A group of researchers wanted to sort different white blood cell types (monocytes, lymphocytes, and granulocytes) apart from eac

h other based on size differences and to remove unwanted contaminating red blood cells. After a particular manipulation, the red blood cells lysed. The remaining white blood cells increased in size and, more importantly, the size differences among cells increased, allowing for size-based sorting (which requires minimum size differences among cells). What manipulation did the researchers use to increase cell size?A. placing cells in an environment with lower temperatures than the cells were previously exposed toB. patch-clamp recording to monitor ion channel activityC. placing cells in an environment with a lower solute concentration than that in the cellsD. placing cells in an environment with a higher solute concentration than that in the cells

Answer:

C. placing cells in an environment with a lower solute concentration than that in the cells.

Explanation:

In pathological or diagnostic laboratories, to perform the differential leukocytes count (DLC) or white blood cells (WBC) count which are granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes we should first lyse the erythorcytes or red blood cells (RBC) with RBC lysis buffer. When RBC's lysis occur then only WBC's remain in the solution. Then, we add the hypotonic solution or lower solute concentration solution. By adding the hypotonic solution the cells will swell and increase in size.

So, the researchers used the hypotonic solution or lower solute concentration solution to increase the size of cells to differentiate between them.

Note:

In hypotonic solution the cells are increased in size or swell.

In hypertonic solution the cells are decrease in size or shrink.

In Isotonic solution the cells size remain same as normal.

Thermophilic anaerobic bacteria are highly insensitive to ethanol. Scientists demonstrate that one of their membrane proteins X
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Since high ethanol is a major stress during ethanol fermentation, ethanol-tolerant yeast strains are highly desirable for ethanol production on an industrial scale. A technology called global transcriptional machinery engineering (gTME), which exploits a mutant SPT15 library that encodes the TATA-binding protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Alper et al., 2006; Science 314: 1565-1568), appears to be a powerful tool. to create ethanol tolerant strains. However, the ability of the strains created to tolerate high ethanol content in rich media remains to be demonstrated. In this study, a similar strategy was used to obtain five strains with higher ethanol tolerance (ETS1-5) of S. cerevisiae. When comparing the global transcriptional profiles of two selected strains ETS2 and ETS3 with that of the control, 42 genes that were commonly regulated with a double change were identified. Of the 34 deletion mutants available in an inactivated gene library, 18 were sensitive to ethanol, suggesting that these genes were closely associated with tolerance to ethanol.

Explanation:

Eight of them were novel and most were functionally unknown. To establish a basis for future industrial applications, the iETS2 and iETS3 strains were created by integrating the SPT15 mutant alleles of ETS2 and ETS3 into the chromosomes, which also exhibited increased tolerance to ethanol and survival after ethanol shock in a rich medium. Fermentation with 20% glucose for 24 h in a bioreactor revealed that iETS2 and iETS3 grew better and produced approximately 25% more ethanol than a control strain. The performance and productivity of ethanol also improved substantially: 0.31 g / g and 2.6 g / L / h, respectively, for the control and 0.39 g / g and 3.2 g / L / h, respectively, for iETS2 and iETS3.

 Therefore, our study demonstrates the utility of gTME in generating strains with increased tolerance to ethanol that resulted in increased ethanol production. Strains with increased tolerance to other stresses such as heat, fermentation inhibitors, osmotic pressure, etc., can be further created using gTME.

Explain briefly how these features contribute to the efficiency of photosynthesis?​
barxatty [35]

Answer:

here's your answer

Explanation:

the estimated maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis is the energy stored per mole of oxygen evolved, 117/450, or 26 percent.

Consequently, plants can at best absorb only about 34 percent of the incident sunlight. The actual percentage of solar energy stored by plants is much less than the maximum energy efficiency of photosynthesis. An agricultural crop in which the biomass (total dry weight) stores as much as 1 percent of total solar energy received on an annual areawide basis is exceptional, although a few cases of higher yields (perhaps as much as 3.5 percent in sugarcane) have been reported. There are several reasons for this difference between the predicted maximum efficiency of photosynthesis and the actual energy stored in biomass. First, more than half of the incident sunlight is composed of wavelengths too long to be absorbed, and some of the remainder is reflected or lost to the leaves

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Diabetes insipidus is a disease characterized by excessive thirst and the excretion of large amounts of highly diluted urine, which can not be reduced by a reduction in fluid intake.

Diabetes insipidus is due to a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone or insensitivity of the kidneys to this hormone. This hormone causes water reabsorption via action on the distal segment of the nephron during dehydration.
