Explain the phenomenon of photorespiration, including why it is thought to occur (evolutionarily speaking), and why plants have

evolved to minimize its occurrence.

liubo4ka [24]3 years ago

Photorespiration limits casualty products of light reactions that build up in the absence of the Calvin cycle. In many plants, photorespiration is a problem because on a hot, dry day it can drain as much as 50% of the carbon fixed by the Calvin cycle.  The closing of stomata reduces access to CO2 and causes O2 to build up. These conditions favor a seemingly not useful process called photorespiration.  In most plants (C3 plants), initial fixation of CO2, via rubisco, forms a three-carbon compound.  In photorespiration, rubisco adds O2 instead of CO2 in the Calvin cycle. Photorespiration eats up O2 and organic fuel and releases CO2 without producing ATP or sugar. Photorespiration can evolve relic because rubisco first evolved at a time when the atmosphere had far less O2 and more CO2.

What is a DNA probe?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

In molecular biology, a hybridization probe is a fragment of DNA or RNA of variable length which can be radioactively or fluorescently labeled. It can then be used in DNA or RNA samples to detect the presence of nucleotide substances that are complementary to the sequence in the probe.DNA probes are stretches of single-stranded DNA used to detect the presence of complementary nucleic acid sequences (target sequences) by hybridization. DNA probes are usually labelled, for example with radioisotopes, epitopes, biotin or fluorophores to enable their detection.

spanish

En biología molecular, una sonda de hibridación es un fragmento de ADN o ARN de longitud variable que puede marcarse de forma radiactiva o fluorescente. Luego puede usarse en muestras de ADN o ARN para detectar la presencia de sustancias nucleotídicas que son complementarias a la secuencia en la sonda. Las sondas de ADN son tramos de ADN monocatenario utilizados para detectar la presencia de secuencias complementarias de ácido nucleico (secuencias diana) por hibridación Las sondas de ADN generalmente están marcadas, por ejemplo, con radioisótopos, epítopos, biotina o fluoróforos para permitir su detección.

The rhynchocoel is a ________.
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

fluid-filled cavity

Explanation:

Rhynchocoel is a fluid-filled tubular cavity present in the organisms of the phylum Nemertea. This cavity lies above the intestines of these organisms in the lower body.

Nemertea is a phylum composed of worms that can be found in shallow water.

These worms have already been classified as a branch of the Flatworms (such as Planarians), with which they are often confused. But recent embryological and molecular evidence points to a phylogenetic relationship with mollusks and annelids. They remind the Flatworms to be non-segmented flat worms. But unlike these, they have a complete bowel with mouth and anus, and a closed vascular system. The article on Planarians can be accessed here.
