During photosynthesis a plant absorbs light energy using the pigment chlorophyll. This allows it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. This glucose is:

transported to the growing parts of the plant for use in respiration

transformed into cellulose, proteins and oils

turned into starch for storage

Therefore, to test if a plant has been photosynthesising, you can test the leaf to see if starch is present.

One mechanism by which viruses may cause cancer is to interrupt the genetic regulatory sequences of repressor proteins. Which of
arsen [322]

Answer:e

retroviruses

Explanation:

Retroviruses appear to cause cancer in their host by mutating the host gene sequences allowing for the activation of some potentially oncogenic genes to be expressed. They do this by inserting their proviral DNA into the host genome at specific regulatory sequences deregulating cellular signaling and transcriptional controls.
