s in space, the station is sealed so no material can get in or out. The space station is in Earth’s shadow, so no light is getting into it. The sensors in the space station show that carbon dioxide in the air is increasing.What is happening to the energy storage molecules in the plants and humans in the space station? Explain your answer as completely as possible.

Answer:

Photosynthesis is not taking place and carbon dioxide is not being processed.

Explanation:

The process by which plants make glucose (carbohydrates = energy stores) from carbon dioxide and water is called photosynthesis and uses sunlight energy. A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen.So plants use water and sunlight to grow and they produce oxygen. Animals on the other hand eat plants, use oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide.

Since the space station is in the shadow of the earth, the plants are unable to complete the process of photosynthesis and the carbon dioxide that is being produced by the humans cannot be utilized by the plants due to no sunlight. There for the carbon dioxide is going to continue to build up as the energy storage molecules are being depleted and not replenished.

In parasitic relationships,the parasite lives on the host and benefits from the host while causing harm to the host .the host does not benefit.the parasites are usually in close relationship with their host as their food source are substances of the host organisms.

The parasite may live in the host , these are called Endo-parasites.

The parasite may live outside the host, these are called ecto-parasite. In this example, the tapeworm is an endo-parasite that lives in the digestive tract of the goat. It absorbs digested food in the intestine through it's body surface.

19. Which graph best shows how enzyme activity changes as the temperature is adjusted above and below the enzyme’s optimum tempe
aniked [119]
The graph would be the 4th picture, a bell-shaped graph.

The optimum temperature should have the highest rate of enzyme activity. When the temperature is increased or decreased, the enzyme activity would be decreased. The graph that follows both conditions should have a bell shape graph.

Monica [59]

Answer:

B. differential

Explanation:

The culture medium is a chemical preparation that has the necessary nutrients for microorganisms of a given biological sample to multiply, allowing its study, identification and analysis. The main components of a culture medium are sources of carbon, energy (sugars), nitrogen, phosphorus and minerals.

There are several types of culture medium, among them we can mention the differential culture medium, which is the type of medium that is being used in the experiment shown in the question above. The differential culture medium allows the distinction between various genera and species of similar microorganisms. This distinction is possible because this type of culture medium has substances that allow for a presumptive differentiation, evidenced by the color change or the morphology of the colonies.
