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.

What observations are consistent with the conclusion that DNA serves as the genetic material in eukaryotes? Select the four corr
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:DNA is shown to be the genetic material in bacteria and some phages.

DNA is shown to be present in mitochondria, chloroplasts and nucleus, where genetic function is performed

Specific genes can be isolated and spliced into bacterial DNA, which can be inserted into a bacterial cell, and then its genetic expression is monitored.

DNA and RNA are found to be the only macromolecules in eukaryotes that consist of a set of subunits which can combine in unique sequence

Explanation:

1. Lipds is another macro molecule with different subnits  of  fatty acids and glycerol,therefore the option ( DNA is found to be the only macro molecule in Eukaryotas that has different sub units) is WRONG.

2 The   correlation of action and absorption spectra varies with different organisms DNA. e..g  in viral cells  there is a wide difference between the absorption and action spectra, that is no correlation, while  some bacterial cells showed correlations. The option(For DNA, content in various cell types action and absorption spectra of ultraviolet light are correlated IS WRONG.

Provide thorough details of how human population, interplanar, and extraplanar conditions contribute to global climate change.
lawyer [7]

Answer:

all i know is the one for the human population part shown in explanation by

ryuvrajsingh1298 ....

Explanation:

Population growth is also important because it affects the Earth's ability to withstand climate change and absorb emissions, such as through deforestation as land is converted for agricultural use to feed a growing human population. We are currently adding more than 80 million people a year to our global population.

Mee help right right now please
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

1) B - protein channel

2) D - to assist in the movement of substances across the membrane by facilitated diffusion or active transport

Explanation:

1) B is the answer because the proteins would travel through the protein channel to enter or leave the cell.

2) D is the answer because the channel allows protein molecules to pass through a selectively permeable cell membrane through active transport and facilitated diffusion.

Hope this helps!

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Due to their hole size.

Explanation:

Some molecules can pass directly through the phospholipid bilayer because of their small size which can easily pass through the small holes of phospholipid bilayer, while those that are too large or too charged need to pass through a membrane protein because membrane protein has a large holes through which large molecules can easily pass through the semi-permeable membrane of the cell by active or passive transport.

A test that combines radioactive chemicals and antibodies to detect minute quantities of substances in a patient's blood:_____.
Phoenix [80]

A test that combines radioactive chemicals and antibiotics to detect minute quantities of substance in a patient's blood is RBC nuclear scan.

It used small amounts of radioactive material that is marked as tag and red blood cell as RBC's. After this your body will be scanned to see the cells and tracking the movement of body.

This process firstly removing blood from a vein. Then RBC are separated from the rest of the blood. After this the cells are mixed with radioactive material. After a short time, the tagged RBC are injected into your veins.

Veins is a tube like structure that forms part of blood circulation system of the body, that carrying oxygen-depleted blood.
