D. red shift of the galaxies in the local group!


Wewaii [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

In terms of astronomy, the redshift is often referred to as the shifting of the wavelength of the light towards the red color of the spectrum. This provided a piece of information that helped in understanding how the universe is expanding in all the direction. The scientists have observed that the light in the universe emitted from distant objects such as the stars and galaxies is redshifted. This is an example of Doppler's effect which is defined as the change in the wavelength of a wave that occurs when the observer moves relative to the source of wave.

Thus, the redshifting of distant galaxies indicates that the universe is constantly expanding and it is theoretically proved.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

When is the lac operon most active?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option WHEN GLUCOSE LEVELS ARE LOW AND LACTOSE IS PRESENT.

Explanation: To start with,Lac operon can be simply defined as a part of the DNA that is under the part of the DNA is manipulated and controlled by the same promoter,they can be found in some prokaryotic cells giving room for regulation over excess synthesis of protein.so simply put,these specific segment of the DNA binds with the segment of the polymerase of RNA so that transcription of the mRNA from the operon genes will be achieved.

Lac operon is also known as lactose operon, it is seen in some enteric bacteria like e.coli where they play a crucial role in coding of genes for those proteins that function in moving lactose into the cystocel and digesting it to form glucose that is used for energy generation. These lac operon are are most active when glucose levels are low and lactose is present,with the low level of glucose, the lac operon can be transcribed to a high level,this is to ascertain that the bacteria only gets to activate the lac operon and can only make use of it,that is using lactose when all the preferred energy source from glucose has been exhausted.

"Generally describe the series of events via which pyruvate is further processed after glycolysis (assume that this is in the pr
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The product of glycolysis is two molecules of pyruvate. It is a three-carbon compound. This pyruvate again undergoes oxidation in the cytoplasm. This process is called pyruvate oxidation which produces Acetyl CoA. The Acetyl CoA is a two-carbon molecule.

Acetyl CoA again used for the citric acid cycle. This is also called as Kreb's cycle / TCA cycle. Because citric acid has 3 carboxylic groups. The acetyl coenzyme produces NADH, FADH2, ATP. The citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial membrane. This is an 8 step process. The first product is citric acid. The other products of each step are isocitrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, succinyl CoA, succinate, Fumarate, L - malate, and Oxaloacetate (OAA).

Another process of aerobic respiration is the electron transport chain ( ETS). Here the energy stored in NADH, FADH2 in the citric acid cycle are utilized. It is a chain of electron carriers. ETS occurs in the inner membrane of mitochondria.  

In short, the glucose splits by glycolysis and produces ATP, NADPH, and final product pyruvate. The pyruvate is oxidized and forms acetyle coenzyme. This is used in the TCA / citric acid cycle. In this process also NADH, FADH2 which forms electrons are produced. Theses electrons are carried by different electron carriers and accepted by oxygen.

In the process of pyruvate oxidation 6 ATP, and in Kreb's cycle 18 ATPs, in ETS, 4 ATPs are produced. In addition to this in glycolysis produces 4 ATPs. The total number of ATP in aerobic respiration is 32 ATP.

Where do plants get the carbon needed to make glucose molecules during the process of photosynthesis?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

From CARBONDIOXIDE (CO2) found in the atmosphere

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process performed by autotrophic organisms like green plants. It is a phenomenon whereby these plants manufacture their own food (sugars) using an inorganic carbon source in the presence of sunlight to provide energy.

The major end product of photosynthesis is glucose, which has a carbon constituent i.e. C6H12O6. However, this carbon needed to make glucose is got from an inorganic molecule called CARBON DIOXIDE, which the plants take from the atmosphere in via the stomata on their leaves.
