Answer:
The correct answer is - d. gradualism.
Explanation:
Gradualism is a model of evolution that explains that the smaller variation in an individual organism that is occurring over a period of the time is to the betterment of the organism in their environment.
These changes or variations allow them to thrive and survive with a slow successive change in an evolutionary line or the whole population. It is a consistent process.
Thus, the correct answer is - D. gradualism.
Answer:
The correct answer is d. photorespiration
Explanation:
In the C3 plant, the Rubisco enzyme is important that fix CO2 into organic molecule by binding with CO2. Rubisco can also bind to oxygen when the oxygen concentration increases in cells which leads to the loss of fixed CO2 and waste of energy which is called photorespiration.
So when stomata are open CO2 comes in and O2 goes out of the cell which maintains the high CO2 concentration in the cell but during hot days C3 plants close stomata to prevent water loss.
So closing of stomata decrease the intake of CO2 and increase the oxygen concentration inside the cell. So in increased temperature and high oxygen concentration, the rubisco enzymes bind to O2 and promote photorespiration.
Elements in the first row (hydrogen and helium) will have outer electrons in the first energy level. Their principal quantum number is 1. Elements in the second row (lithium through neon) will have valence electrons in the second energy level with a principal quantum number of 2.
