IRISSAK [1]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is A. carbon fixation.

Explanation:

Carboxisomes are the microcompartment which is present in cyanobacteria and some chemotrophic bacteria which contain an enzyme called RuBisCO. This enzyme is responsible for carbon fixation in bacteria and plants.

Carboxysomes contain many polyhedron proteins that contain these enzymes which do carbon fixation in the Calvin cycle. As in carboxysome, the concentration of CO2 around RuBisCO is high so the competition with O2 is decreased or eliminated that favors carbon fixation and production of organic compounds. So the correct answer is A.

A recent study of the marine hawksbill turtle's stomach contents revealed that sponges constitute a major portion of their diet.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

These structures that protect the sponges from most predators, but not turtles, are spicules.

Explanation:

Sponges <em>skeleton</em> is composed of <em>calcium carbonate and siliceous</em> micro-structures called <u>spicules</u>. Their morphology is so varied that it is used in taxonomy for identification and classification.

There are different kinds of spicules:

-         <em>Monoaxonic spicule</em>: needle-shaped, straights or curves

-         <em>Tetraxonic spicules:</em> they have four prolongations

-         <em>Triaxonic or Hexaxonic spicules</em>

-         <em>Poliaxonic spicules </em>

Two terms can be applied to any of these spicules kinds:

-         <em>Megaspicules</em>: They are elongated and compose the main architecture of the sponge skeleton

-         <em>Microspicules</em>: Variable in shape and size, with ancillary functions

Sponges have few predators thank to the spicule structures and their high toxicity. Many of them are capable of perforating soft tissues and producing urticant substances.

Describe the structure of mitochondria and explain their role in respiration .
oksano4ka [1.4K]
The mitochondria is a double membraned organelle, the inner of these membranes is invaginated to form structures called cristae. The fluid inside is called the mitochondrial matrix. The mitochondria has a pivotal role in the creation of ATP in aerobic cellular respiration. Glycolysis occurs outside the mitochondria, producing pyruvate and ATP, the pyruvate endures the link reaction on its way into the mitochondrial matrix and turns into acetyl co enzyme A. This acetyl group is used in the matrix in what is called Krebs cycle, where the oxidation of acetyl groups is coupled with the reduction of hydrogen carriers. The products of Krebs cycle are then transported to the electron transport chain on the cristae where the reduced NADH and FADH are then oxidized. The remaining hydrogen electrons are transported down the chain where an oxygen molecule is reduced to water. Chemiosmosis also occurs at the electron transport chain, in which hydrogen protons move down the concentration gradient (from the inner mitochondrion membrane) through an ATP synthase where ATP is generated. The multiple folds inside the mitochondria which are the cristae, mean that there is plenty of surface area for cellular respirations to occur at.
