Answer: a. alkaline b. sulphur

Explanation:

A pH is an indicator of acidity and alkalinity nature of a solution. The acidic solutions have low pH value and the basic solutions have high pH value. Some solutions are neither acidic nor basic they are called as neutral (pH = 7). Below the value of 7 the solution is considered to be acidic and above 7 considered to be basic.

According to the given situation, the pH value of 7.6 indicates that the soil is alkaline in nature. Adding sulfur to the soil will lower the pH of the soil. The soil bacteria in the soil will convert the sulfur into sulfuric acid. The accumulation of sulfuric acid in the soil will lower the pH of the soil. As, the plants growing in the alkaline soil are subjected to yellowing of the leaves and chlorosis.

Use this:

pH = 7 => neutral

pH > 7 => basic (alkaline)

pH < 7 => acidic

So, a pH of 7.6 means the soil is alkaline.

Now, to reduce the impact you should lower the pH.

Sulfur forms acid (H2S or H2SO4) which will lower the pH.

So, adding sulfur will result in the (at least partial) neutralization of the pH and so reduce the impact on plant growth.

Answers: 1) alkaline, 2) sulfur.

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

A. If the aerobic pathway—cellular respiration—cannot meet the energy demand, then the anaerobic pathway—lactic acid fermentation—starts up, resulting in lactic acid buildup and "oxygen debt."

D. The rate of energy demand determines how the muscles will obtain energy, either from cellular respiration or from lactic acid fermentation if not enough oxygen is present.

Explanation:

It is important to consider that Kenny hikes all day but at a steady pace, whereas Janelle runs very fast. So Kenny's case, the supply of oxygen is sufficient to maintain aerobic respiration within the muscle cells. During this process only CO2, Water, and ATP are produced; therefore, there is no oxygen debt. We should keep in mind that the body shifts to anaerobic metabolism only when the supply of oxygen is limited.

In Janelle's case, running fast would need energy at higher rates and the supply of oxygen would not be sufficient to generate a high amount of ATPs. Therefore, to compensate for this deficiency, cells will start fermenting glucose to lactic acid and produce ATP and maintain energy demands. This lactic acid causes fatigue and this is why Janelle has aching and breathing hard. Breathing hard is also automatic reflux to inhale more oxygen and meet oxygen demands but even breathing hard would not be able to make it and the body will shift to anaerobic respiration automatically.

Chloramphenicol binds in the active site of the large ribosomal subunit and inhibits peptidyl transferase activity in the 23s rr
valentina_108 [34]
This inhibition is restricted to bacterial translation because; the peptidyl transferase is an enzyme aminoacyltransferase as well as the primary enzymatic function of the ribosome, which forms peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids using tRNAs during the process of translation. Therefore, inhibition of this enzyme means that the process oof translation wont take place, hence proteins will not be formed and thus the bacteria will die.
