individually to study their effects on the cell cycle. The cells on the left are examples of the cells at the beginning of the experiment. The cells at the right are representatives of three different experimental treatments using the compounds listed below. a. cytochalasin: b. an inhibitor of actin microfilament assembly colchicine: c. an inhibitor of microtubule formation aphidicolin: d. an inhibitor of DNA polymerase activity emetine: e. an inhibitor of ribosome activity (and therefore protein synthesis)

<h2>Mitotic Cell Cycle</h2>

Explanation:

a. Cytochalasin: an inhibitor of actin microfilament

  • Cytokinesis is the process by which cytoplasm is divided into two cells hence generation of two daughter cells
  • In animal cells the division of cytoplasm starts with the assembly of contractile ring
  • Contractile band consists of actin and myosin and catalyze cleavage furrow formation
  • Cytochalasin is a drug that blocks the polymerization of actin filament
  • When cytochalasin is added dividing cell fails to undergo in cytokinesis due to defective assembly of contractile band

b. Colchicine: an inhibitor of microtubule formation

  • Colchicine tightly binds with free tubulin dimer and prevents its polymerization
  • In this case mitotic spindle apparatus do not assemble and cells unable to do partitioning of chromosomes into two groups
  • Thus cell division is arrested

c. Aphidicolin: an inhibitor of DNA Polymerase activity

  • Aphidicolin is used to induce cell cycle arrest via specific inhibition of DNA Polymerase α
  • It blocks the cell cycle at early synthesis(S) phase

d. Emetine: an inhibitor of ribosome activity

  • It blocks the protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells by binding to small subunit(40 S) of ribosomes
  • It interferes with the synthesis and activities of DNA and RNA

A region in the southern United States has seen a steady increase of the depth of its water table over the past 20 years. What d
Irina18 [472]

The groundwater is being discharged faster than it is being recharged is the data suggested.

Option D

<h3><u>Ex planation:</u></h3>

Ground water level is the level of underground storage of water above the impermeable rock layer. The underground water is getting filtered through different layers of permeable rocks before it enters the final layer. So it’s fresh and ready to be consumed as it is taken out. Thus for centuries, it’s being used as the source of drinking water.

But with increasing population, the ground water is being consumed at the rate very faster than it can be refilled from different sources like precipitation, rivers and other water bodies. So its level tends to get lower and lower as this continues until the point it gets finished.

Trace minerals are needed in much smaller amounts than major minerals, but they are just as essential for good health. They are
kow [346]

Answer:

1. Heme iron is found in animal foods like meat and poultry, whereas the nonheme iron form is found in plant foods like grains and vegetables.

2. The metal and trace mineral copper is part of several enzymes and proteins.

3. Adequate zinc is important for maintaining a healthy immune system and may aid in wound healing.

4. Selenium acts as an antioxidant and aids in thyroid function.

5. Fluoride is not considered essential, but it is very important for maintaining strong, healthy teeth.

6. The deficiency disease goiter was much more common before iodine was added to salt in the United States.  

7. Manganese acts as a cofactor for a variety of enzymes and also plays a role in synthesis of bone.

Explanation:

  • Iron: The major difference between the iron provided by animals Heme Iron) and plants (Nonheme iron) is that the heme iron is better absorbed by the organism. There are several mechanisms in the intestine that improve the heme iron absorption that is used for producing red globules for the organism. Carnic products such as red meat, fish, and poultry are rich in heme iron. Vegetables contain nonheme iron, which is harder to assimilate by the organism and thus its absorption is lower.
  • Copper: Is an essential element for life that intervenes in the electronic transport chain, being part of the IV complex. It is also part of the enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of the superoxide ion, toxic for living organisms. Copper is an element of the hemocyanin which is a protein present in some invertebrates, with a function similar to hemoglobin.
  • Zinc: This metal has many uses in industry. In health, it is used in dietetic supplements, to maintain its correct levels. It is also useful in wound healing, in reducing duration and severity of colds, and has antimicrobial properties that help to relieve gastroenteritis symptoms. It is added in solar protectors, in toothpaste for good breath, and in the shampoo to deal with dandruff problems.
  • Selenium: It is an antioxidant component of some enzymes that act in the elimination of substances with reactive oxygen. Besides this element is important in the regulation of the thyroid function.
  • Fluoride: Although it lacks if metabolic activity in mammals and superior plants, some plants and marine sponges can synthesize a fluor compound as a poison for protection. Fluoride is used in many kinds of toothpaste because it interacts with calcium to create a harder and more stable fluorapatite matrix that protects the teeth.
  • Iodine: Is an essential element that intervenes in numerous functions in the organism. The only entranceway of the element is by ingesting it with a recommended diet. Iodine lack might cause several problems in health such as thyroid problems or goiter.
  • Manganese: This metal is an essential element that exists naturally in the ground and water. For animals, the manganese is an essential component of enzymes that are used in carbohydrates, fat, and protein metabolism. Manganese is a cofactor for numerous enzyme activities. It is also important in bony tissue development and reproduction.

Living on land required that plants ____.
Naddik [55]

I think it would be to exchange gases.  When you think about it, plants in the past were always underwater.  They didn't have any air.  Now, they are on land and need to be able to exchange gases from the leaves to the roots.
