Answer:

It’s no surprise that the digestive system is directly linked to the immune system. Whether or not the immune system is at it’s peak depends on the healthiness of the digestive tract.

The digestive system is responsible for your overall well-being. It breaks down the food you eat into essential nutrients that help repair cells, stimulate growth, and give your body energy. The digestive system also protects your body from harmful invaders that could disrupt healthy living. There are bad bacteria present even in the most nutritious foods you eat that the digestive system is constantly fighting. In order to do this, good bacteria in the gut, specialized immune cells, and hormones work together to keep the GI tract at its optimum level.

1. What is the Photosynthesis EQUATION? What is being consumed and what is produced?

Alla [95]

1. 6CO2 + H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 02

2. The idea of photosynthesis or light dependent reactions is to convert solar/light energy into chemical energy by the form of ATP and NADPH. CO2 and Water are consumed and react to release Glucose and 02. Approximately 36-38 ATP produced.

3. Water is the source of hydrogen atoms in the glucose (sugar) created by the photosynthesis reaction.

4 .
Step 1) The light absorbed by chlorophyll causes a transfer of electrons and H+ from H20 molecules already present. This causes the H20 to split into molecular 0xygen (02) and a H+ ion.

Step 2.) The O2 is released (we breathe it) and the H+ bonds to NADP+ creating NADPH

Step 3) ATP is formed through photophosphorylation. (ADP gets a phosphate group added to it creating ATP)

Step 4.) The NADPH and the ATP created here go on to fuel the reactions in the second part of photosynthesis - The Calvin Cycle

5. The Calvin cycle is a metabolic process that uses the carbon from carbon dioxide, along with energy in the form of ATP, to produce sugar.
A G3P molecule contains three fixed carbon atoms, so it takes two G3Ps to build a six-carbon glucose molecule. It would take six turns of the cycle.

6. To help synthesize carbohydrates for energy

7. In fixation, the first stage of the Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions are initiated; CO2 is fixed from an inorganic to an organic molecule. In the second stage, ATP and NADPH are used to reduce 3-PGA into G3P; then ATP and NADPH are converted to ADP and NADP +, respectively

In garden peas, tall (T) vine is dominant over short (t) vine, and round pea pod (R) is dominant over wrinkled pea pod (r). Cro

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Traits

T (tall, dominant) and t (short)

R (round, dominant) and r (wrinkle)

Crossing parents

hetero-zygous. tall wrinkled (Ttrr)

phenotype tall is given hetero-zygous., so Tt

phenotype wrinkled is recessive, so must be homo-zygous rr

Foiled genotypes (Tr, tr, each with 50%)

short hetero-zygous. round (ttRr)

phenotype short is recessive, so homo-zygous rr

phenotype round is given heteroz. so Rr

Foiled genotypes (tR, tr, each with 50%)
