Select the correct statement about chemical energy, a term used by biologists to refer to potential energy available for release

in a chemical reaction. Light energy is converted to chemical energy during photosynthesis. When a glucose molecule is catabolized to CO2 and H2O, chemical energy is lost. A photosynthetic cell within a plant leaf produces chemical energy, stored within glucose molecules.

Answer:

A photosynthetic cell within a plant leaf produces chemical energy, stored within glucose molecules.

Explanation:

The energy captured from sunlight by Photosystems in chlorophyll is used to split a water molecule and reduce carbon dioxide to carbohydrates. This energy from sunlight is therefore stored in the chemical bonds of the glucose molecules. It is thereafter harnessed during cellular respiration when the chemical bonds of glucose are broken and the energy transferred to make ATP molecules.

Answer:

Option A , Light energy is converted to chemical energy during photosynthesis.

Explanation:

In the process of photosynthesis, a plant containing chlorophyll converts solar light energy into chemical energy.

The common reaction of photosynthesis is

Carbon dioxide + Water + energy from sun ------> Glucose + carbon dioxide

Thus, energy from sun is used to excite photon with in the thalokoid of plant cell to initiate photosynthesis and then as a result of this process food (glucose containing chemical energy ) and carbon dioxide is formed.

Hence, option A is correct

The CRISPR/Cas9 system can cleave genomic DNA at sequences other than the desired target, a phenomenon referred to as off target
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The minimum length of a sgRNA sequence to avoid off target cleavage by the CRISPR/Cas system in the fly fruit genome is 14 bases

Explanation:

We are trying to use the CRISPR/Cas system to cleavage the genome of the fruit fly (which is 1.4x10^8 bp long). Also we desire the cleavage to be unique. That means we need a target sequence long enough to be able to assume it will only appear once in the genome.

First, we should think that in every position, we can find one out of four different nucleotide (A, C, T, G). So, the probability of getting a sequence of a given length "n" will be (1/4)^n (We are assuming that the probability of finding a nucleotide in the position "i", it's independent of the nucleotide we find in any other position "j").

Also, to know how many times a sequence will appear in a genome (the expected value of occurrence), we must multiply the probability of that sequence to randomly occur by the length of the genome. For our specific example, the number of occurence of a sequence of length "n" is:

nºoccurence=[(1/4)^n]*1.4*10^8

But in this case, what we want is the expected number of times the sequence will appear to be 1, and we want to obtain the length of the target sequence (n).

Given the information above, we know that:

[(1/4)^n]*1.4*10^8 =1

[(1/4)^n]=(1/1.4*10^8)=1.4*10^-8

Then, if we want to calculate n, we can use logarithms and its properties to get:

log[(1/4)^n]=log[1.4*10^-8]

n*log[(1/4)]=log[1.4*10^-8]

n=log[1.4*10^-8]/log[(1/4)] => n=13.29 approximately.

As the sequence needs to have a natural number of elements, <u>we can conclude that using a target sequence of a minimum of 14 bases with the CRISPR/Cas system in the fly fruit genome should be enough to avoid off target cleavage.</u>

PLEASE HELP ME QUICKLYYY
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Option C. Glucose.

Explanation:

Glucose is produced when carbondioxode is entered

in the plant body from the surrounding air through stomata and water is absorbed by the plant from soil through roots in the presence of sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis which occurs in plants for the preparation of food materials. Here food refers to glucose molecules. Oxygen is also produced in this process.

Describe how fish are farmed
Alex787 [66]

Answer: Fish are farmed by breeding them in controlled environments. Kennels sort of. They are huge cages in man-made resivours with temperature and water control. Once they have grown to be a certain size they are extracted and killed for their meat while the eggs are used to produce another batch of fish. Hope this was helpful :).

HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLY!! The dominant allele is not completely expressed when the recessive allele is present.
klasskru [66]

Answer:

I will give you an explanation, and try to figure it out!!

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance can occur because neither of the two alleles is fully dominant over the other, or because the dominant allele does not fully dominate the recessive allele. This results in a phenotype that is different from both the dominant and recessive alleles, and appears to be a mixture of both.
