Answer:

1. d

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that the system of peer review is used to determine conclusively the conclusions of the paper.

The system of peer review refers to the process of evaluating a scientific report or paper by one or more independent scientists who have a similar background as the producer of the report or paper.

The reviewers evaluate the methodologies and various claims made by the original researcher and give feedback on their validity as well as make criticism of the paper in order to improve its quality before final publication. However, reviewers do not alter the claims or conclusions of papers, they can only query them.

Hence, options a, b, and c are correct as far as the peer review system is concerned.

The only incorrect option here is d.

2. There are 3 types of experiments, namely:

controlled experiment
field experiment
natural experiment

The controlled experiment involves the comparison of experimental group with control group. The two groups are subjected to the same conditions except for the variable whose effects are being researched.

The field experiment takes place outside the laboratory settings as opposed to other types of experiments. The subjects of the field experiment are studied in their natural environment outside the lab.

The natural experiment involves studying a phenomenon naturally without having control, unlike the controlled experiment. Observations are just recorded and are used to arrive at predictions or hypotheses.

Part 2:

Subject: 30 - 60 years old males

Control: Group B, the placebo group

Constant: Diet.

Independent variable: Administered drugs (choless and placebo)

Dependent variable: cholesterol level.

Part 3

Experiment 1:

a. Independent variable: types of detergent

b. dependent variable: height of foam

c. constant variables: amount of water, container type, temperature, period of agitation.

Experiment 2:

a. independent variable: amount of weight in each car

b. dependent variable: amount of gasoline left in each car

c. constant variable: car, type of gas, speed of car, distance covered by car.

Experiment 3

a. independent variable: amount of light

b. dependent variable: number of remnant bacterial cells after exposure to light

c. constant variable: initial number of bacteria, petri dish, type/amount of growth medium.

Experiment 4

a. independent variable: level of salinity

b. dependent variable: biomass of plant

c. constant variable: type of plant, period of growth, growth conditions.

*The key function of each of the two photosystems is to absorb light and convert the energy of the absorbed light into redox energy, which drives electron transport.

In PS II (the first photosystem in the sequence), P680 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes water), and the PS II primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces the electron transport chain between the photosystems).

In PS I, the PS I primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces other compounds that ultimately reduce NADP+ to NADPH), and P700 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes the electron transport chain between the photosystems).

g The Electron Transport Complex (ETC) consists of four proteins. How many of these proteins directly contribute to the proton g

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Three proteins directly contribute to the proton gradient by moving protons across the membrane

Explanation:

The Electron transport chain is a group of proteins and molecules incrusted in the internal mitochondrial membrane and organized into four complexes, I, II, III, and IV. These complexes contain the electron transporters and the enzymes necessary to catalyze the electron transference from one complex to the other. Complex I contains the flavine mononucleotide -FMN- that receives electrons from the NADH. The coenzyme Q, located in the lipidic interior of the membrane, conducts electrons from complex I and II to complex III. The complex III contains cytochrome b, from where electrons go to cytochrome c, which is a peripheric membrane protein. Electrons travel from cytochrome c to cytochromes a and a3, located in the complex IV. Finally, they go back to the matrix, where they combine to H+ ions and oxygen, to form the water molecule. As electrons are transported through the chain, protons are bombed through three proteinic complexes from the matrix to the intermembrane space. These are complexes I, III and IV.

How does substance A affect the amount of activstion energy needed by the process? Explain?

asambeis [7]

Answer:

Substance A affects the amount of the activation energy needed by the process by catalyzing the reaction. Enzymes are the natural biological catalyst that lowers the activation energy for a reaction to proceed faster at a low energy requirement.

Explanation:

The reactants in the solution react to form a product. For a reaction to happen some energy is needed. The energy which helps reactants to break some bonds and make other bonds to make a product is known as activation energy.

Enzymes are the biological molecules which lower this activation energy by catalyzing the reaction by helping in breaking old bonds and forming new bonds to create a product.
