What is the importance of the light-independent reactions in terms of carbon flow in the biosphere?

Answer:

Synthesis of carbon compounds

Explanation:

Light-independent reactions are a set of chemical reactions that occur in plant chloroplasts during photosynthesis. The product of these chemical reactions is glucose, a carbon compound essential for living things.

Photosynthesis is part of the carbon cycle, and therefore is involved in the flow o this element in the biosphere.  

During the day, plants use the Sun's energy to convert CO2 from the atmosphere into carbohydrates (photosynthesis). During the night, they use the carbohydrates  they produced to produce energy and release CO2 back into the atmosphere (respiration).

marta [7]

Answer:

When a neuron fires and its electric charge travels down the axon, causing neurotransmitters to be released by the neuron's terminal buttons, an <u>action potential</u> occurs.

Explanation:

An action potential, commonly termed as impulse, can be described as messages which are transferred in electrical form. Action potential are caused due to different electric charges. An action potential is generated by  a stimulus which causes transfer of sodium ions into the axons resulting in depolarization of the neuron. To overcome this, potassium ion will enter the cell and an action potential will be generated.

The action potential causes release of the neurotransmitters so that signal messages could be transferred.

A checkered hen mates with a checkered rooster. The genes for the checkered trait are codominant in both parents. What are the c
seropon [69]

Answer:

Option D, 75%

Explanation:

Let the genotype of co dominant checkered hen mates and checkered rooster be CcC and CcC

Where Cc – is the allele for chekered skin  

C – is the allele for non chekered skin

Co-dominant allele are those which irrespective of being dominant or recessive are expressed equally.  

The punnet square for the cross between these two would be  

Cc C

Cc CcCc CcC

C CCc          CC

3 out of 4 offsprings have chekered allele i.e CcCc, CcC and CcC. Thus, the probability of chekered offsprings would be 75%
