The pigments have a similar
structure of 40 carbon atoms covalently bonded in a chain. Carotenoids contain oxygen atoms in their chemical structure (retinyl functional group) while
xanthophyll does not. This makes carotenoids more non-polar compared to xanthophylls,
hence move farthest in chromatography
paper using a nonpolar mobile phase. Chlorophyll
pigment, on the other hand, has chlorin rings (which are larger) as functional
units hence move slowly in chromatography.
Photosynthetic rates
can be measured by either the amount of
oxygen they consume per particular time period
or the amount of carbon dioxide produced per particular time period. This
is conducted while immersed in water so
as to measure bubble rate formation in case of oxygen production or the change
in water pH in the case of carbon dioxide consumption.
When autumn approaches, the amount
sunlight received by the plant is reduced due to longer night than days. Deciduous trees have adapted by losing
chlorophyll a and b pigments (most important in photosynthesis)
during this time. This leaves a higher amount of the other red and yellow pigments hence making the leaves change from
green to yellow-red.
It is believed that this
is the result of an ancient endosymbiotic
relationship between a protist and a
eukaryotic cell. The protist generates energy
that the eukaryotic can utilize in its growth and reproduction while
the protist is sheltered. This relationship became obligatory symbiosis over
time.
Answer + Explanation :
Bacteria :
1) Approximately diameter is 1-5 micrometer
2) They are prokaryotic.
3) They have rigid cell wall containing peptidoglycan.
4) Replicate by binary fission
Fungi :
1) Approximately 3-10 micrometers in diameter.
2) They are eukaryotic.
3) Rigid cell wall containing chitin.
4) Replicate by budding or mitosis.
<u>Viruses :</u>
1) Approximately 0.02-0.2 in diameter.
2) They are eukaryotic.
3) They contain protien capsid and lipoprotien envelope.
4) Donot replicate by binary fission.
<u>Archae :</u>
1) Not typically associated with human disease.
2) Found in extreme environments.
3) Cell wall doesn't contain peptidoglycan.
Multiply 5730 years by 2 since two half-lives have gone by for carbon.
<u>Explanation</u>:
The half-life of a radioactive isotope depicts the measure of time that it takes half of the isotope in an example decay. On account of radiocarbon dating, the half-existence of carbon 14 is 5,730 years
The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years.
In this manner, after
1 half-life there is 50 % = 1/2 of the first amount left.
2 half-lives there is 25 % = 1/4 of the first amount left.
25% is two half-lives.
Every 50% of life requires 5730 years.
So two half-lives require 2 × 5730
Answer:
a. the first methionine in eukaryotic translation contains a formyl group.
Explanation:
Protein synthesis begins when the initiator aminoacyl tRNA carrying the initiator amino acid joins the mRNA-small ribosomal subunit complex. Procaryotes and eucaryotes differ from each other in the identity of the first initiator amino acid. In both types of organisms, "AUG" serves as an initiation codon. However, procaryotes have formyl-methionine joined to the amino acid arm of the initiator tRNA while eucaryotic initiator tRNA carries methionine as the first amino acid to be added to the protein.
