Which element is most similar in chemical reactivity to nitrogen (N)?0

Biology
1 answer:
tamaranim1 [39]4 years ago
7 0

Answer: Phosphorous

Explanation:

Phosphorus and Nitrogen are similar in nature as they have 5 electrons in the outermost shell. Nitrogen and phosphorous belong to the same family on the periodic table.

As phosphorus lies just below nitrogen the characteristics of both the elements will be similar.

They are found abundant on earth and are cycle by biogeochemical cycle.

Which of the following is the coenzyme that functions as an electron carrier in photosynthesis?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. NADP⁺

Explanation:

NADP+ is the coenzyme that acts as the electron carrier during the photosynthetic process. The electron that is released from the splitting of water pass through the electron transport chain and at the end of the chain the electron is received by an electron carrier called NADP+.  

So this passing of electron causes the transport of H ions in the thylakoid lumen from the stroma and when these ions come back through ATP synthase it forms ATP. Then these NADPH and ATP are used in the Calvin cycle to fix the CO2 into complex form. Therefore the correct answer is C. NADP⁺.

Which model of replication did the actual results of the Meselson-Stahl experiment support? Explain your answer.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Semi-conservative replication

Explanation:

After the double-helix discovery of Watson and Crick, there were three possible models about the DNI replication:

  • The Conservative model stated that the two strands of DNI together were the template of another new molecule. The final product was the original double-stranded molecule and the new molecule.
  • The semi-conservative model stated that the original DNI molecule separated into two strands, and each of them served as a template for the synthesis of a new complementary strand. The replication product would be two double-stranded DNA molecules, each carrying an original strand a new one.
  • The Dispersive moles stated that the replication product would be two molecules made by a mixture of segments of the original and the new molecules.

Meselson and Stahl joined to discover which of the models was the correct one. To do it they used E. coli and Nitrogen isotopes.

  • First, they extracted DNI from bacteria grown in a medium with N¹⁴ and got its density band by centrifugation.
  • Then they grew bacteria in a medium with N¹⁵, extracted their DNI molecules, centrifugated them, and got the density band, which was heavier than the firsts ones.
  • The researchers then transferred bacteria grown in medium with N¹⁵  to a medium with N¹⁴, and they allowed only one replication process to occur. DNI was extracted and centrifugated again, and a new band appeared. This band was an intermediate form between bands of DNI-N¹⁵ and DNI-N¹⁴.

This event <em>eliminated the conservative model</em>. If this model were correct, the expected result would be to get two bands: one corresponding to the density DNI-N¹⁵ and the other corresponding to the density DNI-N¹⁴.

  • Bacteria grown in a medium with N¹⁵ and then transferred to a medium with N¹⁴ were finally allowed to replicate twice. Their DNI was extracted and centrifugated. The result was two bands: one of them coincided with the intermediate band, and the other one with the DNI-N¹⁴.

<u>This result was conclusive</u> because if the dispersal model were correct, these two bands should not appear, as all the DNI strands would have part of the original molecule.

With this experiment, Meselson and Stahl proved that the correct replication model was the semi-conservative one.
