Teratogens affect the fetus and not the mother because teratogens are "environmental exposures" done by the mother. It is an agent that can disturb the development of an embryo of fetus such as drugs or ingestion of harmful substances such as smoking and drinking. What happens is that the toxins are being ingested by the fetus through the umbilical cord where they are being supplied by oxygen and nutrition and instead of providing nutrients harmful substances are being ingested by a growing fetus.

lana [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is -transfer fixed carbon dioxide to cells in which the Calvin cycle occurs

Explanation:

In C4 plants the light reaction and Calvin cycle occurs in two different cell that are mesophyll cell and bundle sheath cells. First, the CO₂ is fixed into 4- carbon oxaloacetate by an enzyme PEP carboxylase.  

Then this oxaloacetate is converted into a simpler form called malate. Malate molecule then enters into bundle sheet cell and there it releases one molecule of CO₂. This CO₂ enters the Calvin cycle which results in the sugar formation with the help of enzyme rubisco.

Therefore by releasing of CO₂ molecule by malate in bundle sheet cells, it transfer fixed carbon for the Calvin cycle to occur.

In which type of environment might water soluble rocks such as limestone or dolostone become ridge formers?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
I would say that the most likely environment for these two rock types to be ridge formers would be an arid climate like a desert where there was little water to dissolve. Also, even in a normal temperate environment, dolomite can form a very resistant ridge or cliff former as is the case with the Palliser Formation in Banff Park which forms a pronounced cliff which is very extensive.
