The pea aphid, a type of insect, contains light-capturing pigments in its exoskeleton. Scientists hypothesize that pea aphids ga

ined the ability to synthesize these pigments from genes transferred from fungi during evolution. While pea aphids do not have chloroplasts or fix carbon, researchers have found that pea aphids with more pigments have higher levels of ATP than those with fewer pigments. Pea aphids also have been shown to increase production of ATP when exposed to sunlight. Based on this information, is the pea aphid a true autotroph? A. Yes, because the pea aphid does not need to use energy from food. B. No, because the pea aphid must eat fungi in order to produce the pigments. C. Yes, because the pea aphid can store energy from the sun in ATP molecules. D. No, because the pea aphid does not produce its own food using sunlight.

Answer:Based on the information given we can not say pea aphid as an autotroph. Because pea aphid ability to produce ATP in the presence of sun is due to the light-capturing pigment that it gains from the genes transferred from fungi.

As pea aphid do not have any chloroplast and it cannot fix carbon so it is not a true autotroph. We can say it false autotroph because it can produce ATP in the presence of sunlight and can show increased production of ATP at the higher level of pigment.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The correct answer is e. the passage of electrons from one energy-generating carrier to another

Explanation:

The electron transport chain is a series of proteins and organic molecules found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Electrons pass from one member of the transport chain to the next in a series of redox reactions. The energy released in these reactions is captured as a proton gradient, which in turn is used to form ATP in a process called chemosmosis.

These transport molecules, in the inner mitochondrial membrane, are reduced and oxidized, accepting electrons and transferring them to the next molecule, electrons descending from high energy levels to lower ones, that is, from one energy-generating carrier to another. When lowering to other levels, energy is released that will be used in the synthesis of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation.

1. Two genetically identical copies of DNA

2. Finds an error in DNA, removes the incorrect nucleotide and replaces it with a correct one.

3. It is used as a copy/ "template" for replication in order to have two identical copies of DNA.

4. DNA helicase unwinds DNA double helix and Topiosomerase ensure there isn't too much unwinding.

5. Replication has a built on proofreading system - DNA polymerase removes the incorrect nucleotide and replaces it with a correct one.
