Basically you can answer the question if you know the meaning of 32P and of 35S.

32P means Phosporus-32 (32 is the mass) and 35S means the Sulfur isotope with mass of 35 (it's the most radioactive of all the sulfur isotopes btw).

So we can see that the names have to do with Sulfur and Phosphorus - therefore, the best answer is the following one:

<span>C. Because DNA contains phosphorus and proteins contain sulfur</span>

C.

DNA molecules consist of phosphorus, while proteins contain sulfur.
These properties resulted in phosphorus being used to mark DNA and sulfur being used to mark proteins.

The Baltic Sea has very low dissolved oxygen content. What kind of condition prevails in this sea?
bonufazy [111]

The answer is; Dead Zone

These areas have anoxic condition means they have very little to zero dissolved oxygen hence cannot support marine/aquatic life. This is as a result of eutrophication  caused by algae blooms. This phenomenon is brought about by pollution of these water reservoirs. These algae bloom take up all the oxygen in the water during their mass decomposgion hence leave no dissolved oxygen for the rest of the marine life.

What happens when an electrical gradient and a chemical gradient are applying opposite forces to active transport?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Option B, they negate each other

Explanation:

Electrical gradient force is more or less equal to the chemical gradient during an active transport. The number of electron produced during the establishment of chemical gradients, were transferred through the cellular circuit to produce electrical gradient of an equivalent amount in opposite path.

Thus, both electrical and chemical gradient are opposite to each other and hence they negate out each other.

Option B
