Diatoms contain chloroplasts that have four membranes. These four membranes are evidence of secondary endosymbiosis (Option c).

<h3>What is secondary endosymbiosis?</h3>

Secondary endosymbiosis is a hypothesis used to explain why diatom chloroplasts have four membranes.

According to this hypothesis, diatoms received different genes from distinct photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic ancestors.

The acquisition of genes of different ancestors led to diatoms having chloroplasts with four membranes.

What affects algal growth with increasing depth in the ocean?
andrew-mc [135]
The answer is light.

One of the factors that affect photosynthesis is light. Without light, the photosynthetic rate is reduced or even stopped which consequently affect algal growth. With increasing depth in the ocean, there is less sunlight present. Still, a<span>lgae have accessory photosynthetic plastids other than the chloroplasts</span><span> that can absorb different light in greater ocean depths. This helps them to maximum use sunlight in such conditions. But, in the end, at some particular depth, they would not be able to survive.</span>

Alenkinab [10]

<u>Answer</u>: Hybridization.

Hybridization is the process through which two species can mate with each other and produce fertile offspring thus creating a new species.

This is not happening with the two palm species on the island. This may be due to prezygotic barriers that prevent these two species from mating and producing a zygote (fertilized egg cell). In essence these barriers prevent any gene flow between the two species.

Compare and discuss how cells store energy and release energy using ATP. Be specific! You may draw the cycle
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Due to process of respiration, ATP is formed and release energy by breaking of ATP.

Explanation:

Cells store energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and also release energy in the form of ATP because ATP has a chemical energy which can be gained by breaking down ATP molecule and use this chemical energy in different cellular processes. Cells produces energy in the form of ATP molecule in the mitochondria of the cell by broken down of glucose in the presence of oxygen in the process of respiration. By breaking of ATP, ADP is formed and the energy present in the bond is used by the cell in different activities.
