Answer:
paracrine signaling.
Explanation:
Chemical signaling between cells is one of the most important ways that activities of tissues and organs are coordinated. The nervous system is the other major coordinating system in animals, but even here chemical signaling is used between adjacent neurons. The mechanisms involved are described as either being paracrine, autocrine, intracrine, endocrine, neuroendocrine or pheromones. Paracrine signals diffuse locally and act on neighboring cells.
To prove that a certain fruit (in this case, an orange) indeed contains a certain compound (in this case, vitamin C); then the vitamin C should be extracted and isolated from the orange and must be confirmed by molecular analysis. The extraction process involves using chemicals (i.e. 6% MPA), and procedures such as centrifugation and filtration. Then the extract is stored and subjected to high-performance liquid analysis (HPLC) to measure the vitamin C content.
Answer:
Answer is C. Bacteria
Certain types of bacteria have a relationship with certain plants where they help convert nitrogen into a usable form.
Explanation:
Nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere, but plants cannot use it because of the absence of a necessary enzyme, nitrogenase, which converts nitrogen into a usable form. So they form a symbiotic relationship (mutually-beneficial arrangement) with nitrogen fixing soil bacteria (rhizobia) which perform biological nitrogen fixation. Biological nitrogen fixation is a process in which the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria coverts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia and organic derivatives that plants can use to synthesize proteins. This bacteria form nodules on the roots of plants like legumes in which nitrogen fixation takes place.
Both plants and bacteria benefit from this symbiotic relationship, as the plant obtains ammonia to synthesize proteins from nitrogen in the atmosphere while bacteria obtain carbon compounds from the plant produced through photosynthesis and a secure environment to grow. As the plant roots leave behind some of the usable form of nitrogen in the soil, this process also increase soil fertility.
The number 45 means that the subject has 44 normal autosomal chromosomes (22 chromosomes pairs) plus one (1) good sex chromosome (out of the normal homologous pair). The X0 means that the subject, usually a female, lacks one sister chromosome of the homologous X chromosome pair, or has a partial X sister chromosome.
