Answer:

Option C, making ATP to power cell activities

Explanation:

In cellular respiration, the energy stored in food is converted to readily available energy form i.e ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) molecule. During cell respiration, the cell breakdown the glucose (carbohydrate) molecule into carbon dioxide (CO2), H2Oand ATP (energy molecule).  

ATP being an energy molecule act as a source of energy for all metabolic processes. Along with ATP , higher level energy molecules like NADH is also produced.  

Hence, option C is correct

The fact that plants can be cloned from somatic cells demonstrates that _____.A) differentiated cells retain all the genes of th
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is A) differentiated cells retain all the genes of the zygote

Explanation:

A plant can be cloned from the somatic cells which shows that the differentiated cell of plants have the ability to divide and differentiate to produce a new plant. This property of the cell is called totipotency.

All the cells in plants are not totipotent but some cells under proper condition can show the property of totipotency. Totipotency property shows that the differentiated cell is having all the genes that were present in the zygote.

This property of plant cells is used by scientist in plant tissue culture to produce plants for research and other purposes. So the right answer is A.

When the protein gramicidin is integrated into a membrane, an H+ channel forms and the membrane becomes very permeable to proton
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

because a proton gradient is necessary over the inner mitochondrial membrane during oxidative phosphorylation for ATP production, ATP production will decease if gramicidin is added because the inner mitochondrial membrane will become permeable and the protons will be able to move in and out, there will be no electrochemical gradient left to drive ATP production. Electron transport will not be altered because it is dependent on the availability of NADH and FADH2. proton pumping also will remain the same but it will be useless because the protons can go back and forth

The key to the evolution of altruism is that a. recipients have to be more likely to carry the altruistic allele than nonrecipie
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. actors have to be more likely to carry the altruistic allele than non actors.

Explanation:

Altruism is the behavior by an organism that benefits other organisms by costing its own fitness. The actor is the individual who is doing altruism and the recipient is the individual who is getting benefited by the actor's altruism.

An example of altruistic behavior can be seen in animal kingdom easily. Vampire bats give blood to those members of the community who were not able to go for search for blood show altruistic behavior.

Actors have altruistic genes that suggest them to behave altruistically. Non-actors may not contain alleles of altruism but the recipient might have altruistic alleles.

Hamilton's rule says that natural selection will favor the altruistic allele when rb > c.

where r = coefficient of relatedness between donor and recipient

          b = benefit received by recipient and

          c = cost paid by altruist.

Therefore, the correct answer is b.
