What's the difference between plant and animal cells?

Acid rain and other forms of pollution can cause soil acidification, which decreases the number of decomposers in the soil. What

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:The question is incomplete because the options are not given. Here are the options.

a. The level of energy available in the ecosystem would increase, which would cause the population of autotrophs to increase.

b. The level of available nutrients in the soil would decrease, which would cause the population of producers to decrease

C. The population of primary consumers would increase because of increased production by autotrophs.

d. The population of primary consumers would increase because of decreased competition from decomposers.

The current answer is option B.

The level of available nutrients in the soil would decrease, which would cause the population of producers to decrease.

Explanation:

This is because when the soil is acidic it will reduce the availability of plants nutrients in the soil and it will result in accumulation of toxic chemicals which can affect the growth of plants.

If nutrients are not available for plants growth which is primary producer, it will result in poor growth, low photosynthesis and hence the production of glucose will be reduced because nutrients is essential for plants growth.

What do we call the three consecutive nucleotides that specify amino acids

kogti [31]

Answer:

three nucleotides—called a triplet or codon—codes for one particular amino acid in the protein. The nucleotide sequence in the DNA is first transcribed into a molecule of messenger RNA (ribonucleic acid).

What is the biochemical explanation for why adding glucose to a bacterial culture containing lactose significantly decreases pro

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

If we add glucose to the culture with lactose, the lac operon would be turned off and the production of beta-galactosidase, other enzymes and molecules that the operon transcribes, would decrease.

On the contrary, if we add lactose to a bacterial culture containing glucose, the lac operon would be on, transcribing the genes, hence, producing beta-galactosidase but only at a small rate. Because the bacteria already got the energy from the glucose.

Explanation:

An operon is a group of structural genes whose expression is regulated by a promoter, operator and regulator genes. In this particular case, they are talking about the lactose operon, lac operon. This operon is required, in bacteria, to obtain energy from lactose when there is no glucose present.

The lac operon contains a series of genes, lacZ, lacY, and lacA. The gene LacZ codifies an enzyme required to break the lactose, beta-galactosidase. LacY codifies for another enzyme required in the transport of lactose inward the cell. And finally, LacA produces a molecule that is involved in detoxification.

The lac operon is regulated, among others, by the presence of glucose and lactose. The glucose is the preferable source of energy for bacteria so if there are lactose and glucose the glucose would be used for energy at a bigger extent. In the absence of glucose, the lac operon plays a vital role and helps the bacteria to obtain energy from lactose.

When there is glucose but no lactose available, there is a repressor than binds to the promoter so the lac operon is OFF cannot express the genes.

On the other hand,when there is lactose and no glucose, lactose enters the cell and some of this molecules turn to alolactose. Alolactose molecules bind to the repressor so the operon is not repressed anymore and the lac operon would be ON producing enzimes and molecules.

If the lac operon is ON ( glucose absent ) the production of beta-galactosidase would be high, on the other hand, if the operon is OFF (glucose present) the production of beta-galactosidase decreases.

In the presence of both lactose and glucose, the genes for the lactose metabolisms are transcribed at low rates in the lac operon.
