Perhaps the single greatest contribution Linnaeus made to science was his method of naming species. This method, called binomial

nomenclature, gives each species a unique, two-word Latin name consisting of the genus name and the species name. An example is Homo sapiens, the two-word Latin name for humans. It literally means “wise human.” This is a reference to our big brains.
Why is having two names so important? It is similar to people having a first and a last name. You may know several people with the first name Michael, but adding Michael’s last name usually pins down exactly whom you mean. In the same way, having two names uniquely identifies a species.

Answer:

Binomial nomenclature is the naming system developed by Carolus Linnaeus. In this system, latin language was used because it is a dead language which cannot be spoken by people in the world. In binomial nomenclature, two names are used. One for genus and the second for specie. For example, Rana tigrina is the scientific name of frog. In this name rana is genus and tigrina is specie.

A hypothesis refers to a suggested illustration for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, there is a need to test it. Upon analysis, a hypothesis can be modified or rejected, but it can never be proved 100 percent accurate.  

A hypothesis needs more work by the individual testing it in order to either disprove or confirm it. A working hypothesis refers to a hypothesis, which is tentatively accepted as a foundation for a further research.

Q: 5: Which of the following best describes anabolic reactions?

Answer:

Energy-storing reactions which link simple molecules together to make complex ones

Explanation:

Anabolism or anabolic reactions comprise the process during which simpler molecules are joined or linked to form  complex compounds. These reaction require the input of energy but ultimately that energy is stored in complex molecules for later use.

Organisms employ the reactions which absorb the energy in several reactions. and this absorbed energy is then stored for later use to perform various activities of the body.

For example: Photosynthesis is the common example during which energy from the sun is used to create sugar based molecules like sucrose and glucose. The formation of glucose is an anabolic process because it makes complex compound from simple compounds and stores energy in them which is later used to by plants to perform daily activities and work.

Q: 18: What are the folds of the inner membrane of mitochondria?

Answer:

Cristae

Explanation:

Cristea are the fodings present in  inner mitochondrial membrane . The reason why there are called cristae came from  Latin word crest that means wrinkled or irregular shape in a way that increases the surface area of the object.

If we look at cristea in mitochondria , its purpose is same, to provide a huge amount of surface area for the diverse types of reactions of cellular respiration that takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

These folds not only enhance surface area but also support aerobic cellular respiration in a number of ways.  there are large amount of proteins studded in cristaea like cytochromes and ATP synthases  that make sure an efficient execution of the process of cellular respiration.

Q 13: Which statement correctly describe one similarity between cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

Answer:

Cellular respiration and photosynthesis both have water and carbon dioxide in the reactions

Explanation:

If we talk about the processes of photosynthesis and Cellular respiration  both are almost exact opposite in nature. The products of cellular respiration are the reactants of photosynthesis and vice versa.

The sunlight in mandatory for the execution of photosynthesis however, cellular respiration depends on the supply of glucose and ultimate three phases (glycolysis, kreb cycle and electron transport chain) to transform the glucose in the usable energy reservoir ATP.

But still, when we look at the equations of cellular respiration and photosynthesis, we see something is common. And what is that common thing is,  Cellular respiration and photosynthesis both have water and carbon dioxide in the reactions . (please see attached figure).

In cellular respiration, water and carbon dioxide are the products along with energy, while in photosynthesis water and carbon dioxide are the reactants.

What happens when the stomata on a plant's leaves are open?
Firlakuza [10]
The stomata is a tiny pore found in plants that allows the exchange of gases. The stomata open and close to allow the intake of carbon dioxide and release of oxygen. Therefore, what happens when the stomata on a plant's are are open is that, oxygen and water escape the leaves and carbon dioxide enters it. The correct answer is option A.
