Scientist have inserted a gene that codes for a protein that codes for immunity from a common pesticide (a chemical that kills c

ommonly problematic invertebrates) into a population of grasshoppers. The gene was initially found in some pesticide resistant cockroaches and was then inserted into the grasshopper population. Which of the statements below best explains the impact of inserting the gene for pesticide immunity into the grasshopper population? Group of answer choices The population of grasshoppers will be able to be sprayed with the pesticide and remain unaffected. The grasshoppers will learn to feed in areas where no pesticides are being used. The grasshopper population will be more likely to survive a drought. The grasshoppers will use more energy to resist the pesticide which will cause a decline in their population.

Answer:

A. The population of grasshoppers will be able to be sprayed with the pesticide and remain unaffected.

Explanation:

As mentioned in the question statement, scientist inserted a gene in a grasshopper population that encodes for immunity against a pesticide. Therefore, the grasshopper population would be able to survive well despite the pesticide is being sprayed. Principally, pesticide spray can kill the invertebrates such as grasshoppers. However, when the grasshopper has a gene that encodes for a protein that gives immunity against the pesticide, the effect of spray will be minimized. They will produce the immunity protein and this protein will help them survive in toxic conditions.

Other options are incorrect because:

  • There is no need of training the grasshoppers to learn how to feed in areas where no pesticides are being used. In fact, insertion of gene that encodes for immunity would not help the grasshoper to get trained against the pesticide, rather, it will help providing immunity directly in the presence of pesticide.
  • The gene provides immunity and has nothing to do against drought.
  • It is not mentioned anywhere that gene is responsible for energy production and resistence against pesticide. Rather it is a gene that produces an immunity related protein.

. In which phase of cellular respiration is glucose a substrate?​
vodka [1.7K]

Explanation:

During glycolysis, enzymes act on the substrate, glucose. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm; here, 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates,  4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules.

Further Explanation:

In all eukaryotic cells mitochondria are small cellular organelles bound by membranes, these make most of the chemical energy required for powering the biochemical reactions within the cell. This chemical energy is stored within the molecule ATP which is produced. Respiration in the mitochondria utilizes oxygen for the production of ATP in the Krebs’ or Citric acid cycle via the oxidization of pyruvate( through the process of glycolysis in the cytoplasm).

overall: C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≈38 ATP

Oxidative phosphorylation describes a process in which the NADH and FADH2 made in previous steps of respiration process give up electrons in the electron transport chain these are converted it to their previous forms, NADH+ and FAD. Electrons continue to move down the chain the energy they release is used in pumping protons out of the matrix of the mitochondria.

This forms a gradient where there is a differential in the number of protons on either side of the membrane the protons flow or re-enter the matrix through the enzyme ATP synthase, which makes the energy storage molecules of ATP from the reduction of ADP.  At the end of the electron transport, three molecules of oxygen accept electrons and protons to form molecules of water...

  • Glycolysis: occurs in the cytoplasm 2 molecules of ATP are used to cleave glucose into 2 pyruvates,  4 ATP and 2 electron carrying NADH molecules.
  • The Kreb's cycle: in the mitochondrial matrix- 6 molecules of CO2 are produced by combining oxygen and the carbon within pyruvate,  2 ATP oxygen molecules, 8 NADH and 2 FADH2.
  • The electron transport chain, ETC: in the inner mitochondrial membrane, 34 ATP, electrons combine with H+ split from 10 NADH, 4 FADH2,  renewing the number of electron acceptors and 3 oxygen; this forms 6 H2O, 10 NAD+, 4 FAD.

Why do you think the ecological footprint of bangladesh is so small why is it so large for people in the united states?
EleoNora [17]

The ecological footprint of the average people of Bangladesh  is 0.5 global hectares per person which much less than  average of the world ( 2.84 global hectares per capita ) .it indicates that a low purchasing power of Bangladesh . less consumption means less production .also there are few industries in Bangladesh. This is the reason the ecological footprint of Bangladesh is so small .

The United states ecological footprint is larger than that of other countries because per capita consumption of energy and a wide range of goods of all kinds is greater . wastes ,including carbon dioxide ,are greater as ell , adding to the relative size of the footprint . this is the reason the ecological footprint of the people of United states is large .

Hence ,the ecological footprint of Bangladesh  is so small and the ecological footprint of United states is so large .

<h3>What is ecological footprint ?</h3>

The ecological footprint is a method promoted by the global footprint network to measure human demand on natural capital , i.e. the quantity of nature it takes  to support people or an economy .

It tracks this demand through an ecological accounting system .

The ecological footprint is the only metric that measures how much nature and how much nature we use .The footprint helps : countries to improve sustainability and well-being , local leaders to optimize public project investments , individuals to understand their impact on the planet.
