Answer and Explanation:

Available Data:

  • 1 gr beets = 2,000 cal
  • NPP = GPP – Respiration = 120 grams/m2/day
  • NPP= Net primary productivity of a system
  • GPP= Gross productivity of the producers
  • Respiration loss 25% of NPP
  • Insolation energy is 800 calories/cm2/day
  • % Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (NPP/Insolation Energy) X 100

1) Find the gross productivity of the sugar beets.

We need to calculate the GPP, which equals NPP - Respiration rate. The respiration loss is 25% of the NPP. This is:

100% NPP--------------- 120 g/m²/day

25% NPP ----------------X = (25 x 120)/100 = 30 g/m²/day

Now that we know the values of NPP and respiration rate, we can calculate the GPP.

GPP = NPP - Respiration

GPP = 120 (g/m²/day) - 30 (g/m²/day)

GPP = 90 g/m²/day

GPP = 0.009 g/cm²/day

2) Using the NPP, calculate the efficiency of photosynthesis for the sugar beets.

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (NPP/Insolation Energy) X 100

We know the NPP, but this value is calculated in g/m²/day, while the Insolation energy is in g/cm²/day. We need to calculate the % Efficiency of Photosynthesis in cm. To do that, we must transform the information.

So if 1 m² = 10,000 cm², then:

10,000cm²----------120 grams/m²/day NPP

1 cm²---------------- (1 x 120) / 10,000 = 0.012 grams/cm²/day NPP

We also know that 1 gr beets = 2,000 cal, and that the Insolation energy is 800 calories/cm²/day

So we need to transform Insolation energy from calories/cm²/day to grams/cm²/day, so:

2,000 calories ----------------- 1 gr beet

800 calories/cm²/day---------X = 0.4 gr beet.

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (NPP/Insolation Energy) X 100

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (0.012 (gr/cm2/day) /0.4 (gr/cm2/day)) X 100

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = 3 gr/cm2/day

Question 1 (2 points)
Blababa [14]

The amino acids coded triplets in the 3' to 5' strand on the normalp53 gene of chromosome 13 are lysine, leucine, Glutamine, stop codons.

Explanation:

mRNA is formed by the transcription of DNA strand coding for  a gene.

Any mutation in the DNA sequence even a difference of base pair would cause formation of different amino acids and hence altered protein.

The amino acid is formed in the step of translation where codes are read by tRNA on the mRNA strand and correct nucleotide is brought to growing polypeptide chain.

In transcription 3' to 5'  strand acts a template strand. The amino acids on the p53 gene of chromosome 17 is

3'TTT AAC   GTC    ATC 5'    Gene sequence

5' AAA UUG CAG   UAG 3'   mRNA

lysine, leucine, Glutamine, stop
