Phototropic organisms can preform photosynthesis.

Heterotrophic organisms  cannot perform synthesis

<u>Explanation:</u>

Phototrophs:

  • Plants, Algae and some bacteria like cyanobacteria perform Photosynthesis to acquire energy. They abssorb energy from the sun to convert into Co2 and water into natural food particles required for the process of biosynthesis and respiration.
  • The presence of chlorophyll makes them eligible for performing photosynthesis.

Heterotrophs:

  • Heterotrophic organisms cannot perform photosynthesis because they are reliant on other organisms for survival. They get energy and carbon by consuming other organisms.
  • Heterotrophic organisms don't possess chlorophyll therefore they are unable to perform photosynthesis.

<u>Answer:</u>

Most plants, most algae and cyanobacteria kinds of organisms (Autotrophs) can perform photosynthesis while heterotrophs are organisms incapable of photosynthesis.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Photosynthesis is a mechanism used among plants as well as other species to transform energy from the sun into chemical energy which may be released later to power the functions of the species.

In autotrophs (organisms who self prepare there food ) with the support of a subsequent series of light-independent reactions like Calvin cycle, creates long-term energy collection in the form of sugars, while some bacteria use different mechanisms like the reverse Krebs cycle to accomplish the same purpose.

Heterotrophs are entities unable to photosynthesize and, by eating certain species, must therefore obtain energy and carbon from the food. In the term heterotroph: hetero means "other" while troph means "feeder", thus their food depends on other species.

The Greatest salt lake in Utah has a saline content that can be up to ten times greater than the ocean. It is fed by three fresh
Vesnalui [34]

The tributaries carry small amounts of salt into the lake

<u>Explanation</u>:

The Greatest salt lake is one of the most saline inland water body in the world.The water carried to this lake by the tributaries is very less as compared to the amount  of the salt present in the lake. Rest part of the salt remains in the lake as such.

When the water from the lake gets evaporated, it leaves behind the salt. When time passes by, or years of inflow and evaporation salts they gets deposited layer over layer. The amount of salt added leads to formation of new minerals on the sea floor.

The continental crust is
Ludmilka [50]

<em>The continental crust is up to 70 km thick.</em>  

<u>Explanation</u>:

Upto 40% of the earth is made up of continental crust. <em>Sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic ricks </em>make up the continental crust. It makes up the upper layer of <em>continents and shallow seabed</em> areas near the shores.  

<em>Continental crust</em> is thicker than oceanic crust with a thickness ranging from <em>25 km to 70km continental crust</em> makes up 70% of earth’s volume and is usually located above sea level with a few exceptions like the <em>Zealand continental crust</em> region which is largely under water.

In humans, albinism (lack of pigment isn’t he skin and eyes and hair) is due to recessive gene. Suppose that a normally pigmente
snow_lady [41]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>There are equal chances for the second child becoming albino and not becoming albino.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u><u> </u>

Albinism is due to the presence of a recessive gene. <em>Thus every individual should have two copies of this recessive gene in order to be an albino. </em>Recessive genes express only if they occur in pair.  

If not the dominant gene trait will be expressed in the organism. Here an albino woman is having children with a normally pigmented man. The cross can be represented as

<em>Let p represent the abnormal pigment gene in albino and P represent the gene for normal pigmentation.</em> The fact that the first child is albino suggests that the genotype of the man is Pp.  

Pp \times pp

Pp                               Pp                               pp                        pp

<em>Here there is equal probability for the child becoming and not becoming albino.Thus the probability that the second child also being albino is ½. </em>

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer: <u>Proteinuria </u>

Explanation: This condition causes the body to loose excess amount of protein in the blood, which pass out through urine.

Pyuria is a condition where WBC's and pus cells are present in the urine. But this happens during a urinary tract infection commonly. And polyuria is a state where excess amount of urine is passed from the body. This is not observed during glomerulonephritis.
