Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria are primary producers upon which entire ecosystems are dependent. during photosynthesis, primary producers convert the carbon from inorganic carbon dioxide into organic compounds (glucose and other organic compounds). the amount of carbon that is processed during photosynthesis is referred to as gross primary production. net primary production, however, is always less than gross primary production. which of the following statements to explain this difference?
a. only some of the carbon converted by the plant is used to create new biomass.
b. plants utilize some of the incoming energy derived from photosynthesis for self-maintenance.
c. plants and algae carry out cellular respiration, which requires biochemical energy produced during photosynthesis

this protocol provides a detailed procedure for co-immunoprecipitation (co-ip) to identify protein–protein interactions.

a "theory" a suggestion that is not 100 % accurate, or a figure. some people say its a theory because they of all the passed theory's about one subject. it depends sometimes theory might be accurate and sometimes they are.

i believe the answer would be b. hope it : )

picture a world where computers are building made-to-order personalized robotic arms and synthetic organs, drones are circulating above mars! due to the rapid growth of technology, the future has never been more unpredictable, and it presents a huge challenge in education: we are teaching students how to work in a future that we have never been unsure of. it is widely predicted that in eight years’ time, there will be more jobs in the fields of science, mathematics, technology and engineering than in any other discipline. and, as the technology continues to develop, it will soon become clear that addressing social problems will involve more innovative thinking, and analytical and technical knowledge than ever before. undeniably, there are no subjects that encourage innovative and creative thinking, deep thought, problem solving and independence more than the stem subjects. while it is widely commented on that there is a need to reimagine the ways stem subjects are taught in schools by embracing a more interactive and innovative approach to appeal to more students, it should come as no surprise that some of the most reputable educational organizations in the world are already implementing changes to embrace stem. harvard, for example, announced in 2014 that they were increasing their computer science faculty by over 50% and has since introduced computer science as a core subject for all freshmen. the urgency of supporting stem subjects at a young age is becoming more relevant than ever, as adopting a keen interest in the curricula needs to happen early. however, beyond the age issue is one of gender.
