Answer:

Crassulacean acid metabolism or CAM plants

Explanation:

The plants in hot and humid climate perform a wasteful process called photorespiration as the Rubisco enzyme binds the oxygen.  The plants avoid this wasteful process by separating the steps of photosynthesis in a spatial and temporal way.

The cactus is known to avoid by separating the steps in a temporal way that is they close their stomata close during daytime abut open them at night time and inhale the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is then converted into oxaloacetate.

This oxaloacetate is stored during night time and then used during the daytime by providing the carbon dioxide which undergoes the Calvin cycle and produces glucose molecules.

Thus, CAM plant is correct.

Why is the resting membrane potential (Vm) approximately - 70 mV for most cells? Most cells contain a large concentration of Cl-
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Option (4).

Explanation:

Cell membrane potential may be defined as the difference in the electric potential between inside and outside of the cell. This potential is important for the action potential.

The resting membrane potential of the cell is -70mV. This membrane potential is maintained by the potassium ions of the cell. The cell membrane are almost 40 times more permeable to potassium ions than sodium ions and makes the cell membrane potential negative.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).

A heterozygous, three-horned alien from Mercury has met and fallen in love with a four-horned alien from Jupiter. What would hap
Gnesinka [82]
Because the three-horned alien is heterozygous, we know that three must be dominant to four, because the gene for the three horns is "hiding" the gene for four horns. Therefore, the three-horned alien has the genotype Tt (T for three horns, and t for four horns). The four horned alien must be tt, because that is the only way that a recessive trait may be seen.  If you solve the punnet square on a cross between Tt and tt, you end up with half three (heterozygous) and half four (homozygous recessive) it is a bit easier to explain with something a little "closer to home" if you want me to explain it again, just say so, I don't mind!

How the plasma membrane is important to survival, and necessary for life.
gregori [183]

Answer:

The plasma membranebeing the  most necessary component of a cell because it encases and protects the complex chemistry of life within  the cell. A selectively permeable membrane allows only certain substances to enter the cell. This is very important to keep necessary nutrients in and keeping unwanted substances out too
