Answer:
The correct answer is D
Explanation:
The equation of the process is:.
Co2 + H20+ light -> Glucose(C6H12O6) + 02 (is released) + H20.
The energy of light is harnessed through a plant pigment called chlorophyll, Co2 is obtained from the air and the water is obtained from the roots, transported by the leaves.
The first piece of evidence that needed to be found to support the endosymbiotic hypothesis was whether or not mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA and if this DNA is similar to bacterial DNA. This was later proven to be true for DNA, RNA, ribosomes, chlorophyll (for chloroplasts), and protein synthesis.
It would be most important for Eric to find out his <em>zinc, iron and vitamin B12 (or riboflavin) levels, and ensure that he is obtaining adequate amounts of these vitamins and minerals through vegetarian sources </em>.
A vegetarian diet is typically low in zinc rich foods, since meat, shell fish and eggs are the most abundant sources of zinc. In order to ensure that he obtains sufficient zinc, Eric should make sure he consumes vegetarian zinc sources such as legumes, lentils, dairy, nuts and seeds on a daily basis.
Since iron and vitamin B12 are also difficult to obtain from vegetarian sources, Eric should consume iron rich foods such as spinach, kale, whole grains, broccoli, legumes,etc., on a daily basis. As for vitamin B12, daily supplementation of 2.4 μg is recommended for vegetarians. Alternatively, riboflavin fortified cereals and grains are also recommended to meet daily riboflavin requirements.
