Answer:

The concentration of chemical auto inducers increases with increase in population density

Explanation:

There is something known as Quorum sensing which is a sort of cellular communication in bacteria established through chemical signals. A bacterium is enabled to observe/monitor the environment and thus produce a widespread change in the species with in a community. These sensing processes are effective only when large numbers of cells are doing sensing controlled process together. A bacteria releases auto-inducers whose concentration increases when the population density of cells increase.

"When autoinducers produced by one bacterium cross the membrane of another, they bind to receptors in the cytoplasm. This autoinducer/receptor complex is then able to bind to DNA promoters and activate the transcription of quorum sensing-controlled genes. In this way, individual bacteria within a group are able to benefit from the activity of the entire group."

If a TRNA had a AGC anticodon it could attach a

Contact [7]

A transference RNA (tRNA) is an adapter molecule that decodes a codon messenger RNA (mRNA) during the synthesis of a polypeptide chain. These molecules (tRNAs) play a fundamental role during translation.

If a tRNA had an AGC anticodon it could attach a codon having the sequence UCG.

During translation, tRNAs act at specific sites in a ribosome to synthesize a polypeptide chain (i.e., a protein) from an mRNA sequence.

The anticodon of the tRNA binds by base complementary to a triplet of nucleotides or 'codon' in the messenger RNA (mRNA) during protein synthesis (i.e., translation).

According to the base complementarity rules, in RNA, Adenine always pairs with Uracile (Thymine in DNA), whereas Guanine always pairs with Cytosine.

Please Help. Compare the energy input and output for nuclear fission and nuclear fusion.

Andrew [12]

Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions in which energy is released from high-powered atomic bonds between the particles within the nucleus. The main difference between these two processes is that fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller ones while fusion is the fusing of two or more smaller atoms into a larger one. Comparison chart Embed this chart Nuclear Fission, Nuclear Fission is the splitting of a large atom into two or more smaller ones. Fusion is the fusing of two or more lighter atoms into a larger one. Natural occurrence of the process: Fission reaction does not normally occur in nature. Fusion occurs in stars, such as the sun. Byproducts of the reaction: Fission produces many highly radioactive particles. Few radioactive particles are produced by fusion reaction, but if a fission "trigger" is used, radioactive particles will result from that. Conditions: Critical mass of the substance and high-speed neutrons are required. High density, high temperature environment is
