Answer:

during the gamete formation, both the male and female gamete are haploid to fuse and form a diploid zygote

Explanation:

the male gamete is the sperm and the female gamete is the egg. A normal human being has 46 chromosomes and have 23 pair of chromosomes. During fertilization the chromosomes are divided or halved i.e they are haploid. The male gamete gets 23 chromosomes  and the female gamete gets 23 chromosomes. During the fertilization the male and female gamete join and form a diploid zygote that has 46 chromosomes.

The correct answer is D. Digestion.

Digestion is termed as the breakdown of food which has large insoluble molecules to small soluble molecules which makes them to be absorbed in the blood plasma.

Based on the way which food is being broken, it will depend on the form of catabolism which is used in the digestion. For example, catabolism is divided into chemical and mechanical digestion where mechanical digestion breaks down large to small pieces of food.

Those pieces of food are accessed by digestive system. In chemical digestion it is the enzymes which broke down molecules of food.

A student claims that cellular respiration is essential to cells so that they have a means for getting rid of excess carbon diox
Romashka [77]

1. Cellular respiration does not consume carbon dioxide (CO2).

Cellular respiration is a process by which plants produce energy. It consists of anaerobic (without O2) and aerobic phase(with the presence of O2). During the cellular respiration chemical energy derived from the nutrients (like glucose) is transformed into energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

2. Unlike photosynthesis, cellular respiration occurs in all eukaryotic organisms (photosynthesis only in plants and some microorganisms). The processes of cellular respiration occur in cytosol (glycolysis) and in the mitochondrion of a cell (Krebs cycle and electron transport chain).
