<u>Answer:</u>

The main function of the ozone layer is to block most of the sun's damaging rays from reaching Earth.

Option: (b)

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The stratosphere containing high level of ozone molecules about 30 km to 50 km altitude helps to absorb the sun's ultra violate rays.
  • In its absence, it would be very difficult for anything to survive. Plants cannot live and grow as the UV light causes weakening of plants.
  • It causes skin cancers. The increase in UV flux will lead to increase in sunburn, blindness, cataract, causing potentially death of animals and plants.

How many high-phosphoryl-transfer-potential molecules are required to synthesize phosphatidylethanolamine from ethanolamine and
valkas [14]

Answer: 3(three)

Explanation:

In the biosynthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine from ethanolamine and triglyceride, 3 high energy molecules are used in the first and second step.

The first steps occur in the cytosol, where ethanolamine is phosphorlated with ATP to give phosphoethanolamine and ADP by the enzyme ethanolamine kinases, and in the next reaction which is the rate-limiting step, phosphoethanolamine react with cytidine triphosphate (CTP) to form cytidine diphosphoethanolamine. In this reaction two molecules of phosphate group is given off.

The third step occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum CDP-ethanolamine react with diacylglycerol to form phosphatidylethanolamine.

The answer is Three high energy molecules. One molecule of ATP to form phosphorylethanolamine and two molecules of ATP to regenerate CTP from CMP.
