Answer:

Explanation:

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration (aerobic) are both metabolic processes that occur in specialized organnelles of living cells. These two processes are so unique to one another in the sense that one uses the product of the other as a reactant and vice versa.

Photosynthesis is an anabolic reaction that occurs in the Chloroplast of autotrophs in which captured energy from sun is used to synthesize organic food (glucose) by combining carbondioxide (CO2) and water. Oxygen is released in this photosynthetic process.

6CO2 + 6H20 --------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Aerobic cellular respiration, on the other hand, is a catabolic process undergone by every aerobic living cell (in the mitochondria) in which glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP (energy) releasing CO2 and water (H2O) in the process.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 ------> 6C02 + 6H2O

One spectacular difference is that photosynthesis uses solar energy (from sun) while aerobic cellular respiration uses chemical energy to power the process.

Answer:

1.) The two gametes found in humans are the sperm and the ova.

2.) Variation, in biology, any difference between cells, individual organisms, or groups of organisms of any species caused either by genetic differences (genotypic variation) or by the effect of environmental factors on the expression of the genetic potentials (phenotypic variation).

3.) Because the alleles that the mother and the father carry are mixed together in the offspring.

4.) Because it only introduces genetic variation into the population if a random mutation in the organism's DNA is passed on to the offspring.

You are on vacation and see an organism that you do not recognize. discuss what possible steps you can take to classify it.

bija089 [108]

Taxonomy is the branch of Science, in which we study the Classification of Organisms. On discovering an unknown organism, begin classification by looking for anatomical features that appear to have the same function as those found on other species.

In order to correctly classify an organism, scientists use many modern tools.

1.Morphology describes the physical characteristics of an organism. Typically, this is enough information to place the organism within a domain and kingdom.

2.DNA and biochemical analysis allow scientists to test less visible, but distinguishing, characteristics.

3.Comparing embryology allows scientists to group organisms that share common fetal development.

4.Evolutionary phylogeny describes the evolutionary relationships between organisms.These relationships are deduced based on shared traits that may have been passed from ancestor to new species. Traits may include physical traits (ex. presence of jaws), or may be genetic traits (shared genes).

Blood is a type of connective tissue. what primary germ layer is responsible for producing both blood and phagocytic brain glial

Serjik [45]

Mesoderm

Mesoderm is the primary germ layer that is responsible for producing both blood and phagocytic brain glial cells.

The mesoderm is the middle of the three germ layers that appears in the third week of embryonic development. The mesoderm is responsible for the formation of various body structures such as epithelia of blood vessels, blood, muscle, bone, phagocytic brain glial cells, lymphatic vessels, adrenal cortex, notochord, and bone marrow.
