A new marine animal species has been discovered. Locomotion is via a muscular foot. Digestive, nervous, excretory, reproductive,

and respiratory systems are located in a visceral hump. The visceral hump displays torsion. The species has a coiled shell, and a head with tentacles and eyes. What phylum and class of the superphylum Lophotrochozoa should this species be classified in?

Answer:

Mollusca Phylum

Gastropoda class

Explanation:

The Mollusca Phylum is one of the most noticeable phyla that includes a wide variety of forms.

The ancestral Mollusca used to habit the pre-cambric oceans. It was bilaterally symmetrical, with a well-defined head that had tentacles and ocellus. Its ventral surface was plane and muscular, shaping a reptant foot. The dorsal surface was protected with a convex and oval shell.

The Gastropoda class is the richest class among all mollusks. This class experienced a characteristic torsion in their shell. This twist also involved the visceral mass, the mantle, and the mantle cavity. But by the time that this torsion occurred, the shell had already experienced a turn into a coil shape, which was then followed by its torsion.

The typical gasteropod´s shell is a conical structure composed of several tubular spirals containing the individual´s visceral mass. The biggest spiral ends as an opening from which the head and the food protrude.

Answer:

Phylum: Mollusca

Class: Gastropoda

Explanation:

The superphylum Lophotrochoza consist of animals with lophophore or trochophore larvae. It consist of five different phyla including phylum Platyhelminthes, Rotiferas, Nemertea, Mollusca and Annelida.

Out of all the five phyla, the molluscs are the only group that are predominantly marine with muscular foot, a visceral mass that houses the internal organs and a mantle that sometimes secrete calcareous shells.

There are 7 known classes in the phylum mollusca. These are;

  • Aplacophora
  • Monoplacophora
  • Polyplacophora
  • Bivalvia
  • Gastropoda
  • Cephalopoda
  • Scaphopoda

These classes are often distinguished based on the presence or absence of shells and the type of shell if present. The only class with coiled (planospiral or conispiral) shell whose locomotion is via a ventral foot is Gastropoda.

Hence, taking the characteristics of the animal species discovered into cognizance, it should be classified in the phylum Mollusca and Class Gastropoda.

Explanation:

-Pheophytin

P680 the primary donor of Photosystem II becomes excited and transfers an electron to pheophytin. Pheophytin is the initial intermediate electron acceptor and carrier in Photosystem II; it is a chlorophyll-like molecule that lacks a central magnesium ion.

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy in the form of molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released. This occurs in several complex steps, photosynthesis is a rate limited reaction, depends on several factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. This occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules like chlorophyll reside.

The chloroplast is a membrane bound organelle found in plants. It contains several invaginations of a plasma membrane called the thylakoid membrane. This contains chlorophyll pigments, in stacks called granum, while the internal spaces of the organelle are called the lumen. Liquid surrounds the granum, forming the stroma.

During the light reaction:

  • Light is absorbed by pigments in phosystem II (PSII). This energy is transferred among pigments til it gets to the reaction center, and is transferred to P680; this promotes an electron to a higher energy level where it then goes to an acceptor molecule, like Pheophytin .
  • Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II. Additionally, water (H2O) split by light during photolysis into H+ and OH- acts as a source of oxygen along with functioning as a reducing agent.
  • the electron moves down an electron transport chain (to PS I)where it experiences continuous energy loss. This energy fuels the pumping of H+ from the stroma to thykaloid, leading to the formation of a gradient. The H+ move along their gradient and cross through ATP synthase, into the the stroma.
  • ATP synthase converts ADP and Pi to the energy storage molecule ATP.
  • The electron gets to photosystem I where it goes to pigments at P700. It absorbs light energy, the electron is promoted to a higher energy level, and passed to an electron acceptor. This leaves a space for another electron which is then replaced by one from photosystem II.
  • in the ETC, the molecule NADP is reduced to NADPH by providing H+ ions. NADP and NADPH are integral to the Calvin cycle where monosaccharides or sugars like glucose are produced after the modification of several molecules.

Enzyme found in retroviruses that produce dna from an rna template. True or False
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

<h2>True</h2>

Explanation:

1 .Reverse transcriptase (RT) is an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase enzyme which makes DNA from RNA..  

2. RT makes double-stranded DNA molecules from ssRNA ( single stranded RNA) molecule using it as a template.

3. Retroviruses like  HIV contain Reverse transcpritase (RT) enzyme, which uses the RNA molecule as template and make DNA from it and after that, virus make multiple copies of itself.

4. Reverse transcriptase enzyme make DNA reverse transcrptionally from RNA the process known as RNA dependent DNA polymerase.

5. It was  first discovered in retroviruses.
