These interactions form complex relationships like food chains and symbiosis.

Explanation

Fermentation is an anaerobic process where organisms like yeast or bacteria convert sugars into acid or alcohol, releasing energy.

It does not produce glucose, and it can occur in many cells, not just muscles.

Explanation

During prophase, each centrosome forms astral rays, which are star-shaped microtubules radiating outward.

These help in spindle formation and chromosome movement.

Explanation

It must be subjected to experimentation or observation to determine its validity — it is not always proved but always tested.

Explanation

 Uranium is not a fossil fuel; Coal and Oil are. 

Fossil fuels are formed from the remains of decomposed organic matter (plants and animals) over millions of years.

Uranium, a radioactive element, is not formed from organic matter and is considered a nuclear fuel, not a fossil fuel

Explanation

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose (a chemical energy source) and oxygen.

It occurs mainly in the chloroplasts of plant cells, which contain chlorophyll.
