Bacteriorhodopsin pumps protons across the bacterial plasma membrane from the cytosolic side to the extracellular side of the me

mbrane in a series of steps. Choose the step that correctly describe a step used to pump protons across the membrane.A. A proton is transferred from excited retinal to the Asp96 side chain. B. The chromaphore retinal absorbs a photon of light, causing a double bond in retinal to isomerize from trans to cis configuration. C. A proton from Asp96 on the cytosolic side of the protein is used to regenerate retinal.D. A proton from the cytosol side is transferred along multiple water molecules to Asp85.

Answer: Option B.

B. The chromaphore retinal absorbs a photon of light, causing a double bond in retinal to isomerize from trans to cis configuration.

Explanation:

Bacteriorhodopsin is a protein used by archaea or half bacteria that pumps proton across membrane by using the light energy from sun to move protons across membrane. It is found in purple membrane of archaea cells which is known as two dimensional crystalline patches.

It captures photon energy through chromophore retina which is covalently bound and transporting the photons against their electrochemical gradients from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space.

If someone who is homozygous for an autosomal recessive disorder mates with a person who does
slamgirl [31]

They have a zero percent chance of developing the disease

All the offspring will be carriers of the mutated gene but none of them will show any phenotype associated with the recessive allele. This is because they all will have the dominant allele that will mask the effects of the recessive allele of the gene.

Explanation:

Autosomal means that the allele is not on the X or Y sex chromosomes hence it is not a sex-linked gene. Male and female offspring have equal chances of acquiring the allele of the genes.  

Let us assume that the dominant allele is coded by B while that of the recessive is coded by b. The <em>attached</em> Punnet square will show the Mendelian  inheritance based on the information from the question.

Therefore, all the offspring will be carriers of the mutated gene but none of them will show any characteristics of the disorder (phenotype) associated with the recessive allele. This is because they will all have the dominant allele that will mask the effects of the recessive allele of the gene.

Eutrophication can cause excess algae growth. Which of the following describes how nutrients contribute to eutrophication?
dusya [7]

Eutrophication of water bodies like lake, pond, shallow stretches of river, etc. is the phenomenon where excess growth of vegetation on the surface of the water takes place. This excess growth results in the clouding of the water, depletion of dissolved oxygen in water, and the death of aquatic organisms. The primary reason for the cause of eutrophication is the presence of nutrients in excess amounts in the water. The nutrients B. come from fertilizer and sewage runoff.

Anna71 [15]
<span>A gradual change in phenotype over a geographical area is called a cline (or clinal variation).</span>
 A cline is gradual phenotypic (and/or genetic) differences over a geographical area. It usually happens as a result of the change of allele frequencies within the gene pool.
