Assume that you have an illuminated suspension of Chlorella cells carrying out photosynthesis in the presence of 0.1% carbon dio

xide and 20% oxygen.
What will be the short-term effects of the following changes in conditions on the levels of 3-phosphoglycerate (PGA) and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP)?

Carbon dioxide concentration is suddenly reduced 1000-fold.

a. PGA down, RuBP up
b. PGA up, RuBP down
c. PGA up, RuBP unchanged
d. PGA unchanged, RuBP up

Answer:

a. PGA down, RuBP up

Explanation:

RuBP, also known as Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate is a molecule that assist in he fixation of carbon dioxide in the Calvin Cycle or light independent reaction of photosynthesis.

RuBP is combined with carbon dioxide using the enzyme known as rubisco to form an short-lived intermediate product which divides to form two 3-carbon molecule structure known as 3-phosphoglycerate.

<em>If the concentration of carbon dioxide is suddenly reduced, it thus means that the rate of production of 3-phosphoglycerate will reduce as carbon dioxide becomes a limiting factor. Hence, 3-phosphoglycerate's  concentration will reduce while more RuBP will become available as a result.</em>

The correct option is a.

Which process in respiration happens first
zaharov [31]
Aerobic respiration, or cell respiration in the presence of oxygen, uses the end product of glycolysis (pyruvate) in the TCA cycle to produce much more energy currency in the form of ATP than can be obtained from any anaerobic pathway.

Which class of immunoglobulins sensitizes cells to allergens?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

<u>Immunoglobulins E or IgE</u>

Explanation:

Immunoglobins E or IgE is produced by the immune system. If anyone have allergy, the immune will overreact with the allergens produces IgE antibodies. IgE Antibodies then reach to the cells responsible to release certain chemicals or mediators that produce Allergic Reaction. It is also known as type 1 Hypersensitivity.

Why do you think it is important to take an average resting heart rate versus relying on one value alone? what are some factors
Marina CMI [18]
2) One value might be distorted; for example it is usual that a heard rate right after sitting down can be higher than the rest rate. Other factors that might affect this is the rate of breathing, exercise. We also have that some bleeding can affect this. Finally, the point that you use to measure the heart rate can also be important in making correct measurements.
1)Taking multiple heart rates leads to more reliable results because you can use the mean and not a single value that might be far off it. You avoid thus the effects of the factors above that happen often enough so that we would appear to be ill many times when we are perfectly healthy; In scientific terms, there is some variance in measurements and that is fine.
3) Even if their resting heart rates are the same, they can react differently to stress. One reason is having low iron in your blood; it is essential for transferring oxygen in your blood and thus it is esssential when one does gymnastics. A person with low iron will have a higher pulse to accomodate his cells' needs for oxygen. The same applies to persons with breathing problems or different fitness (even if the resting heart rate is the same). Also, there could be the case that genetically one has less mitochondria and this also affects oxygen and blood needs in exercise.
4) The average rate for adults is 60-100 beats per minute. While this is not abnormal, it is rather high. An examination might be advised to see what leads to such a high bpm rate. If this yields nothing, it could be that due to age and physics reasons this is normal.

Water vapor in the air condenses into liquid droplets when the water reaches ____. A. A warm front B. Its critical elevation C.
Vsevolod [243]

C

Dew point is the temperature of an air mass in which the water vapor (humidity) starts to condense into droplets due to saturation. This is when dew begins to form.

Explanation:

The higher the temperature the higher the water vapor the air mass can hold. This is because the intermolecular spaces between the air molecules become larger with increased temperature hence can accommodate more water vapor molecules in between the air molecules. As the air mass cools the intermolecular spaces become shorter and the relative humidity of the air mass increases. At temperatures where the air mass can't accommodate its humidity, this is called the dew point, and the water vapor begins to condense into droplets (dew).
