Question

Q1 : in a bad sporangiospores and fungi, are found in bag-like structures. Ascospores are also found in bag-like structures, but are always present in even numbers. Why are these spore types not the same?

A. They are basically the same, but the sporangiospores are always larger.

B. Ascospores are formed as a result of meiosis, while sporangiospores are a result of mitosis.

C. Sporangiospores are produced by sexual recombination, while ascospores are produced asexually.

D. They are basically the same, but ascospores are always larger.

E. The structures are the same, but they were named differently before they were determined to have the same function.

Explanation / Answer

Answer : B manufacture organic compounds for the storage of energy (electrons), not to use the compounds, so option A can be eliminated. Since NAD must actually be reduced by the capture of an electron, it lacks one to be the originator, so option B is out as well. Chlorophyll only captures the energy of a photon, which it then transfers to an electron. The electrons come from a molecule of water in the process of photolysis, which also releases hydrogen ions and oxygen gas when the electrons are harvested
