The N-terminal tail of histone H3 can be extensively modified, and depending on the number, location, and combination of these m

odifications, these changes may promote the formation of heterochromatin. What is the result of heterochromatin formation

Answer:

Repression of gene expression  

Explanation:

Heterochromatin is formed by highly-packed DNA regions. A functional consequence of heterochromatin formation is that these regions become inaccessible to transcription factors, thereby inhibiting gene transcription (genes in these regions are 'switched off'). Heterochromatin is formed by epigenetic modifications added to histone tails that form nucleosomes, i.e., histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. The epigenetic marks include, among others, acetylation and methylation.

Which of the following is not used by plants for photosynthesis?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: oxygen

Explanation:

The photosynthesis equation is:

water+carbon dioxide + sunlight—> glucose + oxygen

Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis, not used in the process.

Carbon dioxide and water are both used in the process, and chlorophyll traps light energy from the sun.

Hope this helped!

The average human body contains 6.10 L of blood with a Fe2+ concentration of 1.50×10−5 M . If a person ingests 12.0 mL of 14.0 m
Crank

Answer: The percentage of iron(II) in the blood sequestered by the cyanide ion is 18.4%

Explanation:

Having the reaction NaCN(ac) + Fe2+ ⇒ CNFe + Na+ ; you could follow this procedure:

1. Find the number of moles of Fe2+ in the 6.10L of blood and the number of moles of CN- in the 0.012L (0.012L=12mL) solution.

First, notice that <u>the amount of CN- moles in the 12mL solution is the same as if we were looking for the amount of moles NaCN</u> in the solution. This is because most sodium salts dissociate completely in aqueous solution.

Then having the Molar concentrations of both CN- and Fe2+:

<u><em> Fe2+ concentration =</em></u> 1.5x10^{-5} M = 1.5x10^{-5}moles (n)/L

<u><em> Moles de Fe2+ en 6.01L=</em></u> (1.5x10^{-5}moles (n)/L)*6.01L= 9.15x10^{-5} moles

<em><u> NaCN or CN- concentration =</u></em> 14mM=0,0014M=(0,0014n/L)

<u><em> Moles de CN- en 0,012L=</em></u> (0,0014n/L)*0,012L= 1.68x10^{-5} moles

2. Understand how many moles of Fe2+ are sequestered by CN- :

Beacause 1 mol of CN- react (sequester) with 1 mol of Fe2+ to form 1 mol of CNFe, then 1.68x10^{-5} moles of <u><em>CN- is going to sequester 1.68x10^{-5} moles of Fe2+</em></u> to form 1.68x10^{-5} moles of CNFe.

3. Calculate the percentage of Fe2+ sequestered:

% Fe2+ = (moles of Fe2+ sequestered/Total moles of Fe2+ in the blood)*100

⇒ % Fe2+ = (1.68x10^{-5}) / (9.15x10^{-5})=0.184*100 = 18.4% Percentage of Fe2+ moles sequestered by cyanide ion (CN-).

A scientist extracts a molecule from a cell that includes phosphorus, a nitrogen base and a sugar. What macromolecule did the sc
rewona [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The correct answer would be <u>Nucleic Acid</u>.

A typical nucleic acid has 3 components which include:

  1. A purine or pyrimidine nitrogenous base
  2. A phosphate group
  3. A 5-carbon sugar

The purine base includes adenine and guanine while the pyrimidine base includes thymine/uracil and cytosine. The 5-carbon sugar could be ribose or deoxyribose depending on if the nucleic acid is ribonucleic or deoxyribonucleic acid.

<em>The only macromolecule that contains the 3 components of the options A to D is the nucleic acid. Hence, the correct option is </em><em>D.</em>

As a cell gets larger, the internal volume enlarge and consequently the cell membrane has to expand.And so when the volume increases, the amount of surface area that is available to surpass the materials in a cell steadily decreases.So,the surface area to the volume ratio would get smaller if the cell gets bigger. The answer is C.
