The theory of endosymbiosis suggests that chloroplasts and mitochondria were once free-living prokaryotes, that were engulfed by

larger prokaryotic cells. Eventually, this relationship lead to the development of eukaryotic cells with cellular organelles. These organelles included mitochondria, and in some cases, chloroplasts. Which of these is not supported by the endosymbiosis theory concerning organelles?
A) contain DNA.
B) contain ribosomes.
C) are capable of living independently.
D) are surrounded by a double membrane.

The answer is C. The symbiotic relationship has evolved for so many years such that the two are obligate symbiotes and cannot function normally without the other. Chloroplast and mitochondria are believed to have been once free-living bacteria according to endosymbiosis theory.

babunello [35]

Answer:

The cyclist’s displacement is +5 m.

Explanation:

We have, A cyclist starts at a position of origin. He takes 3 s to move east to a position of +8 m. He then cycles west to a position of +5 m which takes an additional 2 s.

It is required to find the cyclist’s displacement. Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it or it is given by the difference of final to the initial position.

Finally, he cycles west to a position of +5 m. Distance between final and initial position is +5 m.

Hence, the cyclist’s displacement is +5 m.

What is the difference between code, codon, and anticodon?
NeX [460]
The codon is a set of 3 nucleotides that can be read to convey a message in your DNA. It can be a code saying to "start" the process of protein synthesis, or "stop" it, or to encode for an amino acid - the building blocks of proteins. 
<span>The DNA is read, and proteins are made by DNA Polymerase (simple version here, it is more complicated, but this is the gist of it) travelling down the DNA. As it travels, it reads the nucleotides and builds a chain of amino acids, that corresponds to the information gleaned from the DNA. </span>
<span>So, the codon is only on one side of the DNA, and there are 2 sides. In order to be able to keep the DNA safe, and package it well (and loads of other reasons ) there is a complimentary strand. The nucleotides that make up DNA are A, T, C, and G. A links to T and C to G, and vice versa. </span>
So if your DNA strand's codons read "AAG AGG TCA"
Then the complimentary strand will read "TTC TCC AGT" the three codons on the complimentary strand ARE THE ANTICODONS of the codons on the strand being read (aka "expressed").
<span>So a codon and an anti codon are made of the same things, it just is a matter of which is being actively expressed. Now, this gets insanely complicated when you learn more about reading frames! Not only are there those codons, but if you shift and start reading the "code" either one nucleotide earlier or later, it completely changes the message.</span>

Explain in your own words why simple cells in V1 give larger responses when the bars are parallel to the axis of elongation than
abruzzese [7]

Answer: This is as a result of it covering more on the center part of the cell unlike when it is perpendicular.

Explanation: This is as a result of it covering more on the center part of the cell unlike when it is perpendicular. Cells in the primary visual cortex tends to responds to a particular direction of light. There are distinct inhibitory and excitatory regions and when the bar of light is moved over the cell you hear the firing rate (noise) which depends on the direction the light moves in. When the bar of light is set at an angle or perpendicular, the inhibitory receptive field is illuminated which slows the firing rate. when the bar of light is perpendicular, it leads to both the inhibitory and excitatory regions being illuminated which can sometimes result in their firing potentials canceling out each other, which can lead to no response in firing.
