What would be the advantage(s) to having no chloroplasts in the cells of the spongy mesophyll?

Biology
1 answer:
Gwar [14]3 years ago
8 0
Well, first off the spongy mesophyll does have some chloroplasts, however they are located quite far from the surface of the leaf where most of the chloroplasts are. Therefore they don't get much light and don't contribute a lot to photosynthesis in the leaf. So why should the leaf waste the energy in making chloroplasts if there is not enough light to make them all efficient enough at photosynthesis?

Which statement best describes the role of gene expression in cells?
maw [93]
The answer is <span>To become specialized, cells need to control the production of proteins coded for in their DNA.

All genetic information in a cell's DNA is not fully expressed at all times. On the contrary, in different cell lines, different DNA segments are expressed at different times. Some genes are active in unspecialized cells and later deactivate, some are activated only in specialized cells, for example. These are facultative genes which are active when needed, unlike constitutive genes which are expressed continually. Therefore, <u>t</u></span><span><u>o become specialized, cells need to control the production of proteins coded for in their DNA. </u>DNA segments, however, remain in cell and are not destroyed. Also, during the mitosis, all genes are passed, not only required genes.</span>

OverLord2011 [107]

A swimmer sprints a short distance for competition. The swimmer is not able to take in enough oxygen to make the ATP needed for the sprint. Which of the following processes is most likely going to occur in the swimmer's muscle cells during the competition? (2 points)

A. Aerobic respiration would continue until oxygen is no longer available, leading to cell death.

B. Aerobic respiration will continue to make the same amount of ATP since oxygen is not required.

C. Anaerobic respiration would be used to produce small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen.

D. Anaerobic respiration will produce more ATP than the process used in the presence of oxygen.

<u>Answer:</u>

A swimmer sprints a short distance for competition. The swimmer is not able to take in enough oxygen to make the ATP needed for the sprint. Anaerobic respiration would be used to produce small amounts of ATP in the absence of oxygen and it is the process happens in the swimmer's muscle cells during competition.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A Swimming sprinter will spend his maximum energy while to cover a short distance in his competition. Quickly he will reduce his oxygen level.
  • Oxygen will produce an ATP molecule (Adenosine Triphosphate) which is required for a sprinter.
  • The ATP molecule will produce energy for the cells. Aerobic respiration takes place only when in the presence of oxygen.
  • While swimming they will not get enough oxygen so the Anaerobic respiration takes place to produce ATP molecule.

What happen at the synapse between two neurons?
IceJOKER [234]
When a nerve impulse reaches the end of the first neuron (presynaptic terminal), various neurotransmitters are released from the same, into the area between the two neurons, called as a synaptic cleft. From synaptic cleft, these neurotransmitters are picked up the postsynaptic terminal of the second neuron, which leads to an impulse.

Why do rice plants include starch and protein in their seeds
Wittaler [7]
A single gene could be inserted into a plant's genome, enabling specific traits to be expressed easily. Scientists have identified genes for two enzymes needed to make pro-vitamin A. One of these genes comes from corn.
