Answer:

DNA replication is the process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules. The replication process relies on the fact that each strand of DNA can serve as a template for duplication. DNA replication initiates at specific points, called origins, where the DNA double helix is unwound. A short segment of RNA, called a primer, is then synthesized and acts as a starting point for new DNA synthesis. An enzyme called DNA polymerase next begins replicating the DNA by matching bases to the original strand. Once synthesis is complete, the RNA primers are replaced with DNA, and any gaps between newly synthesized DNA segments are sealed together with enzymes. Once the DNA in a cell is replicated, the cell can divide into two cells, each of which has an identical copy of the original DNA.

If ATP breakdown (hydrolysis) is inhibited, which of the following types of movement across cell membranes is also inhibited?

Len [333]

Answer:

d) passage of a solute against its concentration gradient

Explanation:

When a solute is transported against its concentration gradient, the cells use metabolic energy. To move a substance from the region of its lower concentration to that of its higher concentration, the energy of ATP hydrolysis is utilized. These types of transport mechanisms are called active transports. If ATP hydrolysis is inhibited in a cell, it would not be able to perform the uphill movement of solutes due to the lack of any source of energy to drive the process.

Discuss the Conditions necessary to cause water to diffuse out of a cell

sammy [17]

When water molecules diffuse through a cell membrane this process is called the osmosis. Water molecules are extremely small and because of this they can slip freely through the gaps between the phospholipids in the cell membrane. And as a result, water molecules can constantly move back and forth though the cell 
membrane. This movement of water has a very important function and that is it enables cells to absorb water.

Now for a movement of water molecules to happen, there should be a concentration gradient in the surrounding. That is, the amount of water in one side must be different on the other side.

For water to diffuse INTO the cell, the amount of water outside the cell membrane should be larger than the amount of water inside the side.

What evolutionary adaptation allowed plants to grown large and above water?

Anna35 [415]

Evolutionary adaptations like fertilization, cuticle, stomata, and vascular tissue helps plants to grow on land.

Explanation:

There are various ways through which plants evolved and grown above water. First is that in plants, the embryo develops inside the female body after the process of fertilization. Second, with time, the cuticle helped the plant to seal water and prevent water loss.

Stomata evolved with time to retain water and exchange gases — lastly, the vascular tissue which is responsible for transporting water, food, and nutrients in plants
