What did Chargaff discover while studying bases in the DNA of organisms?

Biology
1 answer:
mixer [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The ratios of thymine and adenine were similar, as were the ratios of guanine and cytosine.

Explanation:

Chargaff's Rule:

  • Erwin Chargaff, an Austrian chemist investigated the amount of the four nitrogenous bases in a sample of DNA.
  • Chargaff observed that the purines and pyrimidines existed in a 1:1 ratio. The concentration of thymine was equal to that of adenine. Moreover, the concentration of cytosine was equal to that of guanine.
  • On the basis of the ratios, Chargaff proposed that, in DNA, adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) always pairs with guanine (G).

Where do electrons get their energy in photosystem I?
tino4ka555 [31]
That would be B. From energy in photons.

Photons(from sunlight) give energy to electrons and “excite” them(sending them to a higher energy level). Electrons can then release this energy and excite other electrons in other chlorophyll molecules.

What is the main difference between active and passive transport ​
alex41 [277]
Active transport moves molecules and ions from lower concentration to higher concentration with the help of energy in the form of ATP & passive transport moves molecules and ions from a higher concentration to lower concentration without any energy.

Pancreatic β cells release insulin from intracellular vesicles. This release is regulated in part by the activity of glucokinase
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Beta cells (β cells) are a type of cell found in pancreatic islets, synthesising and secreting insulin and amylin. Beta-cell mass and function diminish in patients with type I or type II diabetes, resulting in inadequate insulin secretion and hyperglycemia.

If hexokinase was expressed rather than glucokinase, the release of insulin from pancreatic β cells would be constant, and changes in serum glucose would not affect the expression of insuline.
