The pea aphid, a type of insect, contains light-capturing pigments in its exoskeleton. Pea aphids gained the ability to synthesi

ze these pigments from genes transferred from fungi. While pea aphids do not have chloroplasts or fix carbon, researchers have found that pea aphids with more pigments have higher levels of ATP than those with fewer pigments. Pea aphids also have been shown to increase production of ATP when exposed to sunlight. Based on this information, is the pea aphid a true autotroph?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Based on the information given we can not say pea aphid as an autotroph. Because pea aphid ability to produce ATP in the presence of sun is due to the light-capturing pigment that it gains from the genes transferred from fungi.

As pea aphid do not have any chloroplast and it cannot fix carbon so it is not a true autotroph. We can say it false autotroph because it can produce ATP in the presence of sunlight and can show increased production of ATP at the higher level of pigment.

Answer:

The correct answer would be "no, we can not consider pea aphid as a true autotroph".

The true autotrophs are those which can manufacture their food (organic compounds) from simple elements like water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight.

As pea aphid is unable to fix carbon that means it is still dependent on other organisms for its nutrition.

Thus, it can not be considered as autotrophs.

Fatty acids are activated to acyl-CoAs and the acyl group is further transferred to carnitine because:
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is a acyl-carnitine readily cross the mitochondrial inner membrane but the acyl CoA do not.

Explanation:

Fatty acids are activated to form fatty acyl CoA by the help of ATP and CoA SH.But the so formed Acyl CoA cannot cross or pass the inner mitochondrial membrane to enter the mitochondrial matrix to initiate beta oxidation of fatty acid.

   To overcome this problem fatty acyl CoA is converted to acyl carnitine and the so formed acyl carnitine readily crosses the inner mitochondrial membrane and enters the mitochondrial matrix.

Do plants have to do cellular resperation? why or why not?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Explanation:

Like all other organisms, plants require energy to grow and thrive in their environment. The process of cellular respiration allows plants to break down glucose into ATP.

Although plants use photosynthesis to produce glucose, they use cellular respiration to release energy from the glucose.

What is the answer for this problem34.9 cl = _____ hl?
Mrac [35]
The conversion you'll need is:
1 cL = 0.0001 hL
 
Since we have 34.9 cL, multiply 34.9 on both sides of the equation above. 
You should end up with 34.9 cL = 0.00349 hL

Hope this helped ^-^
