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).

What are two different forms of a single gene called?
sleet_krkn [62]
<span>Alleles are two different forms of single gene that are located in specific position on a specific chromosome. It can be classified into two allele pairs: homozygous and heterozygous. In homozygous, both alleles are the same whether they are both dominant or recessive; while in heterozygous, one allele is dominant and the other is recessive.</span>

How does a virus cause disease?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Viruses are like hijackers. They invade living, normal cells and use those cells to multiply and produce other viruses like themselves. This can kill, damage, or change the cells and make you sick. Different viruses attack certain cells in your body such as your liver, respiratory system, or blood.

Explanation:

Viruses tend to target specific tissues (cells) in the host.

For example, the influenza virus has a predilection for the respiratory tract, hepatitis viruses target the liver, polio virus targets the motor neurons of the spinal cord and rotavirus multiplies in the gut. Symptoms of a viral infection may be subtle and nonspecific or specific and suggestive of the causative agent.

Dengue virus, Ross river virus, measles and rubella infections are associated with fever and a widespread red rash, chicken pox and herpes simplex viruses are associated with blistering, often localized, rashes; and hepatitis viruses cause liver damage and jaundice.

Bacteria tend to be less tissue-specific and non-discriminatory than viruses and can cause a variety of infections once they have invaded the host.

These bacterial infections are often manifested by the presence of pus wherever the bacteria settle, and systemic symptoms such as fevers, chills, pain, swelling and loss of function occur when bacteria invade and multiply.

A drought causes a wildfire which destroys a forest. Which Earth systems interact during this process? (1 point) Select one: a.
Ne4ueva [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>It is the biosphere and hydrosphere that interact when a drought causes a wildfire that destroys a forest. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hydrosphere consists of all the water bodies of earth like oceans, seas, rivers, lakes etc.  a drought occurs due to scarcity of water which affects the hydrosphere. The scarcity of water causes plants and trees to dry up and become more prone to catching fire

Biosphere includes all the living organisms of the earth. It includes plants, trees, birds, insects, animals etc. A drought dries up a whole area and a small fire that starts up somewhere in  a forest would then engulf the whole forest.
