Explanation:

The process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy, which is stored in the bonds of glucose.

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

Further Explanation:

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

Photosynthesis, which occurs in several complex steps, is a rate-limited reaction, depends on several factors including concentration of carbon dioxide, ambient temperature, and light intensity; energy is recovered from photons, i.e. light particles, and water is used as a reducer. For those removed from photosystem II, water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons.

Therefore, water (H2O) split into H+ a 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+ ionsand produces molecules of the energy storage moleciule ATP through an electron transport chain. This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.

Later, in dark reactions, NADP and NADPH are used in the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules. These hold energy in their bonds, which can be released in respiration in the mitochondria.

Glucose production occurs after G3P production- a molecule of G3P, goes to the cytoplasm from the cycle, to form complex molecules and simple sugars like glucose.

You have identified two mutants with same phenotype.

algol13

Answer:

No, there are multiple ways in which different mutations in the same gene can cause the same phenotype

Explanation:

Several different mechanisms of mutation can lead to the same phenotype. For example, lets say our phenotype is that flies have white eyes, and we know that this occurs in one particular gene that normally makes the eye colour red. (the red gene)

These mutations likely rendered the red gene ineffective (as the eyes are not red). However, this could happen in a variety of ways.

There could be a single base deletion in the first exon of the mRNA, changing the reading frame of the protein and messing up the entire sequence (a frame shift mutations)
The entire gene could be deleted
A single base could be substituted in an important site of the gene, for example, one which translates into a catalytic residue or binding site in the protein
There could be an inversion at the promoter region of the gene, such that a transcription factor can no longer bind to transcribe the gene.

There are countless other ways in which a mutation could have been caused. Therefore, just because we know the same gene is affected does not mean that we can assume the mutations are identical.

G) The objects must be different temperatures

The way that heat transfer works is that the warmer object transfers energy to the colder one in order to reach equilibrium

Explain why the shape of animals is basically spherical whereas plants and fungi are filamentous

Reika [66]

Plants and fungi are usually filamentous to increase the surface area in which they uptake their food, and this is advantageous as they raise their surface area for sunlight in photosynthesis.
Conversely, animals are usually round to reduce surface area for loss of water and heat. Unlike plant and fungi, most of their food intake is through the mouth hence not affected by surface area.
