Answer:

a."Alkylating agents are toxic to tissues that have rapidly dividing cells."

Explanation:

In the given example the patient is about to begin chemotherapy with a bifunctional alkylating agent.

when the two dna strands are cross linked they will not separate for dna replication which will halt the cell division process so rapidly dividing cells will stop dividing and die

Moreover,Chemotherapeutic agents, also known as antineoplastic agents, are used to prevent the growth of fast-growing cells, usually in the sense of malignancy, directly or indirectly.

Therefore, Chemotherapeutic agents are Alkylating agents that are toxic to tissues that have rapidly dividing cells

So, this statement by student indicates an understanding of his chemotherapeutic agent.

The photosynthetic pigments bacteriorhodopsin and proteorhodopsin are present in ________ and ________, respectively. The photos
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

A. Archaea / Bacteria

Explanation:

Bacteriorhodopsin is a protein used by Archaea, most notably by halobacteria, a class of the Euryarchaeota. It acts as a proton pump; that is, it captures light energy and uses it to move protons across the membrane out of the cell

Bacteriorhodopsin is an integral membrane protein usually found in two-dimensional crystalline patches known as "purple membrane", which can occupy up to nearly 50% of the surface area of the archaeal cell.

Proteorhodopsin also known as pRhodopsinbis a family of over 50 photoactive retinylidene proteins, a larger family of transmembrane proteins that use retinal as a chromophore for light-mediated functionality, in this case, a proton pump
