Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their own food in the presence of sunlight by utilizing carbon-dioxide and water and produces oxygen and energy.

The process of photosynthesis has two types of reactions: light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions.

The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts in which plants use light energy to form ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH.

In this reaction, photosystem II (P700) absorbs lights energy and passed it to reaction center. this energy is then is transferred to photosystem I (P680), that pump an electron to a high energy level. The high-energy electron then travel to an electron transport chain and releases energy. this released energy pump H+  ions into the thylakoid interior from the stroma and build a gradient  H+ ions move through gradient and they pass through ATP synthase resulting in the formation of ATP.

The higher energy electron as moves into an electron transport chain, the electron is passed to NADP+ to form NADPH.

What is the cause of the hydranencephaly? Select one: a. Aqueductal stenosis b. Subaranchoid stenosis c. Overproduction of CSF d
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is d.

Explanation:

Hydranencephaly is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the absence and replacement of the cerebral hemispheres by cerebrospinal fluid and necrotic remains, with preservation of the membranes (leptomeninges), within a skull of normal capacity and shape. It is the most severe form of cortical destruction cerebral bilateral and is considered an extreme form of porencephaly (focal cystic cavity). It mainly affects the territory of the internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery, with preservation of the territories supplied by the vertebrobasilar arteries. The most accepted etiology is carotid vascular insufficiency, due to multiple causes (bleeding, placental thromboembolism, arteritis, vascular malformations, among others).

Using the chemical equation for cellular respiration, explain how the amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide inhaled by the lungs
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

In summary, breathing is the process of inhaling and exhaling through our lungs. It brings oxygen into the body and expels unwanted carbon dioxide. ... Our cells perform cellular respiration with oxygen and glucose to make energy and carbon dioxide.

Two organisms, AABBCCDDEE and aabbccddee, are mated to produce an F1 that is self-fertilized to produce F2. If the capital lette
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) How many genotypes will occur in F2

--The genotypes would be- AA Aa aa BB Bb bb CC Cc cc DD Dd dd EE Ee ee (15 genotypes)

Reason-

This is because, after crossing the parents, the F1 generation would all be Heterozygous dominant since one parent is homozygous dominant, while the other is homozygous recessive.

b) 25% of all F2 genotypes would be recessive across the 5 loci

Reason-

This is because each loci would produce only a 25% chance for a recessive trait, which would results to a general probability of 25% also.

c) Yes i would change my answer in A and B if the parent cross was- AABBCCDDEE X aaBBccDDEE

d) Yes i would change my answer in A and B if the parent cross was- AABBCCDDEE X aabbccddEE
