Answer:

The correct answer will be option C.

Explanation:

Chromosome is a packaged structure of DNA observed in the cell nucleus during metaphase stage of cell division when aligned in the equatorial plate of the cell.

Chromosomes number varies in different species which facilitates replication and distribution of the DNA to new daughter cells during cell division.

Chromosome is formed after coiling of DNA many times around proteins called histones which provides the structural support to DNA and form a special structure nucleosomes,  further coil up and create chromatin loops which further coil around each other and make a full chromosome.  

Thus, option C is the correct answer.

Answer:

A) Lipids are a source of stored energy

Explanation:

Whereas carbohydrates provide a readily available source of energy, lipids function primarily as an energy reserve. The amount of lipids stored as an energy reserve far exceeds the energy stored as glycogen since the human body is simply not capable of storing as much glycogen compared to lipids.

Scholars believe that saint luke drawing the virgin (3.6.12) is meant to show the importance of ________
hjlf

St Luke Drawing the Virgin, a masterpiece by the Dutch painter Rogier van der Weyden made in the 15th century, depicts St. Luke the Evangelist sketching the Virgin Mary as she nurses the Child Jesus. The painting is unusually rich in details, as the figures are inside an upper-class parlor that leads toward a courtyard, river, town, and landscape – a scene not even possible in movies. Despite a lot of that, the scene is perfectly balanced. Scholars believe that the painter made the painting not only to depict the artist’s adoration to the Madonna and a salute to St. Luke (patron saint of painters), but also to boast his own skill in composition and design.

To efficiently provide the ideal amount of nitrogen fertilizer, some farmers make use of a "chlorophyll meter" that measures the
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in chloroplast in plants. It absorbs sunlight during the process of photosynthesis. It is a chelate molecule. In a chelate molecule a central metal ion forms bonds with a large organic molecule made of carbon, hydrogen and other elements like nitrogen or oxygen.

In chlorophyll, magnesium is the central metal ion and it is bonded to a large organic molecule called as porphyrin. Porphyrin constitutes four nitrogen atoms to which the central magnesium is bonded in square planar arrangement. Since chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of the leaves, more the green color more the chlorophyll content and more is the nitrogen content. Hence, chlorophyll meter measures this green light and finds out if the plant needs more or less nitrogen.
