I took this in K12, the answer is "A. Gametes"

The right option is; A) gametes

Gametes are reproductive cells (male (sperm) or female (eggs)) that contain only half the usual number of chromosomes and unite during sexual reproduction to produce a new cell (zygote). The mutation for sickle cell anemia occurs in the woman’s gamete (eggs) and this type of mutation is known as germline mutation; a mutation that occur in the germ (reproductive) cells and can be passed on to an organism’s offspring.

Lipophilic hormones function by activating cAMP.
AveGali [126]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Water soluble hormones associate with the G protein of cAMP. This G protein is intra-cellular i.e found inside the cell.  

However in case of lipid derived hormones, the hormone has to diffuse through the cell across the plasma membrane to bind to DNA or the intra-cellular receptors.This regulates the gene transcription and induces protein production that affects the cell functioning for a long time.

Hence, option B is correct

What roles do coralline and calcareous algae play in reefs formation??
borishaifa [10]
Coralline and calcareous algae build-ups are very essential for the development of coral reefs. In addition, when these coralline and calcareous algae tends to "stick" on landforms below the ocean surface, and as these life forms grows and continuously expands, they now form what we call "reefs."

Explain briefly how these features contribute to the efficiency of photosynthesis?​
barxatty [35]

Answer:

here's your answer

Explanation:

the estimated maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis is the energy stored per mole of oxygen evolved, 117/450, or 26 percent.

Consequently, plants can at best absorb only about 34 percent of the incident sunlight. The actual percentage of solar energy stored by plants is much less than the maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis. An agricultural crop in which the biomass (total dry weight) stores as much as 1 percent of total solar energy received on an annual areawide basis is exceptional, although a few cases of higher yields (perhaps as much as 3.5 percent in sugarcane) have been reported. There are several reasons for this difference between the predicted maximum efficiency of photosynthesis and the actual energy stored in biomass. First, more than half of the incident sunlight is composed of wavelengths too long to be absorbed, and some of the remainder is reflected or lost to the leaves

What are the two ways that organisms on the bottom of deep sea food chains acquire energy? a. photosynthesis and chemosynthesis
aliina [53]

The correct answer is (B)  chemosynthesis and marine snow  are the two ways that organisms on the bottom of  deep sea food chains acquire energy.

What is the meaning of chemosynthesis and marine show?

Chemosynthesis is the utilization of energy supplied by inorganic chemical processes to make food in bacteria and other organisms. To generate a sugar, all chemosynthetic organisms require energy provided by chemical processes, although various species employ different methods.

Marine snow is a shower of biological particles that falls from the upper ocean to the deep sea.  Marine snow refers to biological material that descends from higher in the water column. Some flakes fall for several weeks before reaching the ocean floor.
