Why does a caterpillar use captured light energy

Biology
1 answer:
Arte-miy333 [17]3 years ago
8 0
Because a caterpillar is a heterotroph and it cannot make its own food so it relies on the energy in plant sugars and by eating plants it gets energy from the sun in an indirect way.  So to put it simply, the caterpillar uses light captured energy for energy.

What might happen to the Earth if human increase the amount of greenhouse gasses?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Global warming will occur

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases are special gaseous compounds that have this ability to trap HEAT due to their structural composition. They include; carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), methane (CH4) etc.

Anthropogenic activities such as burning of fossil fuels etc. release these gases into the atmosphere where they cause harm to the Earth. Greenhouse gases contribute immensely to the GLOBAL WARMING EFFECT, which is the increase in the temperature of the Earth surface. Therefore, if humans increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere via their actions, there will be a GLOBAL WARMING occurrence.

Emily has been asked to find out how
Juliette [100K]

She should investigate how temperature affects the rate of oxygen production.

<h3>Photosynthesis</h3>

During photosynthesis, green plants make use of inorganic products in the form of water and carbon dioxide to synthesize carbohydrates. The reaction only happens in the presence of solar radiation and oxygen is evolved as a by-product.

The process involves a series of chemical reactions. However, the summary of the whole reactions is represented by the following equation:

carbon dioxide + water ----> glucose + oxygen

Thus, if Emily is to find out how temperature affects photosynthesis. She will need to use a plant as a case study. One factor that can easily be used to measure the rate of photosynthesis is oxygen production by plants.

In other words, Emily will have to set up an experiment where a plant species will be subjected to the same environmental conditions, except temperature. Then, a suitable method will be used to measure the amount of oxygen produced. Any difference in the volume of oxygen produced can then be attributed to the effects of temperature.

Which of the following statements describes the central dogma of molecular biology?
BARSIC [14]
<span>Q1. The answer is A.Biological information in a cell passes from DNAto RNA to proteins. The biological information is the part of DNA. During transcription, DNA is transcribed into RNA which now serves as a template for the synthesis of proteins. Thus, the central dogma of molecular biology describes how biological information in a cell passes from DNA to RNA to proteins.
     
Q2. The answer is D. 46. In a human diploid somatic cell (2n), there are 23 chromosomes present in two copies - 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. So, in a normal human karyotype there will be in total 46 chromosomes (23 pairs in 2 copies: 23 × 2 = 46).
   
Q3. The answer is A. inbreeding. Inbreeding is a breed from closely related organisms. Inbreeding causes a decrease of genetic variation by increasing homozygosity. This way, it can cause the genetic defect by bringing two recessive alleles together.</span>
