Which statement CORRECTLY describes why the DNA synthesis is discontinuous on one template strand while continuous on the other?

(Select all that apply.) A. It is due to the semiconservative nature of DNA replication. B. It is due to the nature of the DNA polymerase which can only add new nucleotide at the 3' end. C. It is due to difficulty in unwinding the DNA template for replication. D. It is due to antiparallel nature of the DNA molecule. E. It is due to the fact that the DNA polymerase is not active enough.

The DNA synthesis process is continuous on one strand while discontinuous on the other because of the fact that the DNA polymerase can add new nucleotides to the newly replicated strand only at the 3'end. The two strands of the DNA are anti-parallel, and so during the process of replication the DNA polymerase only works by adding new nucleotide from the 3' end. This leads to the synthesis of a continuous strand on one template stand, and the formation of the okazaki fragments on the another.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option B and Option D'.

<h2>Transportation across the membrane</h2>

Explanation:

(a) Simple diffusion; Faciliated diffusion-Directions in which two transported solutes move

  • In simple diffusion diffusion of non polar compounds across the membrane and along the concentration gradient without the involvement of protein whereas in case of facilitated diffusion membrane transport proteins that facilitate movement pf molecules across the membrane down its concentration gradient
  • Both the diffusions does not require energy

(b) Facilitated diffusion; active transport-Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient

  • In facilitated diffusion membrane transport proteins that facilitate movement of molecules across the membrane down its concentration gradient without the expenditure of energy
  • Active transport drives transportation of solute against the concentration gradient across the membrane

(c) Simple diffusion; Active transport-Directions in which two transported solutes move and Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient

  • In simple diffusion diffusion of non polar compouds across the membrane and along the concentration gradient without the involvement of protein and energy
  • Active transport drives transportation of solute against the concentration gradient across the membrane;secondary active transporters coupled with transportation of two solute molecules

(d) Direct active transport; Indirect active transport-Direction the solute moves relative to its concentration gradient or its electrochemical potential

  • Direct active transport use direct energy such as ATP hydrolysis,oxidation and sunlight energy
  • Indirect active transport use indirect energy such as chemical gradient,electrochemical gradient established by direct active transporters;one solute moves along the concentration gradient while other moves against the concentration gradient

(e) Symport; Antiport-Direction in which two transported solutes move

  • In symport both the solute molecules move in same direction;coupled with primary active transport(direct transport)
  • In antiport both the solutes moves in opposite direction;coupled with secondary active transport(indirect transport)

(f) Uniport; coupled transport-Directions in which two transported solutes move

  • Uniport is the transport of single solute across the membrane
  • Coupled transport is the transport of two solute molecules across the membrane;it may be symport or antiport

(g) P-type ATPase; V-type ATPase-Kinetics of solute transport

  • P-type ATPase always transport cations and undergoes phosphorylation
  • V-type ATPase(here V stands for vacuole) transport protons and no phosphorylation occurs;catalytic activity is not reversible
  • Both are types of primary active transporters

How do fat blockers and starch blockers work?
KIM [24]
Starch blocker help prevent the body from absorbing starches so you don't absorb calories, and fat blockers are kind of the same thing, they don't let your body absorb fat, instead it excretes it as waste.
