A) Congress acquires requested oversight material from the executive. B) Congress instructs the president to eliminate federal agencies.
C) Congress grants funds to federal agencies. D) Congress makes laws.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Congress grants funds to federal agencies.

Explanation:

Appropriations are annual decisions made by Congress about how the federal government spends some of its money. In general, the appropriations process addresses the discretionary portion of the budget – spending ranging from national defense to food safety to education to federal employee salaries, but excludes mandatory spending, such as Medicare and Social Security, which is spent automatically according to formulas.

 

Hence, congress grants funds to federal agencies and programs during the appropriations process.

Q:

Do plant cells have Mitochondria?

A) Yes B) No
C) Can't be determined D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Yes

Explanation:

Yes, plant cells have Mitochondria.

While plant cells have chloroplasts to photosynthesize, they also require ATP for cellular functions, and do use oxygen to break down some of the sugar they produce in order to generate that ATP. They need mitochondria for this.

In particular, at night when there is no light, plants undergo cellular respiration since there is no sunlight to photosynthesize.

They do, however, produce far more sugar and oxygen through photosynthesis than they use up in respiration.
