Answer:

C) CO2 is fixed at night when the stomata are open photosynthesis occurs at night

Explanation:

CAM plants exhibit temporal separation of CO2 uptake and CO2 fixation to reduce the water loss. Air is moist and cooler at night. These plants open the stomata at night to allow the CO2 to enter the leaf cells. The entered CO2 is fixed into oxaloacetate which in turn is reduced into malate and is stored in vacuoles. Stomata remain closed during day time to prevent water loss. Decarboxylation of malate releases CO2 which in turn enters the C3 cycle to form glucose.

Answer: Hypothalamus

The brain coordinates the physical changes that occur during puberty and the hypothalamus plays an especially important role in this process.

- gonads (ovaries and testes), responsible for producing many of the sex hormones and hence, development of sexual characterictics

- thyroid, responsible for producing thyroxine, responsible for body metabolism and development.

Thus, hypothalamus plays important role in puberty

What might occur when mitosis is not stopped or occurs quickly due to the presence of cancer.  
leva [86]
In a cell, there are several parts of it that are there to stop this from happening. Cancerous cells do not have the genetic code to stop growing and reproducing. A regular cell will actually destroy itself it there is a mutation. If it does not get destroyed, it could potentially be tumorous, then it could eventually be cancerous.
