The diagram shows how light energy from the Sun drives the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Which statement best describes the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration? A.) The only difference between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is whether the process occurs in plants or animals
B.) Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are competitive processes that require the same reactants to start a reaction
C.) Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complementary processes that could not occur without one another
D.) The only difference between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is whether or not light is available to start the reaction

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be C.) Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complementary processes that could not occur without one another.

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants convert sunlight into chemical energy or food or glucose.

It produces glucose or food from simpler substances like carbon dioxide and water in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.

The overall reaction can be written as:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + sunlight → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

In contrast, the cellular respiration converts the chemical energy of the food into ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

It oxidizes glucose completely in presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy (approximately 36-38 ATP).

It takes place in almost all organism including plants.

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy (ATP)

Thus, we can say that photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complementary to each other.

Answer 2

Answer: the answer is C - Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are complementary processes that could not occur without one another

In gel electrophoresis why does the DNA move toward the bottom of the wall of gel? A. DNA is negatively charged. B. DNA is positively charged. C. DNA is extremely heavy. D. DNA is less dense than air.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "DNA is negatively charged".

Explanation:

The molecules of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) have a negative charge because of the negative charge of phosphate component located in its ribose-phosphate backbone. This property of DNA is used during gel electrophoresis to separate the molecules according to its size. One molecule of DNA has a one negative charge, and moves towards the bottom of the wall of the gel because is where the anode is located. The larger the size of the DNA the faster it will move to the anode.

A. The DNA is negatively charged.

two identical daughter cell result from mitosis and cytokinesis. In what ways are they " identical"?

Answers

they are identical because they are made up of the same materials. we had one cell to begin with, and it didn't so much as clone itself, but split in half to creat 2 daughter cells. ther have the same plasma, same organelles, and most importantly, the same dna in their chromosomes so that when they grow, they grow exactly the same way.

Which plant cell structure stores large amounts of chemicals—including salts, minerals, proteins, and water—for the cell and helps the cell maintain its shape?

Answers

The central vacuole is the plant cell structure that stores large amounts of chemicals - including salts, minerals, proteins, and water - for the cell and helps the cell maintain its shape. A vacuole is actually a membrane bound organelle that is present in all plant and fungal cells present on our earth. Some animal, protist and bacterial cells also have vacuole.
