Concept explainers

Photosynthesis

Plants have a capacity that we humans can only imagine— the ability to produce food from sunlight. Sure, we can prepare some dishes that we can savor on, but it become possible because of the plants (as they serve as a producers of all the raw materials required). Photosynthesis is the method of assembling carbohydrates with the aid of sunlight.

Question

What is the function of this molecule ?
stores energy
O is a catalyst
O stores genetic information of the cells
O is non soluble fiber in plant cell

Expert Solution

Step 1

The polymers that are responsible for determining and regulating the genetic characteristic of an organism called nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are present in all living cells. They derive their name due to their existence inside the nucleus and acidic nature. There are two nucleic acids DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
