Explanation:

D) oxygen as a product of the process of photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released.

Further Explanation:

This occurs in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. This begins in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.

The chloroplast is a membrane bound organelle found in plants. It contains several invaginations of a plasma membrane called the thylakoid membrane. This contains chlorophyll pigments, in stacks called granum, while the internal spaces of the organelle are called the lumen. Liquid surrounds the granum, forming the stroma.

Particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent.

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

or Carbon dioxide + water = energy (glucose) + oxygen

Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II. Additionally, water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent; it reduces the molecule NADP to NADPH by providing H+ ions. NADP and NADPH are integral to the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules.

Respiration and photorespiration both utilize oxygen for;

the production of ATP via the oxidization of pyruvate;
and the oxygenation of the molecule Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), an organic molecule also used in photosynthesis, to form 3-PGA + phosphoglycolic acid,

During binary fission in a bacterial cell, a base pair is changed from adenine to cytosine. what has just occurred?

insens350 [35]

During binary fission in a bacterial cell, a base pair is changed from adenine to cytosine due to a random mutation.

Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction through which a bacteria divides and its body is separated into two new bodies.

If during binary fission in a bacterial cell, a base pair is changed from adenine to cytosine, it is because of a random mutation. A mutation is a genetic alteration or a change in the DNA sequence which results in the generation of a variant. Mutations in the DNA sequence which occur without any specific pattern is known as a random mutation.

What is an example of a chromosomal nondisjunction that occurs during the first division?

aliya0001 [1]

Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate properly during cell division. There are three forms of nondisjunction: failure of a pair of homologous chromosomes to separate in meiosis I, failure of sister chromatids to separate during meiosis II, and failure of sister chromatids to separate during mitosis.[1][2][3] Nondisjunction results in daughter cells with abnormal chromosome numbers (aneuploidy).

Calvin Bridges and Thomas Hunt Morgan are credited with discovering nondisjunction in Drosophila melanogaster sex chromosomes in the spring of 1910, while working in the Zoological Laboratory of Columbia University.[4]

The resistance to the pesticide in insects occurred because

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. favorable change in DNA of the insect.

Explanation:

At the point when a pesticide is first utilized, a little extent of the pest population may survive to introduction to the material because of their particular hereditary or genetic makeup. These surviving individuals pass along the gene resistance to particular insecticide or pesticide to next generation.

Upon introduction to pesticides, insects that don't have the resistance die eventually, in this manner permitting the insects with the resistance genes to endure and reproduce,creates more resistance insects.

Thus, the correct answer is option B. favorable change in DNA of the insect.

How does climate differ from weather

Naya [18.7K]

So, "weather is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, and its short-term variation in minutes to weeks. People generally think of weather as the combination of temperature, humidity, precipitation, cloudiness, visibility, and wind. But climate is the weather of a place averaged over a period of time, often 30 years." Hope I helped!
