Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

a. meningocele

b. spina bifida occulta

c. Meningomyelocele

d. Arnold-chiari syndrome

The correct answer is c.

Explanation:

Spina bifida is a neural tube defect that usually runs in families. Spina bifida occurs due to an abnormality in the development of the spinal cord in the first trimester of pregnancy. The defect can only be associated with a protrusion of the membrane that covers the spinal cord (meninges), called a meningocele, or with some neural elements, called a meningomyelocele. Spina bifida can cause mild to severe physical and mental disabilities, depending on the size and location of the opening in the spine, and whether the spinal cord and nerves are affected. Myelomeningocele is a defect in which a fluid sac containing part of the spinal cord and nerves exits through an opening in the baby's spine, causing nerve damage. Also called "open spina bifida," this disease causes moderate to severe disabilities, such as trouble going to the bathroom, loss of sensation in the legs or feet and paralysis in the legs.

Analyze and evaluate the formation of organic carbon molecules in c4 plants.
Setler [38]

In C4 plants, photosynthesis is compartmentalized into two; light-dependent stage and  light independent stage. The light-dependent stage occurs in the mesophyll cells of the leaf. Here, CO2 is fixed into oxaloacetate by PEP carboxylase enzyme. The oxaloacetate is then converted to malate that is then transported to bundle-sheath cells (around the leaf veins). The CO2 is then released from the malate and the gas molecule is subsequently fixed by RuBiSCO like in C3 plants. The biggest advantage of C4 photosytheis is that the wasteful process of photorespiration is greatly reduced.
