Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight and turn it into chemical energy. Here, we describe the general principles of photosynthesis and highlight how scientists are studying this natural process to help develop clean fuels and sources of renewable energy.
Types of photosynthesis:There are two types of photosynthetic processes: oxygenic photosynthesis and anoxygenic photosynthesis. The general principles of anoxygenic and oxygenic photosynthesis are very similar, but oxygenic photosynthesis is the most common and is seen in plants, algae and cyanobacteria.
During oxygenic photosynthesis, light energy transfers electrons from water (H2O) to carbon dioxide (CO2), to produce carbohydrates. In this transfer, the CO2 is "reduced," or receives electrons, and the water becomes "oxidized," or loses electrons. Ultimately, oxygen is produced along with carbohydrates.
Explanation:
photosynthesis the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product.

Make a claim about whether the sun's rays are mechanical or electromagnetic waves. Summarize evidence to support this claim and explain your reasoning.
Answer:
Se explanation
Explanation:
Mechanical waves are waves that require a material medium for propagation e.g sound waves and waves on a spiral spring.
Electromagnetic waves do not require a material medium for propagation. They can travel through space.
The light and heat of the sun are far away in outer space yet they reach us on earth. There is no intervening medium between the earth and the sun that conducts its rays to the earth. As a result of this, we can conclude that the rays from the sun are electromagnetic waves.
What syndrome does this karyotype show?
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The karyotype shown in the question is characteristic of Down syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21. Therefore option A is correct.
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21, resulting in a total of 47 chromosomes instead of the typical 46.
The karyotype reveals three copies of chromosome 21, indicated as 47,XY,+21, which is indicative of Down syndrome in a male individual.
People with Down syndrome may experience developmental delays, intellectual disabilities, and characteristic physical features, such as almond-shaped eyes and a flat facial profile.
The presence of an extra chromosome 21 is the defining genetic abnormality in individuals with Down syndrome.
Therefore option A is correct.

What is Natural Selection? Give an example for Natural Selection for Survival.
Answer:
is the process in nature by which organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and reproduce more than those less adapted to their environment. For example, treefrogs are sometimes eaten by snakes and birds
Explanation:
It's sorta like adapting with extra steps.
Answer: Natural Selection
Explanation: Individuals in a species have variation or mutations.
These differences may either be helpful, such as a giraffe with a long neck, or unhelpful, such as a colour variance in a moth that makes them stand out to predators.
The individuals that are more suited to their environment will survive and breed, passing on their genes.
Those that are not suited will die and their genes will not be in the ‘gene pool’.
This is the survival of the fittest!

How does the body protect itself from the majority of pathogens it encounters?
Answer:
In general, your body fights disease by keeping things out of your body that are foreign. Your primary defense against pathogenic germs are physical barriers like your skin. You also produce pathogen-destroying chemicals, like lysozyme, found on parts of your body without skin, including your tears and mucus membranes. In response to infection, your immune system springs into action. White blood cells, antibodies, and other mechanisms go to work to rid your body of the foreign invader. The immune system has a vital role: It protects your body from harmful substances, germs and cell changes that could make you ill. It is made up of various organs, cells and proteins.
Once infected cells have sensed an invading pathogen, they secrete molecules called cytokines and chemokines. These cells are then primed to resist an infection with the invading virus. Cytokines such as interferons activate anti-viral genes in the infected and neighbouring cells.
Microorganisms capable of causing disease—or pathogens—usually enter our bodies through the eyes, mouth, nose, or urogenital openings, or through wounds or bites that breach the skin barrier. Organisms can spread, or be transmitted, by several routes.
The second line of defense is nonspecific resistance that destroys invaders in a generalized way without targeting specific individuals: Phagocytic cells ingest and destroy all microbes that pass into body tissues. For example macrophages are cells derived from monocytes (a type of white blood cell).
If pathogens do manage to enter the body, the body's second line of defense attacks them. The second line of defense includes inflammation, phagocytosis, and fever.

Shortly after ingesting a big plate of carbohydrate-rich pasta, you measure your blood's hormone levels. What results would you expect, compared to before the meal
Answer:
blood hormone level will increase
Explanation:
since once food reach the stomach it will trigger different hormone process that cause release of enzymes required to digest carbohydrate
After ingesting a plate of pasta, which is rich in carbohydrates, the levels of insulin increases and glucagon decreases in the blood.
The working of insulin and glucagon:The hormone insulin and glucagon work in a negative feedback loop. At the time of digestion, the foods, which comprise carbohydrates are transformed into glucose. The majority of this glucose is sent to the bloodstream, resulting the elevation of blood glucose levels.
This enhancement in the levels of glucose in the blood signals the pancreas to generate insulin, and reduce the levels of glucagon in the blood. After some hours, glucagon works to counterbalance the activities of insulin.
After five to six hours, the levels of glucose in the blood decreases due to the activity of insulin, this instigates the pancreas to generate glucagon.
Thus, after eating carbohydrate rich food, the levels of insulin increases in the blood and glucagon decreases.

The chromosome number in animas is kept the same from one generation to the next because of__.
Answer:
Mitosis
Explanation:
Mitosis is the process of cell division. In this process cells are split to create exact replicas of eachother. It is why we don't grow ears on our hands when they are injured. The hand cells are replicated to create more, so it heals correctly. In the Mitosis the two resulting daughter cells always have the same number of chromosomes from the parent cell. Their role is to maintain the same number of chromosomes in each cell division constant, which allows us to grow and self-maintain our bodies.

Heterozygous parents might have the following genotype RS / rs
We know that there are 12mp between genes, which means that the recombination frequency equals 0.12 or 12%.
0.12 of the gametes are recombinants and 0.88 are parentals. There are two types of parentals and two types of recombinant, so 0.06 + 0.06 are recombinants while 0.44 + 0.44 are parentals. This is:

He continued to breed purple-flower producing pea plants together over six generations. The results of Ralph's artificial selection are shown above. What did artificial selection do to the population of pea plants? A. caused a new species of pea plant to form B. increased its genetic diversity C. decreased its genetic diversity D. caused a pea plant to exhibit a new characteristic
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The correct answer would be that artificial selection decreased the genetic diversity of the pea plant.
Genetic diversity is a measure of the number of traits or characters.
Initially, the breeding produced a considerable population of both white and purple flower offspring. But as time goes on, the population of purple flower offspring increased while that of the white flower decreased till it eventually reached zero.
Thus, artificial breeding reduced the number of traits in the population of the offspring from two to one - a case of reduction in genetic diversity.
The correct option is C.

Would the distance from the Sun to the next closest star be more or less than
39.4 Astronomical Units? Why or why not?
Answer: The distance from the sun to the closest star would be less. I dont know why, but their is a star that is close to the sun. The average distance between them is about 23 astronomical units. 23 is of course less then the 39.4. Also the 23 is a little more than the distance between the sun and Uranus.
Explanation: ( This is new information, not old.)
The distance from the Sun to the closest star cannot be less than 39.4 AU because both stars will start attracting each other.
Astronomical Units:An astronomical unit is equal to the distance between the earth and the sun.The nearest star from our sun is Alpha Centauri which is 4.367 light-years away from our sun.If a star is just 34 astronomical units away from our sun, the sun and the closest star will start attracting each other due to the high gravitational force. This event results in the destruction of the solar system.Therefore, the distance from the Sun to the closest star cannot be less than 39.4 AU.
