The correct answer is option B, Most of the earth is made up of only a few elements

Reason -

The material that commonly exists in earth are as follows:

a) Crust – It is made up of 46.6 % of oxygen by weight, 27.7 % of silicon by weight, 8.1% of aluminium by weight, 5% of iron by weight, 3.6% calcium by weight, 2.8% sodium by weight, 2.6% of potassium by weight etc.  

b) Mantle – it is majorly composed of silicate rocks rich in magnesium and iron

c) Core – The core is mainly made up of nickel iron alloy.  

It  can be clearly visualized that most of the Earth’s layer are composed of majorly few elements like silicon, iron, magnesium, nickel etc.

What is the problem which fermentation is able to FIX?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

  • <u>Cell has a limited supply of NAD+</u>

Explanation:

Cellular respiration occurs in the cytoplasm, where glucose is broken down for energy processing. Energy is produced by aerobic respiration in the presence of oxygen, whereas anaerobic respiration can be carried out in an oxygen-deprived environment.

Fermentation is one kind of anaerobic respiration- here, the cells use glucose to generate a Net 2 molecules of ATP from the 6carbon sugar. Glucose is first converted to pyruvate, which is oxidized in a complex process. While 4 ATP are produced in fermentation, 2ATP are used in regenerating NAD+ from NADH2.

Two types of fermentation include lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation. These occur in single-celled, and multicellular microbes.

Zolol [24]
In his experiment mendel first crossed tall and short peas plant and noticed that the F1 plants were all tall. in the second experiment he crossed the the F1 plants and noticed that short plants reappeared in the rate of 25% in F2 generation. in his third experiment he crossed he crossed F2 plants and noticed that when he crossed some tall plants with the shot plants the F3 generation contained short plant in frequency of 50%. after this observations mendel concluded that there were genes that could be only expressed in homozygous state but not in heterozygous state. these genes were later referred to as recessive alleles wheres the genes that prevented the expression of recessive genes were later referred to as dominant genes.
