CAM plants function using crassulacean acid metabolism. Like C4 plants, CAM plants provide preparatory step for the Calvin cycle

. CAM plants are found in hot, dry environments; to prevent desiccation, they keep their stomata closed during the day. They take in carbon dioxide at night while stomata are open. To increase the concentration of carbon dioxide available to the enzyme rubisco and minimize the degree of photorespiration, the CAM plants carboxylate ________.

Answer: ORGANIC ACIDS  

Explanation:

CAM PLANTS CARBOXYLATE ORGANICS ACIDS through the addition of  CO2 to PEP Carboxylase(  a phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase enzyme present in the mesophyll cells of the cytoplasm in a green plant) to produce Oxaloacetate (organic compound).

CO2 + PEP  ⇒ C4H4O5 (oxaloacetate)

Oxaloacetate is then converted to a similar molecule, Malate (C4H6O5,  another form of organic compound) that can be transported in to the bundle-sheath cells. Malate enters the plasmodesmata and releases the CO2. The CO2 then fixed by rubisco and made into sugars via the Calvin cycle.

What’s 25mg in grams
Aliun [14]

1 gram = 1000 mg

=>

1 mg = 1/1000 g

25 mg = 25* (1/1000) g = 25/1000 g = 0.025g

What is the diameter of the coin to the nearest
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Explanation:

Diameter in the coin is the distance from side to side.

The numbers in the ruler are showing the centimeters. Each line is a subdivision in ten parts between centimeter and centimeter (Each line is equal to 1mm).

As you can see in the ruler, in the edge of the coin, the ruler is showing 3.8cm

As 1cm = 10mm:

3.8cm * (10mm / 1cm) =

38mm is the diameter of the coin to the nearest milimeter

Using relative E values determine which of the following reactions are electrically possible.
ki77a [65]

You should have given us a table, but I think my table shouldn't be too different.

Let's put oxidation numbers first.

Mg^{0}(s)+Br_2^{0}(l) --> Mg^{+2}Br_2^{-2}(?)

You would have to know that Mg(s) is a reducing agent and Br2(l) is an oxidizing agent. But it is pretty common knowledge that the halogens will tend to take the electrons and alkali and alkaline earth metals will tend to give up electrons.

Mg is oxidized because it gives up electrons; Br2(l) is reduced because it gains electrons. Since the reaction conforms to what we would expect to <em>naturally</em> (thermodynamically favored) occur, it can take place given that the activation energy is supplied.
