Photosynthesis occurs when a plants chlorophyll collect energy from the sun, producing a nutrient which helps the plant flourish. The leaves of a plant are flat and act as solar panels, collecting as much sunlight as it can.
Answer: In respiration, glucose is broken down to produce energy that can be used by the cell, a reaction that uses O 2 and produces CO 2 as a byproduct.
Explanation:
Genetic engineering is applied to techniques like DNA cloning in which the steps are: step 1: DNA cutting from the parent source; step 2: DNA cut is pasted into the matrix to be modified; step 3: matrix is introduced to the host cell and step 4, vector DNA is isolated. Answer then is B.
The structure of a typical antibody molecule
Antibodies are the secreted form of the B-cell receptor. An antibody is identical to the B-cell receptor of the cell that secretes it except for a small portion of the C-terminus of the heavy-chain constant region. In the case of the B-cell receptor the C-terminus is a hydrophobic membrane-anchoring sequence, and in the case of antibody it is a hydrophilic sequence that allows secretion. Since they are soluble, and secreted in large quantities, antibodies are easily obtainable and easily studied. For this reason, most of what we know about the B-cell receptor comes from the study of antibodies.
Antibody molecules are roughly Y-shaped molecules consisting of three equal-sized portions, loosely connected by a flexible tether. Three schematic representations of antibody structure, which has been determined by X-ray crystallography, are shown in Fig. 3.1. The aim of this part of the chapter is to explain how this structure is formed and how it allows antibody molecules to carry out their dual tasks—binding on the one hand to a wide variety of antigens, and on the other hand to a limited number of effector molecules and cells. As we will see, each of these tasks is carried out by separable parts of the molecule. The two arms of the Y end in regions that vary between different antibody molecules, the V regions. These are involved in antigen binding, whereas the stem of the Y, or the C region, is far less variable and is the part that interacts with effector cells and molecules.
