In its simplest form, photosynthesis is adding water to CO 2 to produce sugars and oxygen, but a complex chemical pathway is involved, facilitated along the way by a range of enzymes and co-enzymes. The enzyme RuBisCO is responsible for "fixing" CO 2 – that is, it attaches it to a carbon-based molecule to form a sugar, which can be used by ...
The average rate of energy captured by global photosynthesis is approximately 130 terawatts, [6] [7] [8] which is about eight times the total power consumption of human civilization. [9] Photosynthetic organisms also convert around 100–115 billion tons (91–104 Pg petagrams , or billions of metric tons), of carbon into biomass per year.
In philosophy, Occam's razor (also spelled Ockham's razor or Ocham's razor; Latin: novacula Occami) is the problem-solving principle that recommends searching for explanations constructed with the smallest possible set of elements.
In its simplest form there would be 20 different kinds of adaptor molecule, one for each amino acid, and 20 different enzymes to join the amino acid to their adaptors, Sydney Brenner, with whom I have discussed this idea, calls this the "adaptor hypothesis", since each amino acid is fitted with an adaptor to go on to the template...
‘Tricho’ in its simplest form refers to hair, and in this case makes reference to the many flagella of Trichonympha. [8] The ending ‘nympha’ was chosen by Joseph Leidy in 1877 when he first observed Trichonympha because their flagella reminded him of nymphs from a “spectacular drama” he had recently enjoyed [9]
Here are 10 that might go down in the coming weeks: Rushing yards, single season Barkley got a bit banged up Sunday and sat out a chunk of the game against the Steelers.
Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins suffered a knee injury in Week 12 vs. Ravens. Here's what we know on his potential return.
[2] [6] III: As regards any subject we propose to investigate, we must inquire not what other people have thought, or what we conjecture, but what we can clearly and manifestly perceive by intuition or deduce with certainty. For there is no other way of acquiring knowledge. [2] [6] [4] IV: There is a need for of a method for finding out the ...
