The base pairs in a DNA strand are held together with hydrogen bonds. In what way would a cell be most affected if these were co

valent bonds instead?
A. the cell would need to make new DNA every time the strand was open
B. the cell would be able to open and close the DNA strand when it replicated
C.the cell would have to take in and use in order to brake the covalent bonds
D. the would need to replace the nutritious bases each time the DNA strand opened.

The answer (although it appears to be missing a word or two) is:
C) The cell would have to take in and use (energy, resources) in order to break the covalent bonds. 

Covalent bonds are more difficult to break/create than hydrogen bonds, and thus require more energy. The advantage of hydrogen bonds to connect base pairs in a DNA strand is the ease with which they can be broken and then connect again, sort of like a zipper. The same process with covalent bonds would be more like unbuttoning and re-buttoning a shirt, it is slower and requires more energy to accomplish.

Sexual: Genetic information from two organisms (male and female), where one produces a motile gamete (male) that travels to fuse with a larger stationary gamete produced by other (female).
Internal Fertilization: Union of an egg cell with a sperm during sexual reproduction inside the body of a parent.
External Fertilization: The sperm cell reunites with the egg cell in the open, rather than inside the body of a parent.

In the Calvin cycle the conversion of energy poor carbon dioxide into energy rich glucose
rodikova [14]

Answer:

D)NADPH is made

A)ATP is used

Explanation:

Sorry to ask the two questions, I asked why the two options are in the process:Reduction. In the second stage, ATP and NADPH are used to convert the 3-PGA molecules into three-carbon sugar molecules, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate ( G3P ). At this stage, it gets its name because NADPH donates, or reduces , electrons to a three-carbon intermediate to form G3P.[Ocultar detalhes]

The reduction stage of the Calvin cycle, which needs ATP and NADPH, converts 3-PGA (produced in the fixation stage) into a three-carbon sugar. This process takes place in two main stages:

Simplified diagram of the reduction step of the Calvin cycle showing the carbon atoms, but not the complete molecular structures. A 3-PGA molecule first receives a second phosphate group from ATP (generating ADP). Then, the doubly phosphorylated molecule receives electrons from NADPH and is reduced to form glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. This reaction generates NADP + and also releases an inorganic phosphate.

A 3-PGA molecule first receives a second phosphate group from ATP (generating ADP). Then, the doubly phosphorylated molecule receives electrons from NADPH and is reduced to form glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. This reaction generates NADP + and also releases an inorganic phosphate.

First, each 3-PGA molecule receives a phosphate group from ATP, becoming a doubly phosphorylated molecule called 1,3-bisphosphoglyceride (and leaving an ADP as a by-product).

Second, 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate molecules are reduced (gain electrons). Each molecule receives two electrons from NADPH and loses one of its phosphate groups, becoming a three-carbon sugar called glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) . This step produces NADP^+

The ATP and NADPH used in these steps are products of the photo-dependent reactions (first stage of photosynthesis). That is, the chemical energy of ATP and the reducing potential of NADPH, both produced with the use of light energy, keep the Calvin cycle running. Conversely, the Calvin cycle regenerates ADP and NADP^+

+

start superscript, plus, end superscript, providing the necessary substrates for photo-dependent reactions.

Which statement would be used in an argument against the use of human embryonic stem cells for therapy?
Marizza181 [45]

The statement 'obtaining embryonic stem cells for use in therapy requires the destruction of embryos' would be used in an argument against the use of human embryonic stem cells for therapy. It is a type of stem cell therapy.

<h3>What are embryonic stem cells?</h3>

The embryonic stem cells are cells obtained from embryos that have the property to divide and specialize into different tissues.

The embryonic stem cells can be differentiated in the laboratory for the development of specific cell lineages.

The therapy using embryonic stem cells involves the use of these types of cells and the destruction of an embryo.
