Euglena is microbial eukaryote that has chloroplasts and can thus perform phtosynthesis. When deprived of light and treated with specific chemicals in lab, the chloroplasts are completely destroyed. Based on the information above, if we re-expose Euglena to light what do you predict will happen?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:  

Euglena have diversed nutritional requirements. They are autotrophic when kept in light and heterotrophic when deprived of light.

The Euglena contains chloroplast in it to perform photosynthesis in the presence of light.

When the Euglena is kept in the dark it starts deriving energy from the organic matter around it and shows heterotrophic mode of nutrition.

When light will be provided to Euglena it will start resynthesizes its photosynthetic pigment and it will start perform photosynthesis.

Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

Re-exposure of Euglena to light after chloroplast destruction will not restore photosynthesis; instead, Euglena will continue to survive as a heterotroph until it possibly re-acquires chloroplasts through secondary endosymbiosis or other means.

Explanation:

When Euglena, a microbial eukaryote, is deprived of light and its chloroplasts are destroyed, reintroducing it to light will not prompt the immediate restoration of photosynthesis. Having lost their chloroplasts, they cannot simply regrow them upon exposure to light. Instead, Euglena will rely on its ability to behave as a heterotroph, acquiring nutrients and energy by ingesting or absorbing organic matter from its environment. Euglena is known as a mixotroph, which means it can switch between autotrophic (photosynthesizing) and heterotrophic lifestyles, depending on the available resources. Euglena stores energy in a glucose polymer different from typical starch, and this storage, along with other nutrients absorbed from the environment, can support them when photosynthetic capability is compromised.

Describe how mendel showed that the green-seed trait did not disappear but was only masked. Please help me :)

Answers

Mendel showed that the green-seed trait did not disappear but was only masked by breeding plants with only two alleles for the trait. After the cross of yellow seed, a small amount of offspring had green seeds. So, he concluded that the green-seed trait is masked by the dominant yellow-seed trait and that two alleles are necessary for green-seed trait to show up.

An eagle is a carnivore. It MOST LIKELY gets the energy it needs to reproduce fromA) oxygen.
Eliminate
B) plants.
C) the sun.
D) rodents.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option D, rodents

Explanation:

Eagle is carnivore thus it feed on flesh of other animals. Thus among all the given options flesh can be obtained from rodents only. However the common diet of eagle includes mammal of sizes varying from small to medium. Mammals like squirrels, raccoons and rabbits are among the common diet of eagle. However,  some eagle also feed on bird and fishes.  

.

The correct answer is D. This is because if something is a carnivore it consumes meat. Rodents are made of meat.

What is the special function of the mucosa in the esophagus that explains why it is relatively thick and smooth while in most areas of the digestive tract the mucosa is relatively thin and folded?

Answers

Answer;

To protect the rest of the esophagus from sharp food particles and stomach acid.


Explanation;

The mucosa is the innermost layer, and functions in absorption and secretion. It is composed of epithelium cells and a thin connective tissue.

It contains specialized goblet cells that secrete sticky mucus throughout the GI tract, that prevents the corrosion of the stomach walls and esophagus from sharp food particles and the acids from the stomach.
