The correct answer is option C, that is, it makes its own food.  

The autotrophs accumulate chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates, which they produce themselves. Food is the chemical energy accumulated in organic molecules. The majority of autotrophs convert sunlight to produce food, by the process known as photosynthesis.  

Only three species groups, that is, plants, some bacteria, and algae possess the tendency to perform the process of photosynthesis. The autotrophs are also known as producers, they start the food chains and feed all the forms of life.

<h2>ANSWER:</h2>

C.It makes its own food.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

An  autotroph is an organism that can create its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other substances. Because they can generate their own food, they are seldom called producers. Most autotrophs practice a process called photosynthesis to manufacture their food. In photosynthesis, autotrophs utilize energy from the sun to convert water from the soil and carbon dioxide from the air into a nutrient called glucose. Glucose is a kind of carbohydrate. The glucose supplies energy to plants. Plants also use glucose to produce cellulose, a substance they use to develop and manufacture cell walls.

When comparing the yield of ATP from the different stages of cellular respiration, which produces the greatest number of ATP
REY [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is - electron transport system.

Explanation:

There are 3 main stages of cellular respiration (aerobic) that are Glycolysis, the Kreb's Cycle and the ETS or Electron Transport Chain. The formation of energy in ATPare as follows:

Glycolysis - glucose > 2 Pyretic Acid Molecules =>2 ATP and Hydrogen

The Krebs Cycle - Citric Acid (a derivative of Pyruvic Acid) > 2 ATP in 4 cycles and  Hydrogen, carbon dioxide and water.

The Electron Transport Chain > electron carrying Hydrogens > releases the energy as 4 ATP and water

Thus, the correct answer is - The Electron Transport Chain is the stage that produces most of the ATP during cellular respiration.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is inherited as an X-linked recessive allele in humans. A woman whose father
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

(a) 1/2; (b) no

Explanation:

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is an X-linked recessive disorder and the woman's father was diseased so it means that woman is a carrier of the allele but has normal phenotype. It means that she will have XXᵇ genotype.

In contrast to this, her husband is diseased so his genotype will be XᵇY.

The Punnett square diagram related to the cross is attached.

(a) Proportion of their sons expected to be G6PD is 1/2:

They both may give birth to 4 progeny with genotypes XXᵇ, XᵇXᵇ, XY and XᵇY. It means they both may have 2 sons out of which one with genotype XᵇY will be diseased while the one with genotype XY will be healthy. So the proportion of their sons having G6PD is 1/2 or 50%.

(b) If the husband were G6PD deficient, the answer will not change.

The reason behind this is that this disease is caused by an allele located in X chromosome. But father contributes only Y chromosome to his son not X chromosome. The X chromosome will affect the genotype of his daughter not son that is why answer will not change. It means they will still have 1/2 of their sons diseased.

A substance that moves from by passive transport tends to move
makvit [3.9K]
You see, passive transport needs no energy. So that being said, it moves from areas with high concentration to areas with low concentration.

Hope that helps!

The golgi complex packages cellular products that will be exported from the cell into which structures?.
Step2247 [10]

The  golgi complex package cellular products that will be exported from the cell into secretary vesicle structure.

<h3>What does the golgi apparatus export?</h3>

A golgi apparatus is a organelle that helps process and package protein and lipid molecules , especially proteins destined to be exported from the cell .

Secretory vesicle stores molecules and proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum and golgi apparatus until the cell is ready to release them .

The fusion of haploid gametes is called
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

FERTILIZATION

Explanation:

Fertilization, the fusion of haploid gametes from two individuals, restores the diploid condition. Thus, sexually reproducing organisms alternate between haploid and diploid stages. However, the ways in which reproductive cells are produced and the timing between meiosis and fertilization vary greatly.
