When a plant takes in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and receives adequate sunlight and water, chloroplasts in the plant's cells convert the reactants, water and carbon dioxide, into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is stored in the tissue of the plant for food and energy. In essence, this is the process of photosynthesis. Glucose is often stored in plants in the form of starch, which is composed of glucose molecules linked in long chains.

Hope this helps :)

Bad White [126]

Answer:

"G-Factor" is associated with a theory of intelligence proposing a singular underlying aptitude or intellectual competence of intelligence.

Explanation:

An English psychologist Charles Edward Spearman was highlighted for his work in statistics as a pioneer of factor analysis. He speculated that humans had "G-Factor" i.e general intelligence (established in 1904 by Charles Spearman) from very early in the measurement of intelligence in history.

G-factor is a singular underlying aptitude or intellectual ability in many fields which include verbal, reasoning and spatial abilities. The general intelligence tests the level of expertise in applying logic to solve work-related problems by measuring the basic cognitive abilities regarding specific skills like memorization, arithmetic and common global knowledge.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

An electrochemical Gradient

Explanation:

During the translation of mRNA to protein, the nascent polypeptide chain that is formed is not yet a functional protein right after translation. The polypeptide must then undergo another series of processing and packaging and may even need another protein(s) to completely form a functional moiety. Generally, for this a mix of chaperones may be needed to complete the protein synthesis pathway.
