Answer: Option D. Mitochondria

Explanation:

Mitochondria is an organelles that act as the power plants of the cell.

Mitochondria is surrounded by two membranes, and have their own genome. The outer of membrane of mitochondria surrounds inner membrane completely with small intermembrane space in between.

The inner membrane contains proteins which participates in electron transport and ATP synthesis. the inner membrane surrounds the mitochondrial matrix and during the citric acid cycle, it produces electrons which further travel from one protein complex to other protein in the inner membrane. As the result of this electron transport chain, oxygen accepts the final electron and forms water and at the same time ATP is produced.

Hence, the correct option is mitochondria.

The chemical equation below shows the photosynthesis reaction.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Firstly, you should notice that for each 6moles of CO2 6moles of H2O is to be consumed in parallel for the reaction to occur. So it is 6:6 relation which means 1:1 relation. So whatever number of moles of CO2, the number of moles of H2O consumed should be exactly the same.
The equation to find the number of moles is:
#moles= mass used of the material/ molar mass of the material.
Now look closely, you only have both the used mass and the molar mass of CO2, and using the fact we mentioned before, so using the equation to find #moles of CO2 will give us a number that is exactly equal to the number of moles of H2O.
#moles of CO2= #moles of H2O= mass CO2/ molar mass CO2=
$528 \div 44.01 = 12$
So #moles of H2O= 12mole.

Hope this helps.

Why taenia solium is not digested by human intestines?

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

that's an pretty interesting question

Explanation:

For the simple reason that no digestion takes place in the human intestines. Digestion takes place in the stomach. Intestines are where the nutrients are absorbed into the body, and the conditions there are much more favourable for parasites like tapeworms. The stomach produces hydrochloric acid strong enough to burn a hole in a rug and is also home to lot of other strong digestive enzymes. Any tapeworm venturing there would get digested in seconds.

R- is about red color

r- is about white color

if we have Rr ( XRXr)- that will be red color

white color is only when is only "r" (XrY) or only "rr" ( XrXr)
