Several medicines that treat human diseases have been sourced from plants in tropical rainforests. For example, quinine, which i

s used to treat malaria, was originally isolated from Cinchona plants in South American rainforests. As only approximately 10% of the plants in rainforests have been investigated for medicinal compounds, researchers predict that there may be many more plants with medicinal properties yet to be discovered in rainforests.
Deforestation of rainforests would most likely affect such plants by causing....

Two cells in the same organism differ only in the number of chloroplasts they contain. The first cell has multiple chloroplasts,
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer;

The second cell would not be able to produce as much food because it could not capture sunlight.


Explanation;

The first cell has multiple chloroplasts, and the second cell has very few which means the cell with more chloroplasts would make more food.

Chloroplast is an organelle is the cell where the process of photosynthesis (process in which plants make their own food) takes place.

A cell with multiple chloroplasts would make more food through photosynthesis compared to a cell with few chloroplasts.

Another application of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is to screen samples for the presence of viruses. For example, rememb
yuradex [85]

Answer:

For the 1st part, the correct answer is option C.  

In a polymerase chain reaction, the amplification of DNA template takes place not RNA. So, prior to going into the process, there is a need to initially convert RNA into DNA with the help of an enzyme reverse transcriptase.  

For the 2nd part, the correct answer is option D.  

The suitable temperature for human DNA polymerase is 37 degrees Celsius, and it gets denatured at greater temperatures. As PCR runs at exceedingly high temperature like 95 degrees Celsius, only Taq DNA polymerase can withstand the temperature. Thus, normal DNA polymerase cannot be utilized in the PCR reactions.
