Phillip was performing a laboratory exercise on how temperature affects a plant's cellular activity. He discovered that when exp

osed to high temperatures (around 50 degrees Celsius), the overall rate of glucose production by photosynthesis decreased. Which of these conclusions would BEST explain why this occurred? A) The high temperatures denature the proteins in the plasma membrane, thus making many of the cells unable to function properly. B) The higher temperatures hardened the plasma membrane not allowing glucose to leave the cell. C) The temperature decreased the availability of oxygen to the plant. D) As you increase the temperature, the plant cells go dormant. Elimi

Answer:

A) The high temperatures denature the proteins in the plasma membrane, thus making many of the cells unable to function properly.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis like other biochemical processes performs best in an ain optimum range of temperature.  It is observed that, in the presence of sufficient carbon dioxide (CO₂) and light, the rate of photosynthesis increases with increase in temperatures up to the optimum level ( 20⁰C to 30⁰C). Increase in temperature beyond the optimum levels, the enzymes(proteins) become inactive or destroyed thus, stopping of photosynthetic reactions which are catalysed by enzymes.

A.  If the optimum temperature for a cell's functions is exceeded, chemical reactions slow down as enzymes and other proteins begin to denature (change shape due to increased vibration of the atoms in the molecules that make up the proteins).

Describe, in detail, to a freshman undergraduate student the basic principle underlying the separation of dna using agarose gel
Luden [163]

Definition

              A technique which is used to separate, DNA, RNA or protein pieces from each other under the influence of electric field on the basis of their molecular size is known as gel electrophoresis.

Explanation

                  This method is very reliable for separation of large size molecule (over 1 million Da).  Materials which are required for gel electrophoresis include:

1. TAE stock buffer

2. 1% agrose gel

3. Nucleic acid loading dye

4. Ethidium bromide


Procedure:

                 First prepare a stock solution of TAE buffer by adding appropriate amount of TAE in distilled water. then prepare 1% agrose by adding 1X TAE, some amount of agrose in water and heating it in microwve oven to mix them will. then pour agrose gel on tray and fix comb in it and keep it untill agrose dry. Then remove comb and pour some quantity of nucleic acid along with loading dye and ethidium bromide in each well. EtBr is used for staining nucleic acid.

When sample is poured in all well also pour  reference marker in one well for comparison. now connect it with voltage for 30-35 min. After this take gel and see it under UV. a large number of nucleic acid pieces will be seen on gel under UV. those pieces which have small molecular weight will cover more distance compared to those having larger molecular weight.

Plants have structures which affect reproduction rates in plants.<br> A. True<br> B. False
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

True?

Explanation:

maybe I think true since different types of plants have different structures and because of the structures maybe a plant can reproduce like for a long time later and another plant can have a different structure and reproduce faster. I’m just 11
