A new experimental pesticide is being tested by a large agricultural chemical company. An unfortunate side effect in plants trea

ted with this new product is a decrease in ATP production in the chloroplasts. (Interestingly, production of ATP in the mitochondria is unaffected.) Given this observation, which of the following would you expect to be DIRECTLY affected by the new pesticide?A. The synthesis of triose phosphates from 3-phosphoglycerateB. the transport of electrons along the photosynthetic electron transport chainC. the carboxylation of RuBP by rubiscoD. The oxidation of RuBP by rubisco

Answer:

A. The synthesis of triose phosphates from 3-phosphoglycerate

Explanation:

ATP and NADPH are produced during light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis in chloroplasts. These molecules serve as an energy source and reducing power respectively during the Calvin cycle. Calvin cycle includes fixation of carbon into 3-PGA followed by reduction of 3-PGA into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (a triose phosphate).

The reduction step also uses NADPH as an electron donor. Two molecules of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate make one molecule of glucose. A reduced ATP production during light-dependent reactions in chloroplast would not allow the reduction of 3-PGA into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. Without the formation of triose phosphate, glucose synthesis will also reduce.

As an aspiring undergraduate researcher, you want to identify the gene responsible for bacterial virulence of your favorite path
Marianna [84]

Answer:

When directed mutagenesis which is also called reverse genetics is used, only a single mutation per genome is introduced. In contrast, the number of mutations per genome introduced by random mutagenesis is usually difficult to control. It is likely that the strain you obtained with a mutation in gene X after random mutagenesis contained an additional mutation or perhaps multiple mutations which ultimately was/were responsible for loss of virulence in your favorite pathogen.

Help!!!! Can anyone answer this lab questions below about mitosis!!!!
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Mitosis is a division of a eukaryotic cell in which the chromosomes are evenly distributed among the daughter cells.  

In multicellular organisms, both sexual and asexual reproduction is followed by cell division, which ensures the growth and development of the organism. In addition, cell division is necessary to replace dead cells and repair injuries. New cells are constantly being added and old ones are being destroyed. About a hundred thousand more cells are created every second, and of course the same number dies. The new cells start with the division of the source cell. The cells formed in this way are called daughter cells. Stem cells can gradually divide into all the different cells in the body through mitosis.

Most of the body's cells are constantly renewed by mitosis, but there are also so-called irreplaceable cells that are formed only once in a lifetime for the life of the organism and do not regenerate by mitosis.

Describe skin cells and their function
Flauer [41]
Skin serves as a protective barrier, a way to sense the world, and a layer that keeps nutrients and water inside the body. Four types of cells make up the skin, and they are produced mainly in the epidermis near the basement membrane.
