The functions of which cell structure are described in this list?

What would occur if cells did not have enzymes?

romanna [79]

If we dont have enzymes then we would become malnourished as our body wouldnt be able to absorb the nutrients. Enzymes work in digestion to break down the food we eat

A pregnant woman found a large variety of microbes that can be vertically transmitted. She is making a list for her doctor to as

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Hyphae: Cell filaments,mostly septate

Mycelium: Mass of hyphae

Molds: mostly filamentous, Yeasts: non-filamentous,unicellular fungi

Budding yeasts divide asymmetrically.

Dimorphic fungi: yeast-like at 37°C, mold-like at 25°C.

Fungal spores are reproductive spores (unlike bacterial spores). Used to differentiate fungi.

Growth in acidic, low-moisture, high osmotic pressure environments.

The thallus (body) of a mold or fleshy fungus consists of long filaments of cells joined together; these filaments are called hyphae. Hyphae can grow to immense proportions. The hyphae of a single fungus in Oregon extend across 3.5 miles.

In most molds, the hyphae contain cross-walls called septa (singular: septum), which divide them into distinct, uninucleate (one-nucleus) cell-like units. These hyphae are called septate hyphae. In a few classes of fungi, the hyphae contain no septa and appear as long, continuous cells with many nuclei. These are called coenocytic hyphae. Even in fungi with septate hyphae, there are usually openings in the septa that make the cytoplasm of adjacent "cells" continuous; these fungi are actually coenocytic organisms, too.

Mycelium a mass of long filaments of cells that bring and intertwine, typically found in molds.

It is important to remember that behind every hypothesis statement, there are assumptions, knowledge, and theories. When develop

vitfil [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Decrease plant growth - decrease sunlight, decrease CO2, decrease H2O

NO effect - increase O2, decrease O2, increase C6H12O6, decrease C6H12O6

Increase plant growth - increase CO2, increase sunlight, increase H2O

Explanation:

Decrease in exposure of sunlight to the plant or less intense light will affect the production of oxygen and glucose negatively which affect the growth of the plant. Decrease CO2 will be affect the growth of the plant similarly as light and water molecules which is decreased in plant growth.

Increase in the in production of the products which are 02, glucose, will have no effect in plant growth though increase in the carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight will positively affect plant growth.

Thus, the correct answer is - decrease plant growth - decrease sunlight, decrease CO2, decrease H2O

no effect - increase O2, decrease O2, increase C6H12O6, decrease C6H12O6

increase plant growth - increase CO2, increase sunlight, increase H2O

An age pyramid with a broad base that quickly slopes up to a narrow top would be indicative of ________.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

A. a developing nation

Explanation:

Age pyramids are the age structure diagrams that represent the number and proportion of people at each age in a population. The base of the age pyramids represents the population in pre-reproductive age which is from 0 to 10 years. The overall shape of an age pyramid indicates if the population is increasing, stationary, or shrinking.

The age structure diagram for a developing nation has a broad base that tapers quickly towards the top. This means that a larger percentage of the population is in the pre-reproductive age group and reproductive age group with a smaller percentage of the population in the post-reproductive age. These countries have a great chance of future population growth.

Describe the process of light-independent

xxTIMURxx [149]

Explanation:

Light energy is absorbed and transferred to the reaction center.
A water molecule is split.
Electrons are transferred from photosystem II to photosystem I.
ATP is synthesized from ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Output: ATP, NADPH, O2

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released. This occurs in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.

The chloroplast is a membrane bound organelle found in plants. It contains several invaginations of a plasma membrane called the thylakoid membrane. This contains chlorophyll pigments, in stacks called granum, while the internal spaces of the organelle are called the lumen. Liquid surrounds the granum, forming the stroma.

During the light reaction:

Light is absorbed by pigments in phosystem II (PSII). This energy is transferred among pigments til it gets to the reaction center, and is transferred to P680; this promotes an electron to a higher energy level where it then goes to an acceptor molecule.
Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II. Additionally, water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent.
the electron moves down an electron transport chain (to PS I)where it experiences continuous energy loss. This energy fuels the pumping of H+ from the stroma to thykaloid, leading to the formation of a gradient. The H+ move along their gradient and cross through ATP synthase, into the the stroma.
ATP synthase converts ADP and Pi to the energy storage molecule ATP.
The electron gets to photosystem I where it goes to pigments at P700. It absorbs light energy, the electron is promoted to a higher energy level, and passed to an electron acceptor. This leaves a space for another electron which is then replaced by one from photosystem II.
in the ETC, the molecule NADP is reduced to NADPH by providing H+ ions. NADP and NADPH are integral to the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules.
