Why do leaves change color in the fall?

Biology
1 answer:
AveGali [126]2 years ago
6 0

The correct answer is D. They stop making chlorophyll

Explanation:

The regular green color in leaves is mainly the result of chlorophyll, which is essential for photosynthesis. This substance stops being produced by plants during the fall, and this causes leaves to lose their characteristic color. Additionally, this process is the result of shorter days, and therefore fewer daylight hours, which reduces or stops the production of chlorophyll. At the same time, the carotenoids which are red, yellow, and orange pigments begin to be visible. Thus, the reason leaves change color in the fall is that they stop making chlorophyll.

Pancreatic cells, which secrete a large amount of digestive enzymes, are labeled with radioactive leucine and then chased for se
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

On the exterior of the cell.

Explanation:

The black spots as mentioned in the given case would appear on the exterior of the cell after three hours, which suggests that the proteins or the enzymes had been discharged from the pancreatic cell. The mentioned method of labeling and then chasing the component is known as a pulse-chase experiment.  

In this experiment, the labeled compounds are used to follow the dynamics of cellular pathways and procedures. The molecules in a cell get produced and degraded spontaneously at various rates. These changes in the localization of the molecule and its expression levels with time can be determined by exposing or pulsing cells to a labeled compound.  

After this the cells are exposed sequentially to the same compound unlabeled, the process is termed as the chase. The compounds are generally labeled with fluorescent dyes or radioisotopes.

Analyze the model of the cell membrane below. Which of the following statements is true about the phospholipid components of the
MArishka [77]

Answer:

This question appears incomplete but The correct option is the last option

Explanation:

Cell membranes are made up of a lipid/phospholipid bilayer in which each layer consists of an hydrophilic head (water loving) and a hydrophobic tail (water fearing). The hydrophobic tail of each layer is oriented inward and the hydrophilic heads are oriented outward so the cell can interact with water molecules inside (the cytoplasm) and outside the cell environment. This orientation forms a critical part of the function of the cell membrane that makes it a selectively permeable barrier that regulates what goes in and out of the cell.
