The adjective that comes from a verb form is the word crashing.
It comes from the verb <em>to crash + -ing, </em>thus it is a participle used as an adjective in this sentence.
The main variables which affect photosynthesis are light, water, CO2 concentration and temperature.
On a deeper level, other factors like amount of chlorophyll, availability of nutrients (eg Mg is needed for chlorophyll synthesis) will also affect the rate of photosynthesis, though these are rarely covered in discussion of this topic.
The thing is that photosynthesis will be held back by whichever factor is in shortest supply.
As I sit in my study in England, the sun is shining brightly, but the temperature outside is only 5ºC. I suspect the rate of photosynthesis is limited by temperature today.
Yesterday was a dull day, but in the middle of the day it was not cold and I suspect there wasn't enough light for photosynthesis. If I had turned the security lights on my house on, the plants in my garden might (possibly) have photosynthesised faster.
In summer, some farmers growing crops in glasshouses actually increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air as all their plants have plenty of water and light and the temperature is near the best possible for photosynthesis.
A good way to investigate this might be with the help of algae and you can use the 'Immobilised Algae' practical for this.
Although water is needed as a raw material for photosynthesis, don't bother trying to investigate water as a variable - plants normally wilt and wither long before water restricts photosynthesis at the biochemical level. They need water to support the plant to face the sun as well as a raw material of photosynthesis.
The simplest equation for photosynthesis:-
Carbon dioxide + water -----(in light, with chlorophyll and enzymes)----> sugar + oxygen
Temperature speeds up all chemical reactions - photosynthesis is no exception.
Enzymes work better in warm conditions (up to about 50ºC when enzymes start to be destroyed by heat).
The idea to get across is that different conditions will be most important on different occasions. This morning, my garden could do with more warmth - yesterday, it could do with more light / sun!
The appropriate answer is a. the conversion of radiant energy to chemical energy. Plants use light from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose. An important bi-product of this reaction is oxygen which is vital to all life on earth. When humans consume glucose and do work they are converting chemical energy into heat energy and mechanical energy.
I believe the increase in blood pressure is limited by the Vasodialtion that causes arterial diameter to increase in the exercising skeletal muscle.
Vasodilation causes increase in blood flow due to decrease in vascular resistance. The resistance produced mainly in the arterioles which is known as the systemic vascular resistance or the peripheral vascular resistance. The cardiac output is the function of heart rate and stroke volume and must be always on check.<span />
Answer:
G1 phase cell cycle arrest and apoptosis
Explanation:
According to Yan and colleagues 2009 article, cells that were transfected with microRNA-1/206 showed cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and showed an increase in apoptosis (programmed cell death) which is important for synthesis of mRNA and protein. These processes have a direct effect on cell proliferation by decreasing it.
