RuBP combines with the CO2 to produce an unstable 6C compound, which immediatly breaks into 2 PGA. Then, in the carbon cycle, some of the PGA leaks out and through reverse glycolosis, form glucose. BUt during carbon fixation, i would say it is the PGA

Answer: The correct answer is 3- PGA.

Carbon fixation occurs in the second phase of photosynthesis, which is also called light independent phase or dark reaction or calvin cycle.

This cycle is primarily divided into three steps that is carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration.

In carbon fixaton, inorganic carbon that is carbon dioxide is converted into organic compound that is a three carbon sugar 3- PGA ( phosphoglyceric acid). This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme called RuBisCO ( RuBP carboxylase/ oxygenase) that combines RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate) with CO₂ and forms a six carbon unstable compound, which is splitted into 2 molecules of 3-PGA.

3-PGA is further processed through various steps and the food in the form of carbohydrate ( glucose) is prepared.

Hello,

Please find below a short summary on the subject you have been assigned. This will help you in completing your project and also give you an overview on the current research on this subject.

Food additives are chemical substances added to food in order to either maintain or improve its physical characteristics such as taste, texture, appearance and even freshness.

The long term effects that these substances have on the human body are still largely unstudied. According to the hypothesis called "chemical obesogen", these synthetic compounds are contributing factors to the global obesity epidemic.

Although evidence-based scientific research is still lacking, the support for this hypothesis is growing as many of these additives have been found to disturb the body's endocrine functions.

Furthermore, artificial preservatives used today may increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease. This has been shown by a study on mice in which the food additives known as emulsifiers (carboxymethylcellulose and polysorbate-80) have been shown to affect the animal's health.

Due to these chemicals, the mice not only became obese but also developed metabolic problems such as glucose intolerance.  It seems that these chemicals affect the gut bacteria population in a negative way, as mice lacking gut bacteria did not become ill.

The mice study was followed by another study in which the human simulated through a series of flasks. Under the influence of the emulsifiers arboxymethylcellulose (E566 on EU labels) and polysorbate-80 (E433), the levels of bacterial protein called flagellin increased. This protein is known to cause inflammation at high concentrations. The next step in the study will be the first human trials.

Due to the long road our food takes from the farm to our table more extensive research is required. There are thousands of compounds that change the biochemical properties of the plants and animals that constitute our diet. The effects of the degradation and accumulation of these compounds are still unknown and thus many more studies and approaches are required in order to insure healthy food and stop the current obesity epidemic. Everything that is added to our food should be carefully analyzed.

Better mirrors the mitosis process.<br><br> Meiosis II<br> Meiosis I
harina [27]

Answer:

Meiosis 1 better mirrors the process of mitosis.

Explanation:

During the process of mitosis, the somatic cells of the body replicate to form two daughter cells which are identical to the parent cell. In meiosis I, two daughter cells are formed. During mitosis, diploid cells are formed. During meiosis 1 also, two diploid cells are formed. hence, these two processes are more similar as compared to mitosis II. in mitosis II, four haploid cells are made as a result of the division process.
