A new experimental pesticide is being tested by a large agricultural chemical company. An unfortunate side effect in plants trea

ted with this new product is a decrease in ATP production in the chloroplasts. (Interestingly, production of ATP in the mitochondria is unaffected.) Which of the answer choices would you expect to be directly affected by the new pesticide?A. the synthesis of triose phosphates from 3-phosphoglycerateB. the transport of electrons along the photosynthetic electron transport chainC. the carboxylation of RuBP by rubiscoD. the oxidation of RuBP by rubisco

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A

Explanation:

The pesticide tested in the given question is thought to affect the production of ATP which slows down the metabolism of the plant and ultimately death of the plant.

Since the pesticide is not involved in inhibiting the process taking place in mitochondria, therefore, is thought to have affected the process outside the mitochondria of respiration that is in the cytosol.

The stage of respiration taking place in the cytosol is glycolysis. The conversion of  3-phosphoglycerate to triose phosphates results in the formation of ATP and is affected.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

Answer:

Option (A).

Explanation:

Pesticides are the chemicals used to kill the pests in the agricultural field. The pesticides includes the harmful chemicals that sometimes kill the non target organisms as well.

The new pesticide that has been discovered decreases the ATP production in chloroplast. The use of 3 phosphoglycerate will be effective in this case. The conversion of 3 phosphoglycerate into the triose will result in increase in ATP production in chloroplast.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

What structure disperses the offspring in flowering plants?
Olegator [25]
Flowering plants produce male and female cells. The male cells are called pollen and the female cells are called ova. When a flowering plant is fertilized, it produces offspring in the form of seeds. However, not all plants reproduce flowers. Simpler plants, like mosses, lack these specialized structures.

Answer: etiolation of plant growth in shade, with fast growing cell without chloroplasts. Out of shade, cell differentiate again to produce photosynthesising cells

Explanation: It is a subjective decision as to what is ‘best’. Good examples are plant responses to changes in the nutrient supply.

when soil nitrogen is depleted some plants, such as legumes, grow nodules on their roots, with cells that release chemical signals to attract nitogen fixing bacteria.

Lack of light induces etiolation in many plants. New cells elongate and develop without chloroplasts, with rapid cell division exhibiting gravitropism, extending upward. When they grow beyond the shade area, cell differentiation changes again, to produce photosynthesising cells.
