Answer: a.  only autotrophs can convert solar energy into chemical energy

Energy must flow through autotrophs because they take the energy from the sun, then herbivores feed off the autotrophs converting energy from the plant into energy that they can use. Carnivores then feed off the herbivores, and finally carnivores feed off of each other, and the process starts over again. Heterotrophs only generate a small fraction of their energy through photosynthesis, making autotrophs very important.

Summarize how biochemical characters can be used to determine phylogeny
svp [43]

Phylogeny uses communal ancestry to group organisms and further nest them into bigger and bigger groups. This is also a study of evolutionary relationships among organisms. Visible characteristics such as anatomical and behavioral traits, as well as biochemical (enzymes, proteins, pigments, etc.) and genetic traits (nucleotide sequences) that need more modern techniques to detect.

Following are the organelles present in the cell.

nucleus

mitochondria

ribosomes

lysosomes

endoplasmic reticulum

vacuole

Golgi bodies

Explanation:

Nucleus is the central part of the cell which control all activities in the cell. Mitochondria is also called power house of the cell which is responsible for the production of energy for the cell. Ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum  are responsible for the production of proteins. Lysosomes collects and removes the waste material from the cell.

When a single cell of E. coli reproduces, it first duplicates its DNA. Next, the cell elongates as each copy of DNA is pulled to
Advocard [28]

The options are:

A. They are genetically different from the parent because they are produced by sexual reproduction.

B. They are genetically identical to the parent because they are produced by sexual reproduction.

C.  They are genetically identical to the parent because they are produced by asexual reproduction.

D. They are genetically different from the parent because they are produced by asexual reproduction.

Answer:

The correct answer is- C.  They are genetically identical to the parent because they are produced by asexual reproduction.

Explanation:

<em>E. coli </em>reproduces through binary fission in which the genetic material of cell of <em>E. coli</em> first duplicates and then the cell elongates and each of the copies of their genetic material is moved to opposite poles.  

After this, the cell gets divided into two equal daughter cells. As binary fission is an asexual reproduction so there is no mixing or combination of genetic material from other <em>E.coli</em> therefore the resultant daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.

Therefore the correct answer is option c.
