This space station has plants growing inside it, and astronauts who eat the fruits and vegetables from those plants. Because it

is in space, the station is sealed so no material can get in or out.
The space station is in Earth’s shadow, so no light is getting into it. The sensors in the space station show that carbon dioxide in the air is increasing.

What is happening to the energy storage molecules in the plants and humans in the space station? Explain your answer as completely as possible.

Photosynthesis uses sunlight energy to make glucose (energy stores). A by-product of photosynthesis is oxygen. plants use water and sunlight to grow and they produce oxygen. Animals eat plants, use oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Since the space station is in the shadow of the earth, the plants are unable to complete the process of photosynthesis and the carbon dioxide that is being produced by the humans cannot be utilized by the plants due to no sunlight. Therefore the carbon dioxide is going to continue to build up as the energy storage molecules are being depleted and not replenished.

Answer:

A major reason for the lack of any substitution effect with aquaculture, says Longo, is that many farmed species, such as salmon and bluefin tuna, are top predators so farming them requires feed made from other fish. ... “But it's hard to take a top marine predator and feed it soy meal,” Wiber says.

Explain five important things that can be determined by studying fossils.
Naddik [55]
Studying fossils allowed researchers to learn about organisms that lived long ago. The fossils provide as evolutionary evidence that shows how organisms in our present time have evolved over time and which common ancestors they are tied to. Fossils also provide information about climate change depending on the region and location they are found in. Fossils also date back to millenias ago, so fossils dated very far back in the past can help researchers infer that life had existed even farther than what they might have discovered. And finally, by studying fossils, you can determine how the organism may have died.

The presence of a negative allosteric effector on an allosteric protein would: a. cause a shift to the left in the sigmoidal cur
Feliz [49]

Answer:

d. raise the apparent value of the equilibrium constant, L.

Explanation:

Allosteric regulation is a type of regulation of an enzyme by binding an effector molecule at a site other than the protein's active site (i.e., the allosteric site). The equilibrium constant (L) refers to the transition between two forms of an allosteric protein in absence of a ligand. The properties of allosteric enzymes are explained by conformational changes associated with a low-affinity tense (T) state, or a high-affinity relaxed (R) state. Negative allosteric effectors are molecules that bind to the allosteric site on an enzyme in order to decrease its activity, thereby leading the enzyme to a low activity T state and thus increasing the value of the equilibrium constant.
