The given blank can be filled with exergonic reaction.  

An exergonic reaction demonstrates a reaction where energy is discharged. As the reactants lose energy, the Gibbs free energy is negative under constant pressure and temperature.  

An exergonic reaction, as mentioned in the given case and another process like cellular respiration refers to a reaction, which loses energy during the process of the reaction. An exergonic process is one in which there is a positive flow of energy taking place from the system to the surrounding.

The wood in a matchstick is made of cellulose, a polymer of glucose molecules. When you light the matchstick, heat and light are given off, indicating that an exothermic reaction is occurring.

There are two types of reactions:

1. Exothermic reactions: In these reactions, the reactants combine to form product and heat is liberated. Example, burning of fuel.

2.Endothermic reactions: In these reactions, the reactants combine to form product and heat gets absorbed from the surroundings. Example, photosynthesis in plants where the energy of the Sun gets absorbed.

Post-transcriptional regulation includes all of the following mechanisms EXCEPT:RNA interference - anti-mRNA sequences bind to m
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

D) presence of transcription activators or repressors

Explanation:

The reason why this is not post-transcriptional regulation is that activators actually start the process of transcription by binding to specific sites. while on contrary when repressor binds it halt the process.

For example, there is a protein called CAP which in the presence of cAMP bind with promoter region and enhances the activity of RNA polymerase . While in the absence of cAMP it can not bind to promoter hence the transcription stooped.

What is an analogy for chloroplast in a school?
Vaselesa [24]
Since chloroplast use energy to make food for plant cells (Photosynthesis) I could compare it to lunch money, and how you have to keep refilling up, and up, just to use it again for food, for yourself.
