Three Umami receptors - T1R1, T1R2 and T1R3 in the gustatory system activates the Umami and sweetness tastes. These receptors get binds to the molecules of food to produce taste. The Umami is the fifth taste apart from the tastes other than bitter, salts, sour and sweetness and its presence is linked to the amino acid i.e glutamate. It is not exact taste but is considered as taste due to its meatiness sensation and due to this reason a cat usually enjoys a non-veg food in the similar manner as the other kind of foods.

A chloroplast has stopped producing atp and NADPH
ElenaW [278]

The question is incomplete, so the complete question is as follows:

A chloroplast has stopped producing ATP and NADPH. Which of the following is most likely causing this?

a.The chloroplast has used up its supply of chlorophyll molecules.

b.Electrons have stopped moving through the electron transport chain.

c.The sun has risen and the chloroplast now can make more chlorophyll.

Answer:

b.Electrons have stopped moving through the electron transport chain.

Explanation:

ATP and NADPH are produced in the light dependent reaction stage of the photosynthesis that occurs within chloroplast grana.

ATP and NADPH are produced due to the movement of electron and proton (H+) in the electron transport chain, so if the movement of electrons will stopped in the electron transport chain, the formation of ATP and NADPH will also get stop.

Hence, the correct answer is "b".

In 2004, scientists announced the discovery of the fossil remains of some extremely short early humans on the Indonesian island
Alex

Answer: The most accepted guess is: By bamboo rafts.

Explanation:

There are two hypotheses.

The first is that they arrived on Flores as Homo erectus and then evolved to Homo floresiensis. The second is that they were already Homo floresiensis when they arrived. This second one is the more accepted hypothesis because it would take organization and language to accomplish this technological water transportation feat. Homo erectus is not known to have developed speech.

Now at the time this transport was estimated to have happened, 100000 years ago, the islands of Komodo and Flores were joined and visible from the mainland. Together they constituted a 19km wide straight visible that could be easily seen from the mainland. The Homo floresiensis tribes built bamboo rafts, or possibly some other floating apparatus made if wood, and sailed there. The islands then progressively drifted apart, isolating them.

PS: It is important to note that some things may have drove them there such as famine, violence, etc.
