What is the purpose of each organism being able to carry out either cellular respiration or photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis takes in sunlight and carbon dioxide, along with water and nutrients, so the plant can make energy. That energy is used for cell growth and repair, producing seeds, etc. The plant will exhale oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis.

Similarly, cellular respiration is also used to create energy for the host organism. However, the cells take in oxygen along with something like complex sugars (ie the stuff you eat) and use those components to form energy for the cell. The energy for human cells is useful for cell growth and repair, nerve impulses, muscle contractions, etc. Basically anything you can think of that the human body needs to do on a regular basis, it requires energy to do so. A byproduct of cellular respiration is carbon dioxide, which is exhaled out to the environment. The plant will then absorb the CO2 to keep the cycle going.

In short, both processes are used to make energy for the cell. The differences is what the inputs for each process require. Photosynthesis takes in sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide (and other plant nutrients), and exhales oxygen. Cellular respiration takes in oxygen and complex sugars (from plant material or other animals) and exhales carbon dioxide.

Which structure, If cut off, will hamper sexual reproduction in fungi?
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Fruiting body,  If cut off, will hamper sexual reproduction in fungi.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Fungi are of unicellular, multinucleate, and multicellular. They can be classified based on their reproductive spores and their multinucleate or multicellular filaments nature that can be called as hyphae. The sporocarp  that is also named as fruiting bodyor fruit body is a multicellular structure in which the spore-producing structures, like basidia or asci, are born.

The fungi consist of spores in the fruiting bodies, that are dispersed for reproduction process. Mushrooms common instance of a fruiting body. These are formed from hyphae, that are smaller threads that usually forms the bulk of fungi. The term mycelium that describes a  hyphae network will be extending in all directions through the soil. Hence, when Fruiting body is cut off it will hamper sexual reproduction in fungi because there are many hyphae with which Fruiting body can be formed.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Option A. they less severely affect the phenotype, so that individuals can reproduce and transmit them

Explanation:

Polymorphism is the genetic variation found within a population, which favors the process of natural selection. It prefer successful traits in population.

While, mutation is the alteration of DNA sequence of an organism. Mutation can cause loss of traits in the population.

Why is the Aral Sea shrinking
Alex_Xolod [135]

It was how fast it was disappearing. Once the world's fourth largest lake, the Aral Sea in Central Asia has been losing water for half a century — ever since Soviet engineers began diverting the two rivers that sustain it, the Amu Darya and Syr Darya, in order to grow cotton in the desert.
