Difference between Alpha, Beta and Gamma Radioactive Decay. Difference between Alpha, Beta and Gamma radioactive decay can be summarized as follows: Alpha decay forms new element with two fewer protons and two fewer neutrons; Beta decay forms new element with one more proton and one fewer neutron.

Which of the following statements correctly describes some aspect of ATP hydrolysis being used to drive the active transport of
saw5 [17]

Answer:

B) This is an example of energy coupling

Explanation:

Energy coupling is a process by which cells carry out thermodynamically unfavorable, endergonic (energy-requiring) reactions to other exergonic (reactions that liberate free energy) reactions.

Reactions which are endergonic do not occur spontaneously as they result in a decrease in entropy and a positive free energy change, ∆G.

Exergonic reactions occur spontaneously as they result in an increase in entropy and have a negative free energy change, ∆G.

For example, the active transport of ions against their concentration gradients in cells is a non-spontaneous endergonic process which is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP, an exergonic process in other for the reaction to proceed. ATP hydrolysis phosphorylates an amino acid side chain in the transport protein which then drives the forward process of transport of the ion.

Considering the above,

Option A: The hydrolysis of ATP is endergonic, and the active transport is exergonic is false because ATP hydrolysis is exergonic while active transport is endergonic.

Option B: This is an example of energy coupling is true.

Option C: Both ATP hydrolysis and active transport are spontaneous because they result in an increase in entropy of the system is false because only ATP hydrolysis is spontaneous

Option D: Neither ATP hydrolysis nor active transport is spontaneous is false because ATP hydrolysis is spontaneous.

Option E: ATP is acting as a transport protein to facilitate the movement of the ion across the plasma membrane is false because ATP is not a protein, rather it serves to activate the transport protein by phosphorylating it.

Answer:

To me we wouldn't know as much as we do. There is so much they don't want us to know about space. Just watch the moon at night and you can get a better answer.

A scientist isolated the Hepatitis B surface protein gene and introduced it into the DNA of a banana plant. The scientist tested
omeli [17]

Answer:

A. The gene for surface protein was transcribed and translated.

Explanation:

Because all living organisms use the same genetic code, it is possible to express genes from one organism in the other. In this case, the DNA sequence that corresponds to the hepatitis B surface protein gene has been inserted into the banana, and the protein is expressed.

For the protein to be expressed, the gene must have been successfully transcribed into an mRNA by the banana plant machinery. This mRNA has then been translated into a protein that means the hepatitis B surface protein is now present in the cell.
