Answer:
Scientific drilling
Explanation:
Like proves sent into outer space, scientific drilling is a technology used to obtain samples from places that people cannot reach.
I think the correct answer among the choices presented is option C. The statement that is true about macromolecules is that "Proteins are made of amino acids". Amino acids are the backbone of proteins. These amino acids are linked by peptide bonds.
Answer:
- Dependent variable: number of cells that are in one of the phases of mitosis
Explanation:
In an experiment, the independent variable is the variable that is not changed by the other variables that are being measured during the experiment (in this case, the independent variable is represented by the distances from the root cap). On the other hand, the dependent variable is the variable that is being measured/tested during the experimental procedure and, therefore, is 'dependent' on the independent variable. In consequence, in an experiment, the dependent variable is expected to change as a result of the manipulation of the independent variable.
Answer:
Option D
Explanation:
Complete question
Reagan is a young girl with a genetic developmental disorder. Her language development has been severely affected by this condition, and as such she has been diagnosed with a specific language impairment. Which condition is NOT likely to have contributed to this delay?
A) autism spectrum disorder
B) Down syndrome
C) fragile-X syndrome
D) PKU
Solution
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a kind of genetic disorder in which body starts producing and building up phenylalanine amino acid. PKU arises when the Phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme is not synthesized due to a genetic defect thereby affecting creation of neurotransmitters such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Some of the symptoms of this disorder are hyperactivity, seizures, eczema, tremors etc. PKU is not connected with language development issues and hence correct option is D
Answer: Oxygen
Explanation: Photosynthesis is a process by which plants use carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen.
Photosynthetic reactions are divided into two phases: 1). light dependent reactions and 2). light independent reactions.
1) In light dependent reactions, chlorophyll and other light absorbing pigments absorb light energy and conserve it as ATP and NADPH with the simultaneous liberation of oxygen. This reaction occurs only when plants are illuminated. In light reactions, light energy is used to split water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen, the hydrogen ions produced are transferred to NADP+ to form NADPH, ATP is also produced in light dependent reactions.
2) In light independent reactions, ATP and NADPH produced in the light dependent reactions are used to drive the light independent reactions in which ATP and NADPH are used to reduce CO2 to form trioses, starch, sucrose and other products derived from them.
