Answer:
c: the use of energy released from an exergonic reaction to drive an endergonic reaction.
Explanation:
<em>Energy coupling is a process involving two reactions whereby one of the reactions generate energy, and the generated energy is used to drive the other reaction. </em>
A reaction during which energy is generated is referred to as exergonic reaction while one in which energy is consumed is known as endergonic reaction. Hence, energy coupling can also be viewed as a process linking exergonic and endergonic reactions whereby the energy released in the former is used up by the latter.
A good example is illustrated by the light dependent and light independent reactions of photosynthesis during which the ATP and NADPH produced during the light dependent reaction is used to fix carbon dioxide in the light independent reaction.
<em>The correct answer is C.</em>
Answer and Explanation:
There are various processes that are part of the water cycle:
- Precipitation: any kind of product that falls from the clouds
- Condensation: when a gas turns into a liquid
- Evaporation: when a liquid turns into a gas
- Transpiration: the evaporation of water from plants' leaves
- Runoff: the water that drains down from a source

Answer:
Pangenesis
Explanation:
The theory of 'pangenesis' was proposed by Darwin to explain the process of inheritance of genetic traits from one generation to next. According to this theory, gemmules are the tiny particles produced by all the somatic cells of the body of living beings. These gemmules are also called pangene. Blood carries gemmules from all the body cells to the gonads. These gemmules from all the somatic cells form germ cells in gonads.
The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
A. Gram-negative bacilli cannot cause harm to the cell; only Gram-positive bacilli can harm the cell.
B. Gram-negative bacilli release endotoxins that cause cell injury and increased capillary permeability.
C. Gram-negative bacilli excrete elaborate exotoxins that interfere with cellular production of ATP.
D. Gram-negative bacilli enter the cell and disrupt its ability to replicate.
Answer:
B. Gram-negative bacilli release endotoxins that cause cell injury and increased capillary permeability.
Explanation:
Gram-negative bacteria are pathogenic in nature due to the composition of their cell wall. Their cell wall contains an additional layer of a molecule called lipopolysaccharides or LPS.
The LPS layer is toxic in nature and is known as endotoxin and is involved in the pathogenicity of the bacteria as the toxin causes the injury to the Endothelial cell membrane of the host cell.
When the bacteria cell is lysed and the LPS circulates in the blood, then LPS binds the receptors and acts on CD14. This attracts the neutrophils at the site and can cause vascular injury due to increased capillary permeability.
Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
