Sternal angle marks the joint between the sternum and the 2nd rib.

Option E.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Sternum is the breast bone which is a dorsi ventrally flattened bone present in thorax of human. It gives the support for the ribs where the ribs join. A sternum has three parts - Manubrium sterni, body of sternum and the xyphoid process.

The sternum has attachments of a total of 10 ribs and clavicle. The clavicle and the first rib joins in the Manubrium sterni, and the 3rd to 10th rib joins in the body of sternum. The 2nd rib joins in a facet which is partly in Manubrium sterni and partly in body of sternum. This place id also called the sternal angle. So the sternal angle marks the joint of 2nd rib to sternum.

Explain WHY photosynthesis and respiration are NOT able to create a cycle of energy?
jeka94

In a plant cell, photosynthesis and cellular respiration can both take place simultaneously. Plants carry out both photosynthesis and cellular respiration during the day. Cellular respiration continues because it provides the energy required for essential cell functions.

<h3></h3><h3>What role of  photosynthesis and respiration in plant?</h3>

Water and carbon dioxide are changed into oxygen and glucose during photosynthesis. The plant consumes glucose and produces oxygen as a byproduct.

Oxygen and glucose are transformed into water and carbon dioxide during cellular respiration. By-products of the process include carbon dioxide, water, and ATP, which is turned into energy.

To power cellular respiration, photosynthesis uses the energy it produces. During photosynthesis, solar energy is used, collected, and stored in the bonds of glucose molecules.

Therefore, photosynthesis and respiration not involve energy formation cycle.

Maggots feed on dead and decaying organisms for energy. What are maggots?
Vikentia [17]
Maggots consume dead or decaying organisms so they are classified as a decomposer.

Decomposition is a process by which organic substances, like leaves or dead animals, are broken down into simpler matter.
A lot of different types of organisms, called the decomposers, will consume the organic substances and continue an essential part of the nutrient cycle. These organisms can be both bacteria, fungi but can also be insects.

This is important for recycling the organic matter that occupies space in the biosphere and that way, continues the movement of energy and matter in ecosystems.
