Sexual and axe dual reproduction can both be beneficial. Sexual reproduction allows for variation amount offspring, whereas asexual reproduction allows for offspring to be identical to the birth mother.

In the offspring, genetic variation produces

grin007 [14]

Explanation:

In biology, the term spore designates a single-celled or multicellular microscopic body that is formed for dispersion and survival purposes for a long time (dormancy) under adverse conditions, and which is generally a haploid cell. In many eukaryotic beings, it is a fundamental part of their reproduction, originating a new organism by dividing by mitosis (especially in fungi) or meiosis (plants), without having to merge with another cell, while in some bacteria it is instead a inactive stage, resistant to desiccation and for non-reproductive survival purposes. The term derives om the Greek σπορά (sporá), "seed".

The spore is an important element in the biological life cycles of plants, fungi, algae and some protozoa, which usually produce spores in structures called sporangia. In plants, spores are gametophytes within their life cycle and allow the dispersion of the propagules at the same time. Most fungi produce spores; those that do not are called asporogenic fungi.

Que es la familia de hidrógeno

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Metales alcalinos

El grupo 1A (o IA) de la tabla periódica son los metales alcalinos: hidrógeno (H), litio (Li), sodio (Na), potasio (K), rubidio (Rb), cesio (Cs) y francio (Fr). . Estos son (excepto el hidrógeno) metales suaves, brillantes, de bajo punto de fusión y altamente reactivos, que se empañan cuando se exponen al aire.

7) Calculate ∆G^0' for the following reaction: glucose + 6O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O. Is this reaction exergonic or endergonic?

san4es73 [151]

The reaction is endergonic.

<h2>Procedure - Determination of the Gibbs reaction type</h2>

<h3>Thermochemical model</h3>

First, we need to determine the Gibbs free energy function ( $\Delta G_{o}$ ), in kilojoules, of the entire reaction by this formula:

$\Delta G_{o} = \Sigma\limits_{j=1}^{m} n_{j}\cdot g_{o, j} - \Sigma\limits_{i=1}^{p}n_{i}\cdot g_{o,i}$ (1)

Where:

$n_{i}$ - Number of kilomoles of the i-th reactive, in kilomoles.
$n_{j}$ - Number of kilomoles of the j-th product, in kilomoles.
$g_{o,i}$ - Specific Gibbs free energy function of the i-th reactive, in kilojoules per kilomole.
$g_{o,j}$ - Specific Gibbs free energy function of the j-th reactive, in kilojoules per kilomole.

<h3>Data from thermochemical tables</h3>

From thermochemical tables we have the following information:

Reactives

$g_{glu} = -2871596\,\frac{kJ}{kmol}$ , $g_{O_{2}} = 0\,\frac{kJ}{kmol}$

$n_{glu} = 1\,kmol$ , $n_{O_{2}} = 6\,kmol$

Products

$g_{CO_{2}} = -137150\,\frac{kJ}{kmol}$ , $g_{H_{2}O} = -237180\,\frac{kJ}{kmol}$

$n_{CO_{2}} = 6\,kmol$ , $n_{H_{2}O} = 6\,kmol$

<h3>Determination of the Gibbs free energy function</h3>

Now we proceed to determine the Gibbs free energy function and later determine the nature of the <em>thermochemical</em> reaction:

$\Delta G_{o} = (6\,kmol)\cdot \left(-137150\,\frac{kJ}{kmol} \right) + (6\,kmol)\cdot \left(-237180\,\frac{kJ}{kmol} \right)-(1\,kmol)\cdot \left(-2871596\,\frac{kJ}{kmol} \right) - (6\,kmol)\cdot \left(0\,\frac{kJ}{kmol} \right)$

$\Delta G_{o} = 625616\,kJ$

The Gibbs free energy function of the <em>entire</em> reaction is 625616 kilojoules.

<h3>Analysis of the result</h3>

The Gibbs free energy function has a <em>positive</em> sign, which means that this reaction is endergonic.
