Answer:

D) The gland produces and secretes its product into the blood.

Explanation:

Endocrine glands are the ductless glands. They do not have ducts to deliver their secretions to the target cells but directly release them into the blood. The secretions of endocrine glands are called hormones. To be an endocrine gland, the mentioned long oval structure should lack ducts and release its hormone/s directly into the blood. For example, the thyroid gland is an endocrine gland and releases its hormone thyroxine directly into the blood to be carried to the target body cells.

Plant cells have mitochondria, which use glucose to produce ATP. Where does the glucose originate?
Romashka [77]

Plant produces glucose in the chloroplast through the process of photosynthesis. Calvin cycle is basically the biological process through which glucose is produced. The steps involved are as follows:

1. Absorbed CO2 is added to RuBP and 6C sugar is formed.

2. Breaking of 6C sugar into two  3-phosphoglycerate molecules

3. ATP gives phosphate group  to form 3-phosphoglycerate which is later on converted into 1,3-biphosphoglycerate.

4. Electons are required by 1,3-biphosphoglycerate to an aldehyde called glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate or G3P and these electrons are donated by NADPH

5. Enzyme aldolase uses two molecules of G3P to produce 6 C sugar called  fructose-1,6-biphosphate which is further converted to fructose-6-phosphate

6. Enzyme  isomerase converts fructose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate
