The answer is; prokaryotes are the earliest life forms

Glycolysis was the earliest energy harvesting pathway in early living organisms. Glycolysis does not require oxygen attribute to the early condition of the earth where its atmosphere was majorly comprised of carbon dioxide. It is only after the great oxygenation event that life evolved the oxidative phosphorylation process.

What is the largest single part of the sharks nervous system?

Marina CMI [18]

The largest single part of the shark's nervous system is the brain. Sharks are one of the smartest organisms that thrive in the deep sea. They have specially evolved brains that are capable of hunting and communicating with other sharks. Their keen sense of understanding helps them understand information presented to them and then later on converting this into information that they can use in the future.

vivado [14]

I have attached lac operon model having 4 genes. See attachment for better understanding.

Answer:

The Lac operon is controlled by two signals.

Initiation

Glucose and lactose concentrations control the initiation of transcription of the Lac operon through their effects on the Lac repressor protein and Cap.

Lactose absent (Repression)

When lactose is absent, the Lac repressor binds the Lac operator and shuts off expression of the operon.

Lactose present (Transcription)

Addition of lactose increases the intracellular concentration of a related compound, allolactose. allolactose binds to the Lac repressor, causing it to undergo a conformational change that releases its grip on the operator DNa.

Glucose absent (Repression)

When glucose is absent, cyclic aMp (red triangle) is produced by the cell and Cap binds to DNA.

Glucose present (Transcription)

LacZ, the first gene of the operon, encodes the enzyme b-galactosidase, which breaks down lactose to galactose and glucose.

Describe what you think is happening during photosynthesis.

sineoko [7]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>I think during photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose. The plant then releases the oxygen back into the air, and stores energy within the glucose molecules.</em>
