Answer:

Photosynthetic process

Explanation:

Cellulose, a tough, fibrous and water-insoluble polysaccharide in the cell walls of plants. It is the most abundant organic macromolecule on Earth and also the main component of a plants structure, conferring rigidity on the plants' cells.

Cellulose chains are arranged in microfibrils or bundles of polysaccharides arranged in fibrils which in turn make up the plant cell wall.

All plants are made up of polysaccharides, a very large sugar molecule made of hundreds or thousands of single sugar units (monosaccharide). Cellulose is composed of a long chain of at least 500 glucose molecules joined together by B-1,4- linkages.

Green plants create this simple sugar molecules (glucose) on their own through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the chemical combination or fixation of C02 and water by the utilization of energy from the absorption of visible light. This glucose produced is a building carbohydrate that combines with other sugars to form the plant structure (as they make up part of cellulose) and store energy.

Is where glucose is produced, and glucose is known as a monosaccharide (simple sugar) and makes up a carbohydrate.

Which of the following types of passive transport involves the movement of molecules via special transport proteins? A. facilita

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are different mechanisms for transport of molecules across the cell membrane. One kind of this transport is facilitated diffusion, this is a form of passive transport, not requiring any ATP (the opposite would be active transport, where it does require ATP.

Simple diffusion does require special transport proteins, and neither does osmosis. Filtration is a technique used for sterilisation of water, where any impurities can be drawn out of the liquid

Trace the ductal pathway from the epididymis to the urethra. (Module 26.5C)

iragen [17]

Answer:

epididymis

ductus deferens

ampulla of ductus deferens

seminal gland

ejaculatory duct

urethra

Explanation:

Epididymis is a tube that connects the back side of the testicles to the vas deferens (ductus deferens). The vas deferens is the connecting link between epididymis and urinary tract/urethra and is responsible for transporting sperm to the urethra. Seminal vesicles are small glands that lie above the prostate gland and make up more than 50% of the total semen. Seminal vesicles are connected to the vas deferens through ejaculatory duct. This duct empties sperm and semen into the urethra

Hence, the correct order is

epididymis

ductus deferens

ampulla of ductus deferens

seminal gland

ejaculatory duct

urethra

A biologist pollinates a true-breeding yellow flower with pollen from a true-breeding red flower of the same species. All of the

Xelga [282]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The question that can be answered with the F2 cross would be if the yellow flower color is dominant over the red flower color in the species. In other words, whether the inheritance of flower color follows a simple Mendelian inheritance or otherwise can be answered.

Assuming that the inheritance of the flower color follows the Mendelian pattern, the red flower trait would re-emerge among the F2 offspring and the ratio of yellow to red flower offspring would approximately be equal to 3:1. Otherwise, a more complex pattern of inheritance would be involved.
