Answer:

Carbon fixation during photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process through which plants synthesise carbohydrates using light energy from the sun. The overall equation is

CO2 + H20 + (energy) → glucose + oxygen

Photosynthesis can be split into two stages: The light-dependent reactions, and the light-independent reactions. Carbon fixation (sometimes called the Calvin cycle) is part of the light independent reactions

During carbon fixation, carbon dioxide is incorporated into a 5 carbon sugar called RuBP. This immediately forms two molecules of 3-PGA, which is converted into G3P. Some of the G3P is used to synthesise sugars, and the rest is used to regenerate RuBP.

Answer:

Carbon fixation

Explanation:

In this reaction, carbon dioxide reacts with hydrogen ions formed during the light stage to form glucose.This is a complex process involving several enzyme-catalyzed reactions. The process requires energy which is provided by the ATP formed during the light reactions.

Do terrestrial dicot and monocot roots have root caps?

aksik [14]

Answer:

Yes The cap is present on all roots except those of parasites and in mycorrhizal roots .The roots of aquatic plants have vestigial caps when young but the initial soon die and the cap disappear. The calyptrogen initiate root cap in monocots. In the dicots the cap appears to be a specialized development of the epidermis. In Monocots the cap has attained independent origin.

What are the five main phases of the cell cycle? What are the main events in each?

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

In the adult organism, mitosis plays a role in cell replacement, wound healing and tumour formation. Mitosis, although a continuous process, is conventionally divided into five stages: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Cell cycle has different stages called G1, S, G2, and M. G1 is the stage where the cell is preparing to divide. To do this, it then moves into the S phase where the cell copies all the DNA.

Explain how seasonal fires benefit grassland ecosystems.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Without fires, there would be no life on Earth . Fires are key to maintaining the proper oxygen concentration in the atmosphere; fire regulates the carbon cycle and life, as we know it, is based precisely on carbon

Explanation:

Although we tend to think of fires as a human invention that kills plants, animals, people, fire, as with rain or wind, is an essential natural component, basic to maintain the planet's biodiversity.

As for example, grassland ecosystems are also benefited by the same fires that allow renewal, and generate natural sustainability on the earth through the carbon cycle.
