Answer:

Radiolabeled carbon atom in CO2

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants fix the atmospheric CO2 into glucose. The process includes carbon fixation during which RuBisCo enzyme catalyzes the reaction of CO2 and a five-carbon compound called RuBP to form 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA). The 3-PGA enters the reduction phase of the Calvin cycle wherein it is reduced into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. Two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate make one molecule of glucose.

To test the hypothesis that glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate from photosynthesis is used by plants to synthesize lipids, radiolabeled CO2 must be used. The radiolabeled carbon atom in the CO2 would be fixed in the form of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. If the plant uses glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate as a precursor for lipid synthesis, the synthesized lipid molecules would carry the radiolabeled carbon atom.

Which of the following is true of a CDK molecule if no cyclin is present to bind to it?O CDK is inactive without a cyclin bound
enyata [817]

Answer:

CDK is inactive without a cyclin bound to it.

Explanation:

CDKs are the cyclin-dependent kinases. These protein kinases serve to regulate the various stages of the cell cycle.  Cyclins are the regulatory proteins. The levels of cyclins fluctuate during the cell cycle. Cyclins bind to respective CDKS to activate them. Unless cyclins bind to CDKs, these protein kinases are inactive. Cdk associates with cyclin and forms a cyclin–Cdk complex. For example, mitosis specific Cdk bind to cyclins and activated M-Cdk then activates the proteins that facilitate mitosis and inactivate the one that inhibits mitosis.

Why was the physician able to use O negative blood before the results of the blood type tests were obtained?
julia-pushkina [17]

The tests are done before a blood transfusion. Blood typing is the first step. This test finds out whether you have blood type A, AB, B, or O. Your blood is also tested to find out whether your Rh type is negative or positive.

Relatively little is known about many obligate anaerobes. Why might this be so? A. The obligate aerobes are far more numerous, a
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

B. It's much harder to provide the right atmospheric environment to cultivate obligate anaerobes, so it's been harder to study them.

Explanation:

Obligate anaerobic bacteria are the ones that can grow only in the absence of oxygen. These bacteria do not derive the energy from aerobic cellular respiration and die when exposed to the presence of oxygen.

Owing to their oxygen sensitivity, the culturing of obligate anaerobic bacteria requires special equipment to ensure the absence of oxygen.

The presence of aerobic conditions in laboratories makes their culture and study harder than that of the aerobic or facultative anaerobic bacteria.
