Answer:

D. Diffusion

Explanation:

Cyanide is a toxic substance which can poison the metabolic reactions of the organisms. The cyanide act during cellular respiration especially during the electron transport chain by blocking the transfer of an electron to the oxygen. This transfer of oxygen is blocked as cyanide binds to the complex IV subunits. This stops the generation of the ATP molecules and thus cells die.

If the ATP will not be produced than the physiological responses in the cell which involves the ATP will get blocked like the movement in the cell, of the cell, the process of cell division and the transport which utilizes the ATP.

Since diffusion is a process which does not uses the ATP, therefore, it will be least affected by the cyanide.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.

Answer:

D. Diffusion

Explanation:

The process of diffuse transports the substances in the direction of their concentration gradients. Diffusion of substance from the region of their higher to that of the lower concentration does not require any energy. Being a passive process, diffusion can be carried out by a cell irrespective of the status of its ATP supply. Therefore, an animal cell containing a small amount of cyanide can transport substances by diffusion.

How can isolation of a group result in a new species?
pogonyaev
Species evolve over time based on their environment.

If part of a group of a species gets isolated into a new environment, then both species (the initial environment and the new one) will evolve differently because of their different environments and in result become different.

So since they both evolve differently based on their different surroundings, the group that was isolated becomes a new species.

Eukaryotic cells. Classify each statement according to whether it occurs in eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells, or both.
frutty [35]

Answer:

<u>Both</u>:

  • The start codon is often AUG

<u>Eukaryotic cell only:</u>

  • The larger subunit of the ribosome is 60s.
  • The ribosomes initially binds the 5' end of mRNA.

<u>Prokaryotic cell only</u>:

  • The ribosome is 70s
  • Translation occurs in the cytoplasm
  • There are multiple ribosome binding site

Explanation:

  • AUG is the common start codon for both eukaryotic as well prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotic cell, it codes for methionine . While in prokaryotic cell, it codes for formyl methionine.
  • In prokaryotic cell, ribosomes are found in cytoplasm, hence the translation occurs in cytoplasm.
  • Eukaryotic ribosome consists of two subunits; 40s and 60s(larger subunit)
  • Prokaryotic ribosomes have 70s ribososme, which consists of 50s and 20s subuints
  • in eukaryotic cell, 40s ribosome initially binds to the cap at the 5' end of mRNA.
  • Bacterial mRNA contain multiple ribosome binding sites.

tick one box please--- why did the students put the test tube in the water bath at 20° for 10 mins ???
Nina [5.8K]
Using the given information, the most suitable choice would be the third option. This is because the students are trying to see the effect of temperature on aerobic respiration in earthworms, making this choice the most suitable. Hope this helps!

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

They have more bonds (ionic, vdW, polar, peptide, hydrogen) and a thicker phospholipid bilayer than their similarly-structured heat-intolerant counterparts-DNA - two bonds between adenine and thymine, three bonds between cytosine and guanine, MORE C-G PAIRINGS2.
