Name one likely outcome if the mitochondria in a cell stopped working (NEED ANSWER ASAP)

Biology

Answer:

You will die.

Explanation:

All living organisms need carbohydrates for their cellular functions. When we consume carbohydrates, our bodies break down glucose in the mitochondria to make ATP. If your mitochondria stopped working you wouldn’t be able to convert the food you eat into ATP for cellular functions. All the cells in your body require a constant supply of energy. Without ATP, you will quickly experience fatigue. Not long after that your bodily systems will begin to shut down and you will die, because cells can’t function without energy.

Answer:

If your mitochondria fails then it will be extremely hard to covert the food into ATP. For cells that require a lot of energy like your muscles , the lack of ATP will cause you to start to fatigue. In extreme cases, infants die in the first year because no cell can work without energy.

F.Y.I   ATP is just a fancy way of saying energy!

A DNA fragment is introduced into the lacZ gene of a plasmid, which also contains an ampicillin resistance gene. What is the app
zhenek [66]

Answer: The bacteria transformed with this particular plasmid will form white colonies on the plates containing ampicillin and Xgal.

Explanation: The lacZ gene produces an enzyme called β-galactosidase which is responsible for the breakdown of lactose into glucose and galactose. The lacZ gene is one of the three genes (the other two being lacA and lacY) of the lac operon which is responsible for the transport and mechanism of lactose in E. coli and many other bacteria.

In recombinant DNA technology, when a plasmid is to be used to transform a host cell, such markers are used to help screen the transformed cells from the ones that have not taken up the plasmid. Xgal present in the plates is an artificial substrate which is hydrolyzed by

β-galactosidase into 5-bromo-4-chloro-indoxyl which will dimerize and oxidise into 5,5'-dibromo-4,4'dichloro-indigo. This is a blue pigment which will give blue color to the bacterial cells. Introducing a DNA fragment in this lacZ gene will make it non-functional so it will not be able to produce the enzyme.

Therefore, when a bacterial cell is transformed with a plasmid containing ampicillin resistance gene and a DNA fragment introduced in the lacZ gene and then grown on plates containing ampicillin and Xgal, white colored colonies will appear. The white colonies will show the bacterial cells that have successfully taken up the plasmid with the DNA fragment incorporated in the lacZ gene as this will render the gene non-functional and will not produce β-galactosidase which will breakdown Xgal to give blue colonies. Since the plates contain ampicillin, only the bacterial cells that have been successfully transformed with the plasmid ( the ones that have the DNA fragment and the ones without it) will grow as the ampicillin resistance will give them resistance against ampicillin in the plates. The bacterial cells that have not taken up the plasmid will not be resistant to ampicillin and will not form colonies on the plate.

This is called blue-white screening which is used to identify successfully transformed host cells. A picture of this is given in the attachment, taken from the following website:
