A new experimental pesticide is being tested by a large agriculturalchemical company. An unfortunate side effect in plants treat

ed withthis new product is a decrease in ATP production in the chloroplasts.(Interestingly, production of ATP in the mitochondria is unaffected.)Given this observation, which of the following would you expect to bedirectly affected by the new pesticide?A. the synthesis of triose phosphates from 3-phosphoglycerateB. the transport of electrons along the photosynthetic electrontransport chainC. the carboxylation of RuBP by rubiscoD. the oxidation of RuBP by rubisco

Answer:

A: The synthesis of triose phosphate from 3-phosphoglycerate

Explanation:

The process through which plant manufacture foods using inorganic raw materials in the form of water and CO_2 is referred to as photosynthesis. This process/reaction can be divided into two main steps:

  • The light dependent reaction
  • The light independent reaction also known as the dark reaction or the Calvin cycle

The light reaction involves the cleavage of water molecules and evolution of oxygen gas. The light absorbing chlorophyll in the various plant organs converts the energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

The dark reaction involves the fixation of CO_2 and requires the energy generated in the light dependent reaction. CO_2 combines with ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) in the presence of an enzyme known as rubsico to form a two 3 carbon compounds, 3-phosphoglycerate.

The 3-phosphoglycerate produced is then reduced using NAPH and ATP from light dependent reaction to produce triose phosphates.

<em>Hence, if the pesticide affects plants by decreasing ATP production in the chloroplast which happens to be the site of photosynthesis in plants, it will directly affect the synthesis of triose phosphates from 3-phosphoglycerate.</em>

defon

The right answer is exponential.

The bacterium multiplies by binary fission: the bacteria grow and then divide into two daughter cells separated by a septum of division formed by the cell wall. During division, the DNA is duplicated as well as the other constituents. Various enzymatic systems of synthesis and degradation participate in cell division.

Bacterial growth is the orderly growth of all components of the bacteria. It results in an increase in the number of bacteria.

During the growth, there is, on one hand, depletion of nutrients in the culture medium and, secondly, an enrichment of by-products of metabolism, potentially toxic. Growth can be studied in a liquid or solid medium.

1 - Growth curve: The growth of a bacterium is studied in a liquid medium. There are 6 phases which together constitute the growth curve.

. Latency phase: the zero growth rate (μ = 0). The duration of this phase depends on the age of the bacteria and the composition of the medium. This is the time required for the bacteria to synthesize the enzymes adapted to the new substrate (no lag phase if transplanting on the same medium as the previous one).

. Acceleration phase: There is an increase in the growth rate.

. Exponential growth: the growth rate reaches a maximum (μ = max). This phase lasts as long as the growth rate is constant. The doubling time of bacteria is the shortest. The cell mass is represented by viable cells (zero mortality).

. Slowing phase: the speed of growth decreases. There is a depletion of the culture medium and an accumulation of waste. There is a beginning of autolysis of bacteria.

. Stationary maximum phase: the growth rate becomes naked (μ = 0). Bacteria that multiply compensate for those that die.

. Decline phase: the growth rate is negative (μ <0). All the nutritional resources are exhausted. There is accumulation of toxic metabolites. There is a decrease in viable organisms and cell lysis under the action of endogenous proteolytic enzymes. However, growth persists by release of substances released during lysis (cryptic growth).

The portion of a muzzle-loader rifle that fits against your shoulder is the - BUTT.

A muzzle-loader is a firearm in which the projectile and usually the propellant charge is loaded from the muzzle of the gun. This is distinct from the more popular modern designs of breech-loading firearms. That portion of a muzzle-loader rifle that fits against ones shoulder is called the butt.
