What organisms save water by turning carbon dioxide into a special carbon compound before carrying out photosynthesis?

Biology
1 answer:
larisa [96]3 years ago
6 0

The correct answer is C4 plants.  

A plant that cycles carbon dioxide into four-carbon sugar components to get into the Calvin cycle is known as a C4 plant. These plants are very effective in dry, hot climates and produce ample energy. Various foods one consumes are C4 plants like pineapple, corn, and sugar cane.

In the C4 plants, at the start carbon fixation occurs in the mesophyll cells and the Calvin cycle occurs in the bundle-sheath cells. The PEP carboxylase combines with an incoming molecule of carbon dioxide to the three carbon-molecule PEP, generating a four carbon molecule, that is, oxaloacetate.

HELP FAST write a 3 sentence explanation of this picture using the terms bioaccumulation and biomagnification
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:Bioaccumulation occurs when toxins build up - or accumulate - in a food chain. The animals at the top of the food chain are affected most severely. This is what happens: Small amounts of toxic substances - often pesticides or pollution from human activity - are absorbed by plants.while biomagnification is the process by which toxins are passed from one trophic level to the next (and thereby increase in concentration) within a food web. ... dissolve into the fatty tissues of living organisms.

The average female Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) produces two million eggs in a single spawning. How does this relate to natural s
Alex Ar [27]
This is a typical example of R selection life strategy. These species, including the Atlantic cod, produce a large number of offspring with a low chance of surviving to adulthood. This strategy is particularly successful in environments that are unstable. The main advantage of this strategy in changing environments is that the ''cost'' of making offspring is very low, so you the species can produce large numbers offspring, ensuring that at least some of them will survive into adulthood and continue the species.
Natural selection, in this case, favors the individuals that are able to adapt the fastest to the changing conditions.

Which of the following is a disadvantage to the coal-to-liquid production of synthetic fuels
Ludmilka [50]
A disadvantage of coal to liquid production of synthetic fuels is THAT IT REQUIRES MORE COAL MINING.
The coal to liquid production of synthetic fuels involves the conversion of solid coal to liquid fuel.This can be done either directly or indirectly through chemical processes. The process has many advantages, including: improvement in national and economic security, less dependence on foreign oil, provision of some environmental benefits, such as cleaner oil. But one disadvantage of this process is that it requires extensive coal mining.

saw5 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is A    DNA  is replicated before mitosis begins

Explanation:

DNA replication is one of the most significant event of a cell cycle. .DNA replication occur in the S phase or synthesis phase of the cell cycle.

       DNA is replicated once per cycle to maintain to normal chromosome number in daughter cells.

     DNA is replicated to form two new DNA molecules which are then equally distributed in each daughter cell during the mitosis phase.
