Which of the following statements is the most likely explanation for plant withering due to leaky membranes in cold temperatures

?
A. Too many H+ ions accumulate inside the thylakoid, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.
B. Too many H+ ions accumulate inside the thylakoid, so ATP synthase makes too much ATP.
C. H+ ions do not accumulate inside the thylakoid, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.
D. H+ ions do not accumulate inside the thylakoid, so ATP synthase makes too much ATP.

Answer:

C. H+ ions do not accumulate inside the thylakoid, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.

Explanation:

Plant withering refers to the virtual death of plant cells due to lack of food. During the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, ATP needed for the synthesis of sugar (food) is created in the thylakoid membrane of the CHLOROPLAST of plant cells.

In the light-dependent reaction, hydrogen ions (H+) builds up/accumulate in the thylakoid lumen to create an electrochemical or proton gradient i.e. a difference in the concentration of H+ ions across the membrane. The hydrogen ions passes through a protein complex called ATP synthase, which forms ATP from ADP (by adding phosphate group), from the energy generated by the electrochemical gradient formed as a result of hydrogen in (H+) build up.

Hence, a plant that possess leaky membrane due to the cold temperature will likely wither because H+ ions are not able to accumulate inside the thylakoid causing a proton gradient, so ATP synthase makes too little ATP.

Answer:

a vestigial structure

Explanation:

Vestigial structures are a rudimentary (or even functionless) version of a body part, but they have important functions in a closely correlated or evolutionarily close species, an example of which is the presence of eyes in fish of the genus Astyanax. The existence of these vestigial structures is strong evidence that evolution occurs in organisms, since this structure, today without much apparent function, may in the past have been extremely important to the ancestors of that species.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder in which a particular gene does not make protein the way that it otherwise normally would.
Nadya [2.5K]
The answer is A because genetic means it comes from your genes/parents genes so you know it’s either A or B because they both state something about your parents passing it to you. But you know it can’t be B because chloroplasts are only in plants and A says chromosomes which are in humans and relate to genes so we know it must be A.

Which characteristic of the genetic code lowers the likelihood of mutation?
Rudik [331]
Degeneracy

Degeneracy simply means that most of the amino acids produced during protein synthesis from DNA is coded by more than one codon. A codon is a sequence of 3 <span>nucleotides that codes for a specific amino acid.

Because more than 1 codon can produce the same amino acid, the chances of having the synthesis of proteins affected by mutations (i.e. point mutations) is decreased. For example, if the codon with the nucleotide series GAA, which codes for the amino acid glutamate, becomes the codon GAG, the codon will still produce glutamate because the code is degenerate. </span>

Which lobe or cortex is farthest from the cerebellum?
gulaghasi [49]
<span>The lobe or cortex is the largest part of the brain, full of thought, perception, imagination. It is a thin layer of gray matter, divided into four lobes with different functions. The frontal lobe is the cortex that is further away from the cerebellum and is responsible for voluntary movements and decisions and is considered the most important lobe where personality and intelligence develops.</span>
