<u>Answer</u>: Option A) convergent.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • <em>Convergent evolution</em> is a type of evolution in which the organisms evolve independently and attain <em>similar traits</em> in order to adapt to similar environments even though they are<em> not closely related.</em>
  • The similarity can be in terms of body forms, body color, organs, and adaptations.
  • The structures formed due to convergent evolution are analogous structures that perform a similar function but have a different origin.
  • <em>So green and blue algae show convergent evolution as they look similar but are not closely related.</em>

HELP. can someone please answer these questions for me.
rewona [7]

Answer:

The process illustrated in the diagram is the non light dependent reactions of photosynthesis termed as Calvin Cycle.

Explanation:

  • Two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA) are produced or released from step one to step two of Calvin cycle.
  • The source of energy that helps to start step one are ATP and NADPH, mainly derived from the light dependent reaction.
  • The oxygen molecule thus formed by splitting of water is release to the nature as oxygen, which living organisms utilizes in respiration.
  • Carbon dioxide comes from the atmosphere to start the process.
  • Light reactions occurs in the thylakoid membranes of the plant organelles namely chloroplasts.
  • Non-light dependent reaction or Calvin cycle takes place in the stroma chloroplasts.
