Answer:

If one amoeba dies then two amoeba get born:

at different stages of the generations of the amoeba it changes accordingly and the died amoeba numbers are also change in the given manner :

          stages    dies                          born

          I               1                                2

          II              2^{1}           4 = 2^{2}

          III              2^{2}          8 = 2^{3}

At  n^{th} =  2^{n}    2^{n+1}

By the geometric series formula:

 1+a^{1}+ a^{2}+ a^{3}...+ a^{n}=\frac{a^{n+1} }{a^-1} }

so,  1+2^{1}+ 2^{2}+ 2^{3}...+ 2^{n}=\frac{2^{n+1} }{2^-1} }

Thus, total amoeba died = 2^{n+1}-1

        total amoeba died+1 = 2^{n+1} (born).... hence prooved

Which of the following is NOT true?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

The answer is C.

It is not true that CO2 is released during photosynthesis, rather its the opposite. Carbon dioxide is a raw material for the production of  starches and cellulose through photosynthesis. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is captured during the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis then used for the production of starch, glucose and cellulose in the light independent reactions (Calvin cycle)  of photosynthesis.

In aerobic cellular respiration, oxygen rather than Carbon dioxide is a requirement because it is needed as the terminal electron acceptor in the production of ATP.

How fertilization occur in flowering plant​
Ghella [55]
Answer: For flowering plants, fertilization occurs through a process known as double fertilization. Unlike most plants, double fertilization enables the new seed to grow into a new plant and have a food source to begin growing. Double fertilization occurs within the female part of a plant, the pistol.

explanation: When pollen is formed by the anther, or male part of a plant, it will blow in the wind or attach to an organism that carries it to the top of the pistol, known as the stigma. Once the pollen attaches to the stigma, the pollen germinates and forms a pollen tube that extends into the ovary. Once formed, two sperm cells will be released and fertilize both the egg and the two polar nuclei of the plant to form the zygote and endosperm, respectfully.
