Two test tubes are filled with a solution of bromthymol blue. A student exhales through a straw into each tube, and the bromthym

ol blue turns yellow. An aquatic green plant is placed in each tube, and the tubes are corked. One tube is placed in the dark, and the other tube is placed in direct sunlight. The yellow solution in the tube in sunlight turns blue, while the one in the dark remains yellow. Which statement best explains why the solution in the tube placed in sunlight returns to a blue color?

Explanation:

The plant is utilizing CO2 in photosynthesis

Photosynthesis produces glucose and O2 from inorganic CO2, light energy and water.

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Bromothymol blue, an acid indicator, goes from blue to yellow when reacting with acid. The color change in sunlight  confirmed the use of CO2, dissolved within the solution as carbonic acid- its removal from the solution makes the more basic, and the solution goes from yellow (acidic) to blue (alkaline).

CO2 + H2O ↔ H2CO3

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released.

Occuring in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, it depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. Water supplies chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II.

Additionally,

  • water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent; it reduces the molecule NADP to NADPH by providing H+ ions and produces molecules of the energy storage molecule ATP through an electron transport chain.
  • This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.
  • Later, in dark reactions, NADP and NADPH are used in the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules. These store energy in their bonds, which can be released in respiration in the mitochondria.

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’s cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycoysis). The electron transport chain, in which oxygen functions as the terminal electron acceptor occurs in both plants and animals.

"it is possible to combine two or more plant proteins with different essential amino acids to yield a complete protein."
leonid [27]
Yes i believe it is possible. Complete proteins are proteins with all the indispensable amino acids present in proper proportions; for example in foods like eggs, meat, fish, milk. Incomplete proteins on the other hand are food proteins that contain a limiting amount of one or more indispensable amino acids needed for growth; for example corn tortillas are lacking in lysine. It is possible to make a complete protein by combining together two incomplete protein foods in the same meal.

Improve the student’s model of gas exchange by drawing the missing component.
larisa [96]

Answer:

The diagram can be improved by:

                                  Lungs

                                       ↓

                                   oxygen

                                       ↓

                      Red blood cells (carrying oxygen)

                                       ↓

                  Organs (like stomach and liver etc) from where carbon    

                               is taken and oxygen is supplied

                                         ↓

                   RBC's carrying Carbon dioxide to the lungs

The component which is missing in the diagram are the organs where exchange of gases occurs. The red blood cells carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to all parts of the body and carries the wast carbon dioxide gas from them back to the lungs. The carbon dioxide is then exhaled by the lungs.

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Loess is a sediment that is formed from silt deposits due to wind. The composition of the silt is clay and sand. The components are cemented together by calcium carbonate. The silts are blown by wind and accumulate in a singular location.

A genomic sequencing method called _______ sequencing was used in the human genome project. In this method, DNA is broken into m
Dominik [7]

1. shotgun

2. inbreeding

3. cloning

4. Y chromosomes

5. The Human Genome Project sought to map a human's entire genome.

6. Inbreeding is a type of selective breeding that occurs when individuals with similar characteristics continue to be bred in an attempt to keep a certain set of traits. However, inbred organisms are genetically similar, and the probability that members of the population will receive mutated alleles leading to disorders is high.

7. Since no two humans have the same DNA, except for identical twins, forensics can take advantage of this fact by using DNA fingerprinting to solve crimes, convict wrongdoers, or overturn unjust convictions.
