Hemlocks are a common type of tree in the northern forests of the United States. In studying one forest, a forester noticed that

mature hemlocks were abundant but there were very few young hemlocks. She wondered why there were so few young hemlocks. By reading the records that other foresters in that area had kept, she learned that the population of deer living in the forest had doubled in the last five years. By reading studies on forests that other scientists had performed, she also learned that deer in similar forests like to eat young hemlocks and the young trees of other species. In the scenario, the forester wonders why one forest had many mature hemlocks but very few young hemlocks. Which part of a scientific method does this best illustrate?
A. forming a hypothesisB. making an observation and asking a questionC. communicating the results of a studyD. setting up an experiment

Answer:

b. making an observation and asking a question

Explanation:

In scientific method there need to be a situation to be study. In this description, the scientist first observed that in a certain region there is some kind of trees and the other variable is the great amount of deer.

After making different observations, and some research of other areas similar to the one that is study, she is asking what is the relation among the animals and the trees.

The next step will be to formulate a hypothesis using all the data and the two variables that she observed.

In this week's experiments, if you replaced glucose with the monosaccharide fructose, predict the results for fructose transport
lbvjy [14]

Answer: Fructose is transported by facilitated diffusion.

Explanation:

Glucose is a monosaccharide with the molecular formula C6H12O6.3 It is a hexose. It is a form of sugar that is found freely in fruits and in honey. Its energy yield is 3.75 Kcal/g under standard conditions.

Fructose is a type of carbohydrate found in vegetables, fruits, and honey. It is a monosaccharide with the same molecular formula as glucose, C6H12O6, but with a different structure, that is, it is an isomer of glucose. Its energetic power is the same as that of glucose, 4 kilocalories per gram, and it is a reducing carbohydrate.

Glucose is the main energy substance of a cell and for its entry  it requires a transport protein in the cell membrane, called transporter. The transport of glucose through the cell membrane is carried out by two families of membrane proteins:

  • Sodium-coupled glucose transporters (SGLT sodium-glucose-transporters), which involves the co-transport of Na+ by the SGLT-1 by maintaining the Na+ gradient thanks to the Na+/K+ pump
  • Glucose transport facilitation proteins (GLUT)

On the other hand,  fructose is absorbed by another type of transporter, called Glut-5, a protein that crosses the membrane 12 times. Finally, the passage of both glucose and fructose into the blood takes place through the Glut-2, a transporter with low affinity and high transport capacity.

If any Glut is considered within the context of a large family of proteins, it can be immediately noticed that they all possess common characteristics that in biochemical terms are called "molecular signature of glucose transporters" and that it is no more than a set of extremely conserved primary amino acidic sequences that determine secondary and tertiary structures (domains or motifs) that are responsible for the functional characteristics of the protein.

<u>Facilitated diffusion is a type of cellular transport where the presence of a carrier or transporter (integral protein, Glut is this example</u>)<u> is necessary for substances to cross the membrane.</u> It happens because the molecules are larger or insoluble in lipids and need to be transported with the help of membrane proteins. So, in the first step, fructose binds to the transport protein, and this changes shape, allowing the passage of this sugar. In this way, fructose concentrations inside the cell are always very low, and the external and internal concentration gradient favours diffusion.

Summarizing, fructose is transported by facilitated diffusion. So if we replaced glucose with fructose we would have seen no change in each conditions. And since fructose is transported by this type of mechanism, there is not a concentration gradient.

Why is it more important to check for errors during dna replication than during translation?
marshall27 [118]
I think the answer would be because if there is an error in the DNA replication, it would affect one generation of cells. if the error would fall in the transcription or translation, there would only be one cell affected.
