You have conducted an experiment using litterbags to assess the effect of lignin content on leaf decomposition rate. You selecte

d 6 tree species with a range of leaf lignin levels. Which of the following is a plausible prediction for your study?
A. The biomass of leaf litter bags will increase more in plants with higher leaf lignin content.
B. The biomass of leaf litter in the bags will be greater in leaves with higher lignin content after the same length of time.
C. The leaf litter bags cannot be used to conduct this experiment.
D. The biomass of leaf litter in the bags will be lower in leaves with higher lignin content after the same length of time.

Answer:

B. The biomass of leaf litter in the bags will be greater in leaves with higher lignin content after the same length of time.

Explanation:

Lignin is a major, one of the most slowly decomposing components of dead vegetation, including leaf litters. The lignin content has been found to have a high correlation with litter decomposition.

<em>Hence, at the end of the experiment, the litter bag containing leaf litters with higher lignin contents will be expected to weigh more than those with lower lignin contents.</em>

The correct option is B.

Helloyo!


Massive Star

They are typically greater then 8 molar masses. They typically have a quick main sequence phase, a short red supergiant phase and a death of a spectacular Cosmic event: Supernova. From there they can either become Neutron Stars or Black Holes

Medium-Sized Star

They usually have a Normal Main Sequence phase (Billions of years). From there they bevome Red Giants and expell their mass in a planetary nebula. From there they shrink and become white dwarfs first, then black dwarfs.

Why can the same trna and rrna molecules be used to synthesize a wide variety of polypeptides
Drupady [299]

Answer: The transcription and translation process allows trna and rrna molecules to be used to synthesize wide variety of polypeptides.

Explanation:

DNA molecule is made up of information for coding proteins. This information is passed on the mRNA during a process known as transcription. Transcription is the first of many steps of DNA based gene expression in which a part of the segment of DNA is copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase.

Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language. During the process of transcription, a DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase, which gives a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand referred to as a primary transcript.

A large diversity among genes is followed by a large amount of various mRNA molecules. However, the ribosomes consist of rRNA, which is included in the process of translation. Translation is the process whereby ribosomes in the cytoplasm or ER synthesize proteins after the process of transcription of DNA to RNA in the cell's nucleus. The overall process is called gene expression.

The smallest of the three types of RNA is tRNA, which has only 75 to 95 nucleotides and has a role in bringing particular amino acids to the growing polypeptide. It can be concluded that mRNA contribute to the diversity of polypeptide molecules due to the fact that it carries an information about their synthesis.
