In spherocytosis, there is a defect in the membrane proteins of the red blood cells, specifically ankyrin and spectrin. These membrane proteins contribute to the biconcave shape of red blood cells therefore the loss of these proteins will lead the red blood cells to lose its biconcave shape--leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells (spheres) hence the name. This can lead to premature destruction of red blood cells and jaundice due to hyperbilirubinemia. Spherocytes do not hold oxygen and carbon dioxide well as spherocytes have a decreased surface area.
.Oxygen free environments
.Concentrated salt water and hot
. Acidic water of sulfur springs
Chloroplasts
In plants and algae, which developed much later, photosynthesis occurs in a specialized intracellular organelle—the chloroplast. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis during the daylight hours. The immediate products of photosynthesis, NADPH and ATP, are used by the photosynthetic cells to produce many organic molecules. I have taken the test before
Answer :
Option A is your answer
Difference between nitrification and dentrification
Explanation:
Nitrification and denitrification are part of the nitrogen cycle
Nitrification is the process of conversion of ammonium to nitrate by nitrifying bacteria like Nitrobacter and Nitrosomonas
Denitrification is the process of reduction of nitrate to nitrogen gas by denitrifying bacteria like Pseudomonos, Lactobacillus etc.
Nitrifying bacteria are autotrophs and grows slowly and need aerobic condition. Denitrifying bacteria are hetertrophs and grows rapidly and need anaerobic conditions.
Nitrification requires a pH of about 6.5 to 8.0; denitrification takes place at 7.0 to 8.5
Nitrification provides soluble nitrates readily available in the soil to be easily absorbed by the roots.
Denitrification processes are used in wastewater or effluent treatment plants.
