The rate of O2 production by the light reactions varies with the intensity of light because light is required as the energy sour

ce for O2 formation. Thus, lower light levels generally mean a lower rate of O2 production.
In addition, lower light levels also affect the rate of CO2 uptake by the Calvin cycle. This is because the Calvin cycle needs the ATP and NADPH produced by the light reactions. In this way, the Calvin cycle depends on the light reactions.
But is the inverse true as well? Do the light reactions depend on the Calvin cycle?
Suppose that the concentration of CO2 available for the Calvin cycle decreased by 50% (because the stomata closed to conserve water).
Which statement correctly describes how O2 production would be affected? (Assume that the light intensity does not change.)
a. The rate of O2 production would decrease because the rate of ADP and NADP+ production by the Calvin cycle would decrease.
b. The rate of O2 production would decrease because the rate of G3P production by the Calvin cycle would decrease.
c. The rate of O2 production would remain the same because the light intensity did not change.
d. The rate of O2 production would remain the same because the light reactions are independent of the Calvin cycle.

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Yes, the light reactions also depend upon the Calvin cycle. Calvin cycle refers to a phenomenon that is used by the plants and algae to convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into sugar, the food needed by the autotrophs in order to grow. The plants rely upon the Calvin cycle for food and energy.  

In the given case, the rate of oxygen production would get diminish as the rate of ATP and NADP+ generated by the Calvin cycle diminishes. Of all the outcomes of the Calvin cycle, ADP and NADP+ are the only ones that get utilized by light reactions.  

The ADP and NADP+ are used up by the light reactions to fuel their reactions. This illustrates that if the rate of ADP and NADP+ generated by the Calvin cycle diminishes the production of oxygen by the light reactions also diminishes.

Answer:

The correct option is option b that is<em> Homo erectus</em> is the common ancestor of<em> Homo neanderthalensis</em> and<em> Homo sapiens.</em>

Explanation:

<em>Homo erectus </em>appears about 2 mya, possibly during the Pleistocene  epoch and are considered as direct ancestor of human.They are called as upright man as they use legs for walking without any support.They are thought to be capable of doing certain things like hunting, starting fire,art making, create speech etc.

<em>Homo neanderthal</em> was the most recent ancestor species of modern human as they appear about 40,000 years ago.

They became extinct as they did't fight against environmental hazards and the major cause of their extinction that scientists have claimed that they did't adapt the modern techniques that the modern human does.

Which is true of genes?
stepan [7]

Answer:

They are sections of DNA that produce the proteins that control an organism's characteristics.

Explanation:

  • <em><u>Genes are units of heredity found in a certain place on a chromosome and that codes for a certain product.</u></em>
  • A trait of an organism is a characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring through its genes .
  • Genes are sections of DNA that contains information which controls a trait. Therefore, a trait depends on genes. Therefore; genes are the sections or segments of DNA that code for a specific trait in organisms.

What would happen to the size of the lion population if elephants usually won this competition
Vladimir79 [104]
Lions have many other sources of prey so they would most likely still be alive. If we are excluding the existence of other animals, then lions would decrease in population after fourteen days (longest they can go without food).
