Answer:
Smaller the size of the DNA fragment, farther it moves during electrophoresis. The sketch of the position of the fragments has been drawn in the figure below.
Explanation:
As we know DNA is a negatively charged molecule. So during electrophoresis the fragments move towards the positive electrode because opposite charges attract each other.
Different fragment move different distances according to their size during the electrophoresis. Smallest segment travels the largest distance in the gel medium while the largest one travels least distance.
In the question there are four DNA fragments with base pairs 4000, 2500, 2000 and 400 so the smallest segment with 400bp will be farthest from the starting point and the largest fragment with 4000bp will travel least distance in the gel medium. Their respective positions are shown in the figure below. The starting point is near the negative electrode.
The graph of y = -2x + 3 is a straight line
Its slope is - 2
Its y-intercept is + 3
To draw the line you can use these two points (0,3) and (3/2 , 0)
This line does ont pass through the third quadrant. It comes downward from the second quadrant, touches the y-axis at y =3, continues on the rirst quadrant, touches the x-axis at x = 3/2, and contiues into the fourth quadrant.
Graph of its inverse
Exchange y and x in the given function and solve for the new y
x = - 2y + 3 => y = - x/2 + 3/2
It is also a straight line;
Its slope is -1/2
Its y-intercept is 3/2
It is also in the second, first and fourth quadrant
Use these two points to draw the line (0,3/2) and (3,0).
You do not need to know to draw this, but the inverse of a function is its reflection through the line y =x.
Answer:
D. Clear-cutting would increase the amount of carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere
Explanation:
Plants including trees are organisms that help maintain the balance of carbon in the carbon cycle. They do this via the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS, which is the way they obtain their energy and carbon source. During photosynthesis, trees (plants) absorb carbon in form of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air through the STOMATA on their leaves.
CO2 is an input substance in order for photosynthesis to occur. In a case where all the trees (plants) of a forest has been clear cut or removed, there will be no organisms to directly absorb the carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere via respiration. Hence, the amount of carbon dioxide found in the atmosphere would increase.
Coccus-shaped bacteria can be found in pairs, chains, squares of four, cubes of eight, or grape like clusters. More specificially, this type of bacteria found in pairs is called diplococcia, in chains is called streptococci, in squares of four is called tetrads, in cubes of eight is called sarcinae, and in grape like clusters called staphylocci.
