The term which describes the breaking down of body cells or substance is CATABOLISM.
The metabolic processes which occur in living things are of two types, these are anabolic and catabolic processes. The anabolic process involves the building up of needed materials in the body while the catabolic process involves the breaking down of waste materials in the body in order to eliminate them through excretion.

<span>catabolism This is a one part of metabolism, the other part is known as anabolism. Catabolism breaks down larger units into small ones , these can be amino acids, polysaccharides and even fatty units in the body. The products of the breakdown is either energy or another substantial end product for another process useful in the body</span>

11) In C3 photosynthesis, the reactions that require ATP take place in A) the light reactions alone. B) the Calvin cycle alone.
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

In C3 photosynthesis, the reactions that require ATP take place in

B) the Calvin cycle alone.

Explanation:

In C3 PLANTS PHOTOSYNTHESIS OCCUR IN TWO STEPS-

1. LIGHT stage , WHICH TAKES PLACE IN LIGHT. In this stage water is split and ATP is released.

2. DARK stage, which takes place in dark. This the stage where calvin cycle takes place which require ATP, i.e energy. In this process sugar is produced with help of carbon dioxide. In this carbon dioxide is accepted by 5- carbon molecule ribulose-1, 5-biphosphate, which result into two molecules of 3- phosphoglycerate. this three carbon compound. hence is called as C3 pathway. hence C3 plants.

Answer:

C. CALVIN CYCLE(LIGHT INDEPENDENT REACTIONS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants manufacture their food (organic matters in form of glucose) from carbon IV oxide and water molecules in the presence of sunlight.

The glucose formed undergoes two purposes; provision of energy and in the fixing of carbon.

This process involved two steps : The light dependent process and the light independent (Calvin cycle).

The light dependent reaction takes place in the thylakoid membrane and requires supply of light energy.

ATP and NADPH are formed, water molecules are also formed.

The light independent reaction occurs in the stoma and does not require light energy. The process used the ATP and NADPH formed from the light dependent reaction to fix carbon and produce three carbon sugars.

So the Calvin cycle light independent reaction is involved in the fixing of carbon molecules into organic molecules in the absence of sunlight and the ATP and NADPH formed from the light dependent process of photosynthesis.

Answer:

d. Autoradiographies

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the technique that is mainly used for this are Autoradiographies. This is a technique that is mostly used for X- ray film to visualize molecules or fragments of molecules that have been radioactively but are also used for  analyzing the length and number of DNA fragments using a special method called gel electrophoresis which is then used to compare the various DNA samples.

The new organism should be placed with the bird group based upon the homology obtained by the genomic data. This would imply a shared common ancestor. The trait shared with bats but not birds could be an analogous trait.

nevsk [136]

Answer:

C. ACFEI

Explanation:

ACFEI certification is given to professionals with the ability to examine and interpret situations related to forensic technology. Thus, professionals with this type of certification are able to act in the examination of bodies and other factors related to injuries from violent causes that may or may not have led to a fatality.

For this reason, we can conclude that Ned has this type of certification.
