bioremediation question 4 options: 1) is the use of biological agents to degrade/detoxify pollutants. 2) may involve biostimulat

ion or bioaugmentation. 3) has as its goal the elimination of pathogens. 4) produces xenobiotics. 5) is the use of biological agents to degrade/detoxify pollutants and may involve biostimuation or bioaugmentation.

BIOREMEDIATION is the process that uses microorganisms to change hazardous industrial products (also known as xenobiotics) into less harmful or non-toxic ones. It involves bacteria breaking down these toxic substances. Additionally, bioremediation involves bio stimulation and bioaugmentation (the addition of active bacteria to speed up the current breakdown process) (providing nutrients to existing microbial population to increase their growth rate there by increasing rate of degradation)

Important details to remember are.

No Xenobiotics will be created during bioremediation (it is the process of degrading xenobiotics using microbes)

Pathogen eradication is not the aim of bioremediation (goal of bioremediation is to degrade xenobiotics using microbes)

Therefore, the first four alternatives in the list are incorrect. The right answer is the fifth selection.

2. Clostridium botulinum is a gram positive, obligately anaerobic bacterium found in soil, rivers, etc. that does not require oxygen to survive. It is a spore-forming bacterium, and when these spores germinate, a toxin is produced. In rare cases, these bacteria or their spores are found in inadequately packed canned foods. When these spores are exposed to anaerobic conditions, they germinate and release the botulinum toxin.

A bacterium produces the toxin, which is an exotoxin, and releases it outside of the bacterial cell (endotoxin- lipopolysaccharide and protein complexes which are part of structural components of cell wall of gram-negative bacteria and released)

Exotoxins are sensitive to or heat labile. In other words, exotoxin breaks down when heated or boiled. So, heating canned food can destroy the botulinum toxin. Endotoxins may withstand high temperatures.

stable. Endotoxins cannot be broken down by heat.

So last choice is the right one which indicates botulinum toxin is an exotoxin and heat sensitive.

4. Food tainted with Clostridium botulinum frequently seems unexceptional. It won't taste, smell, or have any undesirable colors.

The first choice is the best response, thus.

5. Listeria monocytogenes is the cause of the food-borne illness listeriosis. Pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems are the major groups at risk for this disease, which has no symptoms in healthy people. This illness's symptom is meningitis.

The last choice is the best response to the question.

What advantage is there to phosphoglycerate kinase having an open and closed configuration?
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The correct answer is "The induced-fit mechanism maximizes accessibility of active site without sacrificing hydrophobic environment".

Explanation:

Phosphoglycerate kinase is an enzyme that participates in a step of glycolysis by transferring a phosphate group from 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate (1,3-BPG) to ADP, generating the following intermediary compound and a molecule of ATP. The phosphoglycerate kinase has an open and closed configuration, which has the advantage that the induced-fit mechanism maximizes accessibility of active site without sacrificing hydrophobic environment. This help the enzyme to have a more stable configuration and regulates its use in glycolysis.

What must eukaryotes do to initiate transcription of a gene?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

c)Recruit the transcription factors and RNA Polymerase that compose the pre-initiation complex.

Explanation:

Transcription leads to formation of RNA from DNA. The process is carried out by RNA Polymerase which forms a RNA strand according to the template DNA strand.

It starts by the formation of pre-initiation complex. RNA Polymerase along with transcription factors binds to the promoter region of DNA and forms the pre-initiation complex. Generally the eukaryotic promoters have a sequence called as TATA box where the transcription factors bind first. Eventually RNA polymerase also binds to the region and the DNA strands separate starting the transcription process.

What must occur for protein translation to begin?
Ronch [10]

The correct answer is D) The codon AUG must be identified.

What must occur for protein translation to begin is that the codon AUG must be identified.

The process starts when the 5AUG or start codon is identified. In the polypeptide chain, the 5AUG is the first amino acid. We are talking about Transition, the process when the genetic code in an RNA molecule has to be decoded in a polypeptide chain in order to deliver an amino acid sequence. In this complex transition system, there are important components included such as ribosomes, transfer RNA, and mRNA.
