Answer:
B. chloroplasts
Explanation:
In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll. Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane and contain a third inner membrane, called the thylakoid membrane, that forms long folds within the organelle
Answer:
c. in renal dysfunction, dosage reduction is necessary to avoid seizures
Explanation:
Imipenem is an antibiotic which is given in combination with cilastatin. It is used to treat pneumonia, joint infections, urinary tract infections, sepsis etc. It kills bacteria by interfering with its cell wall formation process. It is metabolized in kidney reducing its half life so cilastatin is given with it to halt its renal metabolism.
Imipenem belongs to carbapenem family of antibiotics. Carbapenem antibiotics can cause seizures specially in people with nervous system disorders or renal failure. Dose must be reduced in patients with renal (kidney) dysfunction otherwise patient's kidneys will be damaged more and since they are already in weak state, it can prove dangerous to the patient.
Answer: C. Ii & III are correct
II. reduced intracellular ATP.
III. apoptosis or necrosis.
Explanation:
Cytochrome c oxidase controls the last step of food oxidation. Cytochrome c oxidase is an enzyme responsible for electron transfer in the electron transport chain (ETC), it inhibit in slowing down or stopping the ETC.
Consequently, ATP production would be gradually reduced, as the ETC is responsible for the majority of ATP production. This shows option II is correct.
The question starts by stating that cyanide is highly toxic, so this match up with the fact that a large dose would also cause cell death (apoptosis or necrosis). Therefore, option III is also accurate.
Option I: Inhibiting the ETC is consequential as it reduces oxygen demand because electrons would not flow to oxygen, the final electron acceptor.
Answer:
40% is Adenine.
Explanation:
In DNA, Guanine pairs with Cytosine and Adenine pairs with Thymine.
If a strand of DNA contains 10% Guanine, that means that it also contains 10% Cytosine.
10% G + 10% C = 20%
100% - 20% = 80% (Adenine and Thymine)
80% ÷ 2 = 40%
The strand of DNA contains 10% Guanine, 10% Cytosine, 40% Adenine, and 40% Thymine.
