Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll which is what makes plants green. Onions are not green because they do not contain chloroplasts. The reason they do not have chloroplasts is because in the chloroplast, photosynthesis takes place. A key player in the process of photosynthesis is the sun. The onion itself grows underground which means while they grow they do not come into contact with the sun so chloroplasts in an onion is pointless since they can’t undergo photosynthesis. Hope I helped!

Benedict's test is a test used to confirm simple carbohydrates. it helps in identifying reducing sugars that have free ketone or aldehyde functional groups. Raspberry jam has mainly carbohydrates that can be tested by this indicator.

An iodine test is for the determination of starch which is a non-reducing sugar such as oatmeal

A group of environmentalists were discussing the benefits and drawbacks associated with using fossil fuels. Which argument best
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Fossil fuels are cheaper than alternative forms of energy

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are made from organic matter of dead animals and mainly plants  who were buried in the soil over hundred and thousand of years. We use fossil fuels because they are the best source to provide energy in the current time.

Fossil fuels are easily available and are present in very large amount which is the main reason for it to be cheaper. Fossil fuels like coal, petroleum or natural gas are more cheaper and efficient than alternative forms of energy like solar or wind energy.

But in future these fossil fuel will not be there and alternative forms of energy will become the primary and cheaper source of fuel.

How do pioneer species make ecological succession possible on an island formed from a volcanic eruptions
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is <em>3. they break down rock into soil in which plants can grow</em>

Explanation:

When a disaster is such huge that even the soil and organic matter get removed from the place, then the succession that will occur in such kind of place will be termed as primary succession. For example, a volcanic eruption or an earthquake.

On the other hand, if after a disaster some of the organic matter remains on the land, then the succession that will occur will be termed as secondary succession. E.g a succession after fire

In primary succession, the pioneer species will be plants that require less soil such as the lichens. The lichens will break down the rocks into the soil and eventually new species of plants will start to grow on the land.
