fitness. The actor is the individual who is doing altruism and the recipient is the individual who is getting benefited by the actor's altruism.

An example of altruistic behavior can be seen in animal kingdom easily. Vampire bats give blood to those members of the community who were not able to go for search for blood show altruistic behavior.

Actors have altruistic genes that suggest them to behave altruistically. Non-actors may not contain alleles of altruism but the recipient might have altruistic alleles.

Hamilton's rule says that natural selection will favor the altruistic allele when rb > c.

where r = coefficient of relatedness between donor and recipient

          b = benefit received by recipient and

          c = cost paid by altruist.

Therefore, the correct answer is b.
