Answer:

C) The Calvin cycle requires ATP and NADPH, which require sunlight to be produced

Explanation:

The light-dependent phase of photosynthesis includes the photolysis of water molecules. The released electrons are passed to PSII to PSI via electron carriers and finally to NADP+ to reduce it into NADPH.

Transfer of electrons via electron carriers also generates the proton concentration gradient which in turn drives ATP synthesis. ATP and NADPH formed during light reactions are used in the Calvin cycle as an energy source and electron donor respectively.

Hence, to continue, the Calvin cycle requires the synthesis of ATP and NADPH in the presence of light.

Worms move using an hydrostatic skeleton. How do worms move?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Worms move through changes in body structure caused by contraction of muscles compressing their watery fluid.

Explanation:

The hydroskeleton consists of a fluid-filled cavity, surrounded by muscles. The fluid pressure and the action of the muscles that border it, serve to change the body's shape and produce a movement such as digging or swimming. The successive contraction of various metamers, which are provided with bundles of circular and longitudinal muscle fibers, stretching and thickening parts of the body, allow it to move horizontally. Hydrostatic skeletons have a role in the locomotion of annelids, nematodes and other invertebrates. The hydroskeleton has similarities with the hydrostatic muscles.
