Answer - D They comprise Calvin cycle (Rest of the options are wrong)
Light independent reactions in photosynthesis occur outside the thylakoids. They use ATP and NADPH from the light dependent reactions for the process of Calvin cycle to occur.

Answer:

The correct answer would be They comprise the Calvin cycle.

Calvin cycle refers to the set of chemical reactions taking place in the stroma of the chloroplast in which carbon is fixed into food (glucose). The whole process is divided into three stages namely: fixation, reduction, and regeneration (ribulose bisphosphate or RuBP).

It takes place in light-independent reaction of the the photosynthesis.

It does not require light energy to carry out the reactions however, it depends upon the products of light reaction (ATP and NADPH).

Fixation of one molecule of glucose requires 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 9 ATP and 6 NADPH.

The fixation of carbon is catalyzed by an enzyme RuBisCO.

The purpose of the digestive system is to break down food into simple molecules that the _______ of the body can use.
erma4kov [3.2K]


The purpose of the digestive system is to break down food into simple molecules that the cells of the body can use. 

Food is broken down  into its simplest units called monomers. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol while carbohydrates are broken down into glucose units.

Glucose is taken in by the cells of the body and through the process of cellular respiration  is used to produce the ATP, the form of energy that cells use. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells use glucose to produce energy to power their functions.

Explain why the nucleus is called the control center? What evidence support your reason
Tresset [83]
<h2>Nucleus - control center</h2>

The nucleus is called the control center of the cell because:

  • The genetic material which is the essence of life is hosted in the nucleus – the DNA-which presents the code of life or information or instructions regarding:
  1. The structure and function of each cell and the organ it is present,
  2. Numerous activities of life like reproduction, metabolism, growth, development, etc.
  • The nucleus replicates the genetic information and passes to the new daughter cells, generation after generation to continue the life processes.  
  • The nucleus DNA transcribes the code or information for protein synthesis to the RNA to synthesize proteins in the body which carry out many essential functions in the form of structural proteins, antibodies, hormones, pigments, etc.  
  • The nucleus DNA synthesizes enzymes which carry out functions like metabolism.
