The skin acts as the outer protective shield for the internal organs present in the body. it act as a barrier and protects the organs from damage from heat, injury, light and the infections. When the skin is damaged, such as in the second and the third-degree burns, this protective barrier is broken, and the internal organs are exposed to damage and infections as the bacteria now have a direct access to the inner organs. The bacteria breeding in the burn wounds are often antibiotic-resistant and fatal. Hence, the antibiotics taken by Tessa might not work on them and further increase her risk of infection.

Answer:

A) Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is an organic compound that provides energy for many different metabolic processes. In the chloroplasts, ATP is a product of the first stage of photosynthesis, and it provides energy for the second stage. NADPH is an energy-carrying molecule created during the first part of photosynthesis when chloroplasts convert light energy into chemical energy. NADPH provides the energy needed for plants make sugar from carbon dioxide in the second stage of photosynthesis.

B) In photosynthesis in presence of sunlight plant utilizes carbon dioxide and water to produce carbohydrates and oxygen.   And the Oxygen is released out by the plant during day time.  The released Oxygen is utilized by the living organism and undergo the process of respiration.

C) There is no one “most important” enzyme, but Rubisco is the catalyst that plants use to fix atmospheric carbon into biomolecules as part of photosynthesis. It is hyperabundant, representing a significant proportion of soluble protein in leaves, and is thought to be the most abundant protein on Earth.

You are studying two species of tree frog. The two species are found on two different islands, separated by 200 km of ocean wate
Delicious77 [7]

You are studying two species of tree frog. The two species are found on two different islands, separated by 200 km of ocean water. Species A lives on very light-colored rocks and species B lives on dark-colored trees. Which process is most unlikely to be affecting allele frequencies in the population?

a. Gene flow between populations

b. Genetic drift

c. Natural selection

d. Mutation rates

Answer:

a. Gene flow between populations

Explanation:

Gene flow between two populations occurs when one or a few members of one population migrate into the other and interbreed in the new population. This process adds some new alleles to the new population. In the given example, two populations of a tree frog are separated by 200 km of ocean water. Therefore, the frogs of one population would not be able to migrate into the other population and interbreed. So, gene flow can not affect the allele frequencies of these two populations.
