Explanation:
Tests for gases
Hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, ammonia and chlorine can be identified using different tests.
Hydrogen. A lighted wooden splint makes a popping sound in a test tube of hydrogen.
Oxygen. A glowing wooden splint relights in a test tube of oxygen.
Answer:
ADP (Adenosine diphosphate; di= two)
Explanation:
When the terminal (third) phosphate is cut loose, ATP becomes ADP (Adenosine diphosphate; di= two), and the stored energy is released for some biological process to utilize.
Phagocytosis is the process by which immune cells engulf and then destroy bacteria
Answer:
Mutations of enzymes involved in nucleotide excision repair.
Explanation:
- Xeroderma pigmentosum is a genetic disorder and the person suffering from this disorder is sensitive to ultraviolet light due to the disability of the enzymes involved in nucleotide excision repair which prevents DNA damage caused by ultraviolet light.
- Thus, the individuals are sensitive to the exposure of UV and suffer severe problems when exposed to sunlight.
- The major cause of the disorder is the inability to repair DNA damage caused by exposure to sunlight due to the mutation in an enzyme involved in nucleotide excision repair.
- Nucleotide excision repair is a DNA repair process that can excise out single-stranded DNA that is damaged by UV.
- UV exposure leads to the addition of bulky adducts in the DNA known as thymine dimers. The enzymes of NER are involved in the removal of these adducts by excising out a segment of DNA that contains such lesions.
- However, in the case of XP, the mutations make this repair system non-functional or partially functional and thus, the individual becomes highly sensitive to UV exposure.
The evolution of the peppered moth evolutionary instance of directional colour change in the moth population as a consequence of air pollution during the Industrial revolution .The frequency of dark-coloured moths increased at that time, an example of industrial mellaniam. Later, when pollution was reduced, the light-coloured form again predominated. Industrial melanism in the peppered moth was an early test of Charles Darwin natural selection in action, and remains as a classic example in the teaching of evolution.
