The correct answer is tobacco.

An agent that exhibits the tendency to modify the genetic material of a species, thereby resulting in mutation is known as a mutagen. Tobacco is a chemical mutagen. Tobacco smoke comprises a mixture of many chemicals that incorporates about 60 carcinogens, that is, the chemicals that can result in cancer.

One of the examples is benzopyrene found in tobacco smoke, which has been found to result in mutations. Therefore, tobacco is regarded as a chemical mutagen.

At one time, biologists thought that fungi were merely forms of plants that had lost their chlorophyll and had returned to sapro

Drupady [299]

Answer & explanation:

Fungi have long been regarded as organisms that were part of the <em>Plantae</em> kingdom (plants), mainly because they have cell walls in their cells, reproduce by spores, and the fact that some of them are sessile (attached to the ground).

However, fungi are no longer considered as plants because they do not have chlorophyll or specialized cells, such as chloroplasts and vacuoles. In addition, fungi have heterotrophic nutrition (plants are autotrophic), needing to absorb organic substances to survive.

Nowadays, fungi are studied in isolation and are inserted in their own kingdom, the <em>Fungi</em> kingdom.

Step by step process of photosynthesis

klasskru [66]

Answer:

Step 1-Light Dependent. CO2 and H2O enter the leaf.

Step 2- Light Dependent. Light hits the pigment in the membrane of a thylakoid, splitting the H2O into O2.

Step 3- Light Dependent. The electrons move down to enzymes.

Step 4-Light Dependent. Sunlight hits the second pigment molecule allowing the enzymes to convert ADP to ATP and NADP+ gets converted to NADPH

Step 5-Light independent. The ATP and NADPH is used by the calvin cycle as a power source for converting carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into simple sugar glucose.
