Answer:

(B) open stomata only at night, limiting water loss because of heat and low humidity.

Explanation:

CAM plants are found in the regions characterized by very hot and dry environmental conditions. These plants reduce the water loss through transpiration by exhibiting CAM photosynthesis.  

They open the stomata during night time when the air is cooler and rich in moisture. They take in CO2 during night time and fix it into the oxaloacetate which in turn is converted into malate and is stored in the vacuoles.  

During day time, stomata remain closed to prevent water loss and the CO2 trapped during night time (released by decarboxylation of malate) enter the Calvin cycle.

Which is not the precursor for the de novo purine biosynthesis?
amm1812

The correct option is (B) Lysine.

The precursors glutamine (N2 and N9), glycine (C4, C5, and N7), aspartate (N1), co2 (C6), and folate are used to create the purine ring (C2 and C8). All are precursors to the purine ring, with the exception of lysine.

How is Purine synthesized de novo?

  • In all cells, the cytosol is where purine biosynthesis takes place.
  • There are 11 steps that are catalyzed by enzymes that build the purine ring. Each enzyme includes several monomers because it is oligomeric.
  • The reaction does not release the intermediate products that are created. They are instead transported to the next enzyme in the process.
  • The biosynthesis process in the human body can provide the body's need for purine in metabolic processes. Clinical symptoms might become unpleasant if purine synthesis is inadequate or if biosynthetic routes are aberrant.
