Answer:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy => 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Explanation:

Start with the skeleton equation:

CO₂ + H₂O + light energy => O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

If you forget, think about what a plant needs to survive: water and air, except they use our "waste" air, carbon dioxide. Trees make oxygen, as do other plants. Plants make their own food, glucose.

Count the number of atoms in the skeleton equation

CO₂ + H₂O + light => O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Reactants                                       Products

C 1                                                    C 6

H 2                                                   H 12

O 3                                                   O 8

It is obvious we need to add a few coefficients to the reactant side because there are significantly fewer atoms. This becomes more of a trial and error process. Remember to keep track of the atoms each time you change coefficients.

I would start by making the carbon and hydrogen atoms even.

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light => O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Reactants                                       Products

C 6                                                    C 6

H 12                                                   H 12

O 18                                                   O 8

Now there are not enough oxygen atoms in the products. Change the coefficient in the diatomic O2 instead of glucose because the other elements are balanced.

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light=> 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Reactants                                       Products

C 6                                                    C 6

H 12                                                   H 12

O 18                                                   O 18

Since the number of each atom in the reactants and products are even, the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis is:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy => 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

with reference to the role of oncogenes, explain how the normal controls over the cell cycle can be lost.
Katena32 [7]
<span>#1) With reference to the role of oncogenes, explain how the normal controls over the cell cycle can be lost.

Answer: The way that cell cycle can be lost is by going through changes in the activity of cell cycle regulators. Cancer causes different types of mutations. There are two types of cell cycle regulators that can promote the development of cancer:

-Positive Regulators that can be over activated (become oncogenic).
-Negative Regulators (tumor suppressors) which can be inactivated.

I hope it helps, Regards. <span /><span>

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Primers should be:

3 'ACGTATGTCGCTTAGT 5'

5 'ACGTTCCAGTCAATGA 3'

Explanation:

DNA replication occurs with the need for the presence of primers that are a small sequence of nitrogenous bases that will allow the initiation of replication.

Primers are extremely important in PCR and are represented as small pieces of single-stranded DNA that specify the region of DNA that should be replicated during PCR. These primers attach to the single strand of DNA by pairing the nitrogenous bases allowing the DNA polymerase to recognize where replication begins.

Regarding the question above, the primers should be:

3 'ACGTATGTCGCTTAGT 5'

5 'ACGTTCCAGTCAATGA 3'
