Phillip was performing a laboratory exercise on how temperature affects a plant's cellular activity. He discovered that when exp

osed to high temperatures (around 50 degrees Celsius), the overall rate of glucose production by photosynthesis decreased.
Which of these conclusions would BEST explain why this occurred?

Hello
We know that biological processes are carried out by organic catalysts known as enzymes. Enzymes are protein molecules that operate over a range of conditions, and a specific set of those conditions are ideal for them. However, in most organisms that are not adapted to withstand high temperatures, the enzymes cannot operate beyond 50 degrees Celsius. This is because their structure starts to deform due to the breakage of bonds within the molecule. The break down is cause by the energy supplied in the form of temperature. An enzyme's structure is essential for it to carry out its task and is made specifically for the molecule it is to act on, the substrate. If the structure is deformed, the enzyme cannot carry out its function. Therefore, the enzymes producing glucose denature and glucose production decreases.

A gene on a chromosome lies close to another gene controlling a different trait. This indicates that the genes are _. The first
umka2103 [35]

My guess:

I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say that the answer to the first one is "strongly linked". Think of a chromosome as a phylogenic chart → 2 species that are beside each other are strongly linked, if compared to 2 species 3 spots apart form each other. So, 2 genes that are close to each other are strongly linked.

I do not know the options to the blanks, but I'd say the answer to the second one is epistasis → which is the interaction between two different genes (different means they're not linked alleles).

Hope it helped,

Answer:

Minerals can form in all geological environments, which allows them to have a wide range of chemical and physical conditions. Two forms of this are temperature and pressure. There are 4 main categories of mineral formations.   Igneous is where the minerals crystalize from a melt. Sedimentary is where the raw materials of the mineral are particles from other rocks that have suffered from erosion and weathering. Metamorphic is where new minerals are created from earlier ones owing to the effects of change. Most of the time it's from increasing temperature and/or pressure. Hydrothermal is where the minerals are chemically precipitated from hot solutions in the earth.

Compare a diploid and haploid cell
raketka [301]
The main difference between haploid and diploid cells is the number of chromosome sets found in the nucleus. Diploid cells have two sets while haploid cells only contain one set.

<u>Answer</u>: Weber's/Weber-Fechner's law of just noticeable difference

This phychologoical law is used to quantify the perception of change for a given stimulus. The perceived change is proportional/constant ratio to the initial stimulus. Thus, it is the minimum amount of a stimulus intensity change that will produce noticeable variation in sensory experience.

As in the example, it has been shown that this law is not function very well for extremes of stimulation.
