If green algae cells in a buffer solution containing only inorganic salts are placed in a sealed container at room temperature w

ith excess carbon dioxide gas and exposed to light, the cells will:(A) live for many hours and multiply.(B) live for several hours, but fail to multiply because there is no source of carbon in the buffer solution.(C) live for several hours, but fail to multiply because no oxygen is present.(D) die rapidly, because no oxygen is present.

Answer:

(A) live for many hours and multiply.

Green algae will undergo <u>oxygenetic photosynthesis (</u>non-cyclic photosynthesis oxygen by-product )  under this condition in  their <u>Cytoplasm  </u>instead of <u>chloroplasts in plants,</u> and  instead of anooxygenic photosynthesis(without oxygen by-product) of  bacteria.

They absorb light through <u>accessory pigments </u>and pass  this to <u>chlorophyll a and b. </u>The Carbon atom in this process is from inorganic salts <u>H2CO3-, </u>and  which react to form  <u>C02. </u>The latter  diffuses into the algae for the process of photosynthesis.

Naturally this oxygenic photosynthesis is important to algae because  it helps to suppress photo-oxidation.This is because the production of C02  from the inorganic salt, inhibits the activities of Ribulose Biphospate(RuBP), thereby preventing photo-oxodation from taken place.

In addition, the ability of this organism to raise the C02 concentration level close to the level of enzyme Rubisco by concentrating levels of inorganic carbon than the environmental  C02 of the atmosphere, ensures constant supply of C02 for photosynthesis.  This  carbon (from inorganic salt) is rarely limiting  therefore  improving the efficiency of this photosynthetic  process.

Thus, the organism undergoes photosynthesis to produce glucose with oxygen as the by-product in the usual green plant fashion .

Which could be a pathway of food through an ecosystem?​
algol13

Answer:

Sun > Grass > Deer > Lion

Explanation:

The sun begins a food chain because its light is needed for a plant, in this case grass, to grow.

An animal that eats grass is the deer, who is a primary consumer.

An animal that eats deer is the lion, who is a tertiary consumer in this case.

The lion has no natural predator, and thus is at the top of this food chain.

This ecosystem can be one found where grass, deer and lions exist, for example, the deciduous forest in the eastern United States.

At one time, Chondrichthyes were thought to have diverged from other vertebrates before the evolution of bone. Now we have concl
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - Characteristics can be lost in evolution.

Explanation:

The new evidence helps in developing a new hypothesis. In this case, new evidence proved that the Chondrichthyes diverged after the evolution of bone had started instead of before the evolution started. This process called atavism where an ancestral genetic trait reappears after having lost. This leads to loss of the traits in the evolution

This can take place by knocking the mutation out to overriding the gene by the old gene or overriding the new trait by the old trait during the evolution period.

Which antibiotic was not effective against E. coli? neomycin, penicillin, erythromycin, ampicillin
qaws [65]

The antibiotic called ampicillin was not effective against E.coli.

Answer: D

Explanation:

E.coli is normal microbial flora which is present in the gut of the mammals.

It is gram negative bacteria and very few strains of this bacteria causes harm.

Antibiotics are the chemical drugs which are used to treat the microbial infection either by killing the causative organism or by its growth inhibition.

Antibiotics such as neomycin, penicillin and erythromycin are usually used to treat E.coli infection.

Antibiotic such as Ampicillin is not used as the bacterium E.coli is highly resistant to it.
