A sudden shift in the tectonic plates of the earth
Biomolecules are organic compounds that are present as essential components of living things. There are four major biomolecules namely lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Proteins, lipids and glucose are usually used by organisms as energy sources as well as structural components among other functions in living organisms. Nucleic acids are important components that bring about heredity. In this case the appropriate molecule to be chosen by the long distance learner would be carbohydrate because it stores and may be used as a source of energy.
Answer:
Energy produced by respiration is stored in Adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP.
Explanation:
Cellular respiration uses glucose and turns it into ATP. Using NADH and FADH₂ (Created in the Krebs Cycle) in the Electron Transport Chain, we can produce 32-38 molecules of ATP. ATP carries a lot of energy, and your cells and body uses ATP (ATP is basically like a large battery).
Besides producing sugar for itself a plant also needs to absorb nitrogen to build proteins, salts to make concentration gradients and potassium to make enzymes.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Plant sugar is glucose and plants produce it by the process of photosynthesis making use of energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide absorbed from the atmosphere and the presence of chlorophyll in its parts. Plants also require components other than this. Nitrogen is essential to make proteins and it cannot be directly absorbed from the atmosphere but has to be absorbed from the soil.
Potassium is an essential component which is absorbed from the soil. It facilitates the activation of enzymes which play a crucial role in plant metabolism. When plants lack potassium they won’t have enough energy for proper growth and will have poorly formed roots and weak stems.
Answer:
The correct answer is option B, that is, an endoskeleton evolved to enclose the dorsal nerve cord, which develops from the notochord.
Explanation:
It has been discovered that the ancestors of the modern-day fish were vertebrate chordates. The vertebrate chordates are considered to have evolved from the invertebrate chordates that are identical to the present day tunicates. It has been found that in vertebrates the endoskeleton has evolved to encompass the dorsal nerve cord that has been developed from the notochord (a characteristic of invertebrates).
