Explanation:

Photosynthesis takes place within the chloroplasts.

Photosynthesizing cells in algae and plants have structures called chloroplasts. These contain chlorophyll, a specialized compound which facilitates the conversion of light energy to energy stored in carbohydrates in the process photosynthesis. Pigment molecules like chlorophyll in plants and other organisms reflect and absorb light at specific parts of light's electromagnetic spetrum.

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released. This occurs in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent.

Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II. Additionally, in the light dependent reactions, within chloroplasts of plants, water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent; it reduces the molecule NADP to NADPH by providing H+ ions. NADP and NADPH are integral to the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules.

Explain in detail how to decide the number of replications in a simulation study. Use fixed-sample-size and sequential procedure

erik [133]

Explanation:

Fixed sample size:

In this fixed sample size the data is studied and checked in order to find a relationship. The benefits it is easy to produce, and with it less reliable outcomes can be given.

Sequential procedures:

→Sequential procedures helps while we are collecting the data.

→At an interim analysis, data collection can be stopped whenever the results are convincing enough to conclude an effect is present.

→Or otherwise the more data can be collected, or if needed the study can be terminated whenever it is extremely unlikely the predicted effect will be observed if data collection would be continued.

→In this two or more blocks of different sizes are prepared for testing.

→Pros being it provides better results and is less time taking, as we can stop once the relation is seen, con being it is difficult to perform.

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Umbilical cord

Explanation:

The umbilical cord connects the fetus to the placenta and through it exchanges nutritional substances as well as oxygen-rich blood. The umbilical cord is maintained throughout gestation until the moment of birth, when it is cut and leaves a permanent scar, the navel. The umbilical cord is responsible for breathing and feeding the fetus until the moment it is born, so any failure or blockage in the circulation of oxygen and nutrients through the cord can lead to injury or even death of the embryo. It also serves to remove waste and carbon dioxide (CO2).
