In lecture, I mentioned most lakes are phosphorus limited. However, the most severely eutrophic lakes are often nitrogen limited

, Explain how intense phytoplankton production can cause lakes to flip from being phosphorus limited to being nitrogen limited. Mention hypoxia, cyanobacteria, nitrogen-fixation, iron-redox reactions, sediment phosphorus release and denitrification.

Answer:

Phosphorus is essential for growth of plants and other organisms. When concentration of phosphorus mostly from high breeding rate e.g., pigs, cattle etc. rise in water it causes severe growth of plants and algae as well as phytoplanktons. As a results layers of phosphorus start to release phosphorus as well due to positive gradient. These reactions in water are iron-redox reactions that are crucial for the release of phosphorus.

When too much phosphorus accumulates, it produces a degrading growth feedback in plants, algae and phytoplanktons that then shift toward excessive nitrogen available from fertilizers and cause a flip from P to N. Cynobacteria now dominates and denitrification as well as nitrification takes place simultaneously.

Severe eutrophication induces hypoxia in water that cause a major damage to plants biodiversity in the environment.

Under physiological conditions, peptide bond formation and degradation both require enzymes, but only formation requires couplin
posledela

Answer:

thermodynamically unstable but kinetically stable.

Explanation:

The complete question is as follows:

Under physiological conditions, peptide bond formation and degradation both require enzymes, but only formation requires coupling to GTP hydrolysis. Based on this information, peptide bonds under physiological conditions are:

A. both thermodynamically and kinetically stable.

B.thermodynamically unstable but kinetically stable.

C.thermodynamically stable but kinetically unstable.

D. both thermodynamically and kinetically unstable.

  • The term thermodynamically unstable refers to the fact that the peptide bonds are prone to breakage under physiological conditions.
  • The reason why one can conclude the thermodynamic instability of the peptide bonds under physiological condition is that there is a need for a source of energy i.e. GTP hydrolysis for the formation of the peptide bond.
  • The fact that the breakage of peptide does not require any input of energy but the only formation does confirms the fact that under physiological conditions they are thermodynamically unstable.
  • Even though they are thermodynamically unstable, they are kinetically stable because both the formation and degradation require enzymes.
  • The function of enzymes is to decrease the activation energy and hence, increase the rate of reaction. This means that if the enzymes are absent the rate of breakage of peptide bonds would be really slow this points out to the fact that they are kinetically stable under physiological conditions.
