Why doesn't an animal cell need to photosynthesize in order for cellular respiration to occur

Biology

JulsSmile [24]3 years ago

Hi!


In order for cellular respiration to occur in a cell, the cell needs to have glucose molecules to utilize in the reaction which is as follows:

<u>C6H12O6</u> + 6 O2  -->  6 CO2  + 6 H2O + ATP (energy)

Cellular respiration cannot occur in the absence of glucose. Plant cells acquire this glucose from photosynthesis:

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy = <u>C6H12O6</u> + 6O2

Animal cells do not need to photsynthesize because they acquire the amount of  glucose for cellular reaction from their diet/consumption. Herbivores acquire this glucose from plants, carnivores from feeding off other animals, and omnivores from both feeding off plants and animals.


Hope this helps!

What is the probability that the first offspring from the cross listed below will be heterozygous for all loci?
Tanya [424]

Answer and Explanation:

<u>Cross:</u> aa Bb dd Ee x AA bb Dd Ee

We can calculate the probability of getting heterozygous individuals in the progeny by using the <u>product rule</u>. Assuming that these four genes <u>assort independently</u> (<em>events that occur independently from each other</em>), we can infer that the F1 will have the next genotypic proportions for each gene:

1) aa     x     AA

F1) 4/4=1 Aa

2) Bb    x    bb

F1) ½ bb

     ½ Bb

3) dd    x    Dd

F1) ½ dd

     ½ Dd

4) Ee    x    Ee

F1) ¼ EE

    2/4 = ½ Ee

     ¼ ee

So, to know what the probability is that the F1 of being heterozygous for all loci, we must multiply the respective individual probabilities of getting a heterozygous genotype, like this:  

1 Aa   x   ½ Bb   x    ½ Dd    x    ½ Ee = 1/8 AaBbDdEe

Genetically modified organisms are those organisms in which certain gene is inserted to get the desired beneficial results.

Explanation:

A genetically modified organism is an organism or plant altered for beneficial traits which would not have been possible by the traditional mating process or recombination techniques.

Genetic engineering is the technique involved for the construction of gene of interest and inserting them in the host species for getting expressed.

Many fruitful results have come out like a tomato of long shelf life k/a flavr savr.

Apart from molecular techniques used for cloning, CRISPR is the recent innovation which had made it very simple.

The GMOs can solve the food problem of the world as Single-cell proteins and longer shelved life food.

Disease resistant plants can be formed for better yields.

Nutrition level of food can be increased.

Example of GMO are canola, corn, papaya, soy and many animals are also on the list.
