What happens during Go phase of the cell cycle?

During transcription, the two DNA strands unwind and separate. Free ribonucleotides combine to the corresponding bases in the template strand, which is one of the separated DNA strands. These ribonucleotides will form a mRNA, which can leave the nucleus and enter the cytoplasm.

In cytoplasm, mRNA will be translated into protein by ribosomes. During translation, the mRNA inside the ribosome will be attached to tRNA molecules, which will then attract specific amino acids. Different tRNA molecules bond with the corresponding segments of the mRNA and different amino acids will be joining together by peptide bond. A protein is then produced.

Identify an example organism for each type of cellular respiration: aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, and fermentation

Julli [10]

Answer:

Anaerobic respiration-" The process by which cells that do not breathe oxygen liberate energy from fuel to power their life functions."

These organisms also use an electron transport chain to generate as much ATP as possible from their fuel, but their electron transport chains extract less energy than those of aerobic respiration because their electron acceptors are weaker. The Staphylococcus aureus and Lactococcus lactis are two organism which performs anaerobic respiration.

Aerobic respiration-"The process by which oxygen-breathing creatures turn fuel, such as fats and sugars, into energy."

Organisms who performs aerobic respiration:

Most of the living beings humans etc.

Fermentation:"The metabolic process by which organic molecules (normally glucose) are converted into acids, gases, or alcohol in the absence of oxygen or any electron transport chain."

Mechanism-" The main porpuse is to convert NADH back into the coenzyme NAD⁺ so that it can be used again for glycolysis."

During fermentation, an organic electron acceptor reacts with NADH to form NAD⁺, generating products such as carbon dioxide and ethanol or lactate in the process.

Types-

Ethanol fermentation,
Lactic acid fermentation.

Explanation:

Difference between Aerobic and anaerobic respiration:

In anaerobic cells, however, respiration typically takes place in the cell’s cytoplasm, since most anaerobic cells do not have specialized organelles.
In aerobic cells, the electron transport chain, and most of the chemical reactions of respiration, occur in the mitochondria.

Steps of Aerobic Respiration:

1. Glycolysis. In aerobic cells, the equation for glycolysis is:

Glucose + 2 HPO₄²⁻- + 2 ADP³⁻ + 2 NAD⁺ → 2 Pyruvate⁻ + 2 ATP⁴⁻-+ 2 NADH + 2 H⁺ + 2 H₂O,

2. Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate

2 (Pyruvate⁻ + Coenzyme A + NAD⁺ → Acetyl CoA + CO₂ + NADH),

3. Citric acid cycle

2 (Acetyl CoA + 3 NAD⁺ + FAD + GDP³⁻ + HPO₄²⁻ + 2H₂O → 2 CO₂ + 3 NADH + FADH₂ + GTP⁴⁻ + 2H⁺ + Coenzyme A),

4. Oxidative phosphorylation

34 (ADP³⁻ + HPO₄²⁻ + NADH + 1/2 O₂ + 2H+ → ATP⁴⁻ + NAD⁺ + 2 H₂O)

Electron Transport Chain Steps- These four complexes actively transfer electrons from an organic metabolite, such as glucose. When the metabolite breaks down, two electrons and a hydrogen ion are released and then picked up by the co-enzyme NAD+ to become NADH, releasing a hydrogen ion into the cytosol.

Complex I: The complex-structured proteins embedded in the phospho-lipid membrane.
Continuing onto Complex II,
Traversed to Complex III,
Cytochrome c via co-enzyme Q,
And then finally to Complex IV.

Note-By-products from other cycles and processes, like the citric acid cycle, amino acid oxidation, and fatty acid oxidation, are used in the electron transport chain. As seen in the overall redox reaction,

2 H+ + 2 e+ + ½ O₂ → H₂O + energy

Which advantages do feathers provide for birds?

Lunna [17]

Answer: Option A.

Explanation:

Feathers are the epidermal growths which form the distinctive outer covering, or plumage of birds and several other vertebrates.

The major function of feather is to provide heat to the body which is possible by two ways light insulation (radiation) and conduction. In light insulation, feather of birds have the property of light scattering that allows to diffuse thermal radiation to keep the body of birds warm, results in heat conservation while in conduction, layer of air is trapped in the furs of feather which slowly heated the bodies of animals or birds.

Hence, the correct option is A.
