Biology
1 answer:
bagirrra123 [75]3 years ago
5 0
The reactions of glycolysis are made up of ten steps, out of the ten step three are irreversible, this is because, these reactions have large negative free energies The three steps that are irreversible are:
1. Phosphorylation of glucose.
2. Phosphorylation of glucose 6 phosphate and 
3. Transfer of phosphate from phosphoenolpyruvate to ADP.

The Great Oxygen Event marks the time, approximately 2.5 billion years ago, when ________.
Leokris [45]

Answer :There was enough oxygen in the atmosphere to support a major burst of life on Earth

Explanation:

The Great Oxygen Event marks the time, approximately 2.5 billion years ago, when there was enough oxygen in the atmosphere to support a major burst of life on Earth

For the first half of the Earht's history, there was no oxygen in the atmosphere. It was inhabited only by single-celled organisms.Of  those simple life forms, the cyanobacteria may have. evolved a way to take energy from sunlight, and used it to make sugars out of water and carbon dioxide. They used the same chemical process we know as photosynthesis. This released vast quantities of oxygen into the atmosphere and  triggered the evolution of complex life.

What is the determining factor for the transcription of structural genes of the trp operon?
padilas [110]

The right answer is 3. the availability of tryptophan in the environment

The TRP operon regulation depends on the availability of the tryptophan molecule (it depends if the cell need tryptophan or already has it).

There are two modes of regulation of the trp operon: Suppression and Mitigation

*Repression

The synthesis of operon mRNA is controlled by a repressor that blocks transcription when bound by tryptophan, which acts as a co-repressor.

The repressor, a 108 aa homodimer (ie 2 apo-repressor), has helix-turn-helix domains that interact with inverted repeats at the major groove of the operator, thus allowing its fixation.

In the absence of trp, the repressor is inactive and does not attach to the operator. The RNA polymerase can bind to the promoter and transcribe the trp E, D, C, B, A structural genes.

In the presence of trp, the repressor changes conformation and becomes active, so it binds to the operator, preventing RNA polymerase from accessing the promoter so transcription will not occur.

* The Attenuation

This is a premature termination of transcription that is a function of Trp concentration. It takes place at a late moment of transcription while regulation by repression is done during the initiation.

1st Case: Low Trp Rate, Continuous Transcription, → Formation of the Anti-attenuator in the absence of trp, and therefore the synthesis of tryptophan is continued.

2nd case: High rate of trp, stop transcription, → Formation of the attenuator in the presence of trp. This one will attenuate the synthesis of tryptophan.

Habitat destruction, and thus habitat fragmentation, is the major cause of declining biodiversity; the second major cause is ___
alekssr [168]

Habitat destruction, and thus habitat fragmentation, is the major cause of declining biodiversity; the second major cause is <u>Invasive Species</u>.

The process by which a natural ecosystem can no longer support its native species is known as habitat destruction. Reduced biodiversity and species abundance result from the displacement or death of the creatures that once occupied the area. The loss of biodiversity is mostly caused by habitat degradation.

An imported organism that overpopulates and damages its new habitat is referred to as an invasive species. Even though the majority of imported species are neutral or helpful to other species, invasive species have a negative impact on habitats and bioregions, harming their ecology, the environment, and/or their economy.

The most frequent methods for invasive plants, animals, microorganisms, and other species to spread to new ecosystems are thought to be human activities like those involved in international trade and the pet trade.
