Your carbon atom enters the leaf as CO2 (carbon dioxide) from the atmosphere. <span>In the leaf, chlorophyll uses the energy from the sun to convert CO2 and H2O to the sugar glucose, C6H12O6. Your carbon atom is part of this molecule; it is now one of the carbons in the glucose. </span>
<span>Next, the glucose carrying your carbon atom is sent down the phloem tissue of the carrot plant to the root, which is the carrot itself. </span><span>Enzymes in the carrot root connect the glucose molecule with your carbon atom into a chain with other glucose molecules, forming cellulose, or plant starch, and there you go. Your carbon atom went from being part of an atmospheric gas to a starch via photosynthesis and starch formation in the root. </span>
<span>I hope that helps!</span>
Answer:
Tetraploid wheat evolved by allopolyploidization and subsequent diploid-like behavior due to cytological diploidization
Explanation:
Durum wheat (<em>Triticum durum</em>) or pasta wheat, is a tetraploid wheat species that has 28 chromosomes, i.e., seven pairs in each genome (2n = 4x = 28). Durum wheat was domesticated from wild emmer wheat, which originated by hybridization of two diploid wheat species with 14 chromosomes: <em>Triticum monococcum</em> (genome AA) and one wild progenitor (genome BB). <em>Triticum durum </em>is a typical example of evolution by hybridization and polyploidization, where the resultant tetraploid species has two complete sets of chromosomes. Allopolyploidization is one of the most common types of plant speciation. During meiosis, 28 chromosomes form 14 homologous chromosome pairs, because homologous chromosomes have developed 'restriction of pairing' (i.e., cytological diploidization). The restriction of pairing to fully homologous chromosomes ensures a correct meiotic behavior, which otherwise would be altered due to the high level of homology that still exists among chromosomes from different wheat progenitors.
Answer:
The plant types suitable during that period would be ferns, horsetails, and lycopods.
Explanation:
A geologic period and system, which covers 60 million years from the termination of the Devonian period to the start of the Permian period is known as the Carboniferous period. During the Carboniferous period, the plant life was luxuriant and extensive, mainly at the time of Pennsylvanian. It comprises ferns and fernlike trees, that is, the giant horsetails known as club mosses, calamites, or lycopods like Sigillaria and Lepidodendron.
Thus, if humans had been present to construct log structures during the Carboniferous period, then they would have used logs of ferns, horsetails, and lycopods for construction work.
