An important piece of information in the management of a person infected with a chronic virus such as HIV is his/her "viral load

" or how many virus particles can be detected. If before PCR, a patient had a viral load of 1.6 x 104 viral particles. What would be the amount of DNA in the sample after the completion of the first PCR cycle?

Answer:

the answer is 3.2 x 10⁴

Explanation:

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique widely used in molecular biology to exponentially amplify a specific DNA sample from a small amount of DNA. For this purpose, the PCR technique uses: 1- a DNA polymerase enzyme in order to synthesize new DNA copies and 2- one pair of DNA oligonucleotides (primers) which are complementary to the ends of the target DNA sequence. During each round of PCR, the double-stranded DNA template is unwound and each strand is used to synthesize a new DNA strand, thereby forming two new double-stranded DNA molecules. In consequence, each round of PCR doubles the amount of DNA.

Answer:

38. Chlorophyll's job in a plant is to absorb light—usually sunlight. The energy absorbed from light is transferred to two kinds of energy-storing molecules. Through photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar.

39. The energy from light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas

40. Without enough light, a plant cannot photosynthesise very quickly - even if there is plenty of water and carbon dioxide and a suitable temperature. Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor - a limiting factor - becomes in short supply.

41. Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
