Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants manufacture their foods using the energy from the sun. Plants are the only living organism that have the ability to tap energy from the sun and use it to produce their food. The food produce by plants are used by plants and all other living organisms for survival. The herbivores feed directly on plants while carnivores feed on herbivores. The omnivores animals feed on both herbivores and carnivores. Thus, all living organisms on the earth depend on photosynthesis and on plants for the production of foods from which they derive the energy that they use to carry out their life activities.

2. Explain how similar and different sexual reproduction in plants and animals is?

muminat

Answer:Both plants and animals reproduce sexually, producing a male and female gamete, which fuse to form a zygote. However, plants are also able to reproduce asexually, unlike most animals. ... In sexual reproduction in animals, the two gametes are the spermatozoa and the oocyte, which when fused become the ovum.

Our bodies do not make starch, but we often eat plant foods which contain starch which we digest into _____________, the buildin

Orlov [11]

The correct answer is glucose.

Glucose is the major carbohydrate that can be absorbed and used by humans for energy. In animals, glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and the muscle tissue in contrast to plants wherein they store glucose as amylose and amylopectin (also known as starch). In digestion of starch, it will start with the saliva where the enzyme salivary amylase will break it down to smaller molecules of starch and limit dextrins. These will be further broken down in the intestines using the pancreatic amylase forming di and trisaccharides. These di and trisaccharides will be metabolized by brush border enzyme to eventually produce glucose (and other monosaccharides that can be absorbed such as fructose and galactose).

During transcription the DNA base sequence is transcribed into a complementary mRNA sequence. A codon table like the one shown b

DIA [1.3K]

Answer: Option B) No, even though the DNA sequence changed, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur.

Explanation:

Since the triplet codon ACG codes for the amino acid threonine, so also ACA codes for threonine, the single base change of Guanine (in ACG) to Adenine (ACA) is insignificant due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.

Thus, the sequence still codes for the same amino acid, so no change in phenotype will occur
