Answer:

1. The pathway of a red blood cell from the right ventricle to the brain is:

<em>Right ventricle → pulmonary arteries → lungs → pulmonary veins → left atrium → left ventricle → artery aorta → arterial vessels → brain .</em>

2. The substance that forms hemoglobin in red blood cells when it passes through the lungs is oxyhemoglobin.

Explanation:

Red blood cells are structures present in the blood, whose function is to transport oxygen (O₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). This process requires travel throughout the body, through the blood vessels, and gas exchange at the pulmonary and tissue level.

1. A red blood cell in the right ventricle contains carbon dioxide and must pass to the lungs to be oxygenated. The route it takes from there includes Right ventricle (minor circulation) → pulmonary arteries → lungs → pulmonary veins → left atrium → left ventricle → (joining the major circulation) artery aorta → arterial vessels → brain .

2. The red blood cell or erythrocyte contains a molecule, called hemoglobin, which has an iron core that allows it to bind to O₂ and CO₂ in order to transport them. The affinity for one molecule or another depends on the presence of a certain gas in a certain place.

When the red blood cell passes through the lungs, the concentration of O₂ is higher than CO₂, so the latter is released and O₂ binds to hemoglobin, a conjugation that is called oxyhemoglobin.

Oh, no... you dropped your study flashcards, and now they're out of order! Put them back into the correct order for a eukaryotic

Vladimir79 [104]

The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Oh, no... you dropped your study flashcards, and now they're out of order! Put them back into the correct order for a eukaryotic cell.

a. "Combine the mRNA strand with a ribosome and a tRNA carrying a methionine."

b. "Unwind the DNA molecule near the promoter."

c. "Exit the nucleus to the cytoplasm."

d. "Transcribe the complementary RNA strand."

[Tip: you might want to work out the correct order on a piece of scratch paper before selecting from the options below.]

c - d - b - a

b - d - c - a

c - b - d - a

d - b - c - a

b - d - a - c

Answer:

The correct order would be b, d, c, a.

Explanation:

First unwinding of the molecule of DNA takes place close to the promoter. After that transcription of the complementary RNA strand takes place, then mRNA moves out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm. Ultimately, the combination of ribosome and tRNA carrying a methionine takes place with the mRNA.

The order is based upon the central dogma of the cell. Based on the central dogma concept, the transcription of the mRNA takes place in the first place, which then gets transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm in the eukaryotic cell. The unwinding of DNA takes place close to the sequence of the promoter for the process of transcription.

In the promoter region, various transcription factors are present and binding of RNA polymerase takes place with the template strand. The generated mRNA then get transported out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm. Post transcription, translation of mRNA takes place with the assistance of tRNA and ribosome. In the mRNA, the start codon generally codes for methionine because of which the tRNA that carries methionine identifies the start codon, and the process of translation gets initiated.

A researcher is carrying out an experiment where she labels a protein with a fluorescent tag (so she can visualize its location

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The protein likely travels through a common lumen shared by thylakoid membranes and grana, and cannot easily diffuse through the thylakoid membrane.

Explanation:

There is a lot of scientific research in which a specific molecule can be labeled with some fluorescent marker (usually carbon 14). This type of marking allows the researcher to make observations about the movement of these molecules, as you can see in the question above. About the research shown in the question, the researcher realized that the protein labeled with the fluorescent marker moved between the grana and was always in the lumen, so she can conclude that the selocomovement protein moved through the lumen that is shared between the tilacoid membranes and the grana.

What is the role of carbon storage in organisms?? Plz answer fast in paragraph form if possible

belka [17]

Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned. When humans burn fossil fuels to power factories, power plants, cars and trucks, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas.
