Answer:

The correct answer would be A. People with slow metabolisms have lower basal metabolic rates .

Basal metabolism rate or BMR refers to the number of calories a person burns per unit time to perform vital functions when he or she is at rest.

Slow metabolism means that your body needs less amount of calories in order to perform vital functions.

It results in increased body weight due to less expenditure of calories.

It can be increased with the help of a healthy lifestyle that is, healthy eating, physical activity et cetera.

What is water’s role in the light reaction of photosynthesis?
notsponge [240]

The correct answer is - Its electrons are used to form NADPH.

On receiving light energy, electrons are expelled from the reaction center of photosystem II. The expelled electrons finally reduces oxidized NADH⁺ to NADH. The oxidized reaction center of photosystem II split water into protons, electrons and oxygen. The electrons released from water reduces oxidized reaction center of photosystem II. Thus, oxidized reaction center of photosystem II gets back its expelled electrons. Therefore, electrons from water forms NADH.

How do the process of DNA replication and the laws of inheritance help cells and individuals pass on their
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer/Explanation:

DNA replication doubles each chromosome, meaning the cell can pass on DNA to daughter cells - the duplicated DNA is divided equally between the two new cells formed from the parent.

The laws of inheritance are:

1) The Law of Dominance: An organism with alternate forms of a gene, called alleles, will always display the form that is dominant, masking the recessive trait.

2) The Law of Segregation: In a diploid genome, like most eukaryotes, each trait is defined by a pair of genes (alleles). Each allele is randomly passed on to the gametes so that each gamete only contains one allele.   The offspring inherits one allele from each parent during the process of fertilization.

2) The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are sorted independently from one another That is, the inheritance of one trait does not depend on the inheritance of another trait. so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another.

Explain how a volcano forms in a subduction zone?
qwelly [4]
As the plate gets pushed down it gets closer to the center of the earth so it melts. It is less dense so it rises to the surface, tension builds up, and forms a volcano - I am almost positive this is accurate

Describe the pathway of a protein being made in a cell...from nucleus to vesicle
Karolina [17]

Answer:

ER → ER-to-Golgi transport vesicles → Golgi cisternae → secretory or transport vesicles →cell surface (exocytosis) (see Figure 17-13). Small transport vesicles bud off from the ER and fuse to form the cis-Golgi reticulum.

BRAINLIESTTTT ASAP!!!
Irina-Kira [14]
Cellular respiration in algae, as in all organisms, is the process by which food molecules are metabolized to obtain chemical energy for the cell. During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the Sun to make sugar molecules and oxygen. These sugar molecules are the basis for more complex molecules made by the photosynthetic cell, such as glucose.<span>
I hope this helps!!!
