DRY MASS OF CORN SEEDLINGS GROWN UNDER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS

Biology
1 answer:
PIT_PIT [208]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

(a) One of the inorganic sources of new plant mass for the light-grown plants is the atmosphere. The <u>carbon in the form of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is sequestrated into the body of the light-grown plants through a process known as photosynthesis</u>. During this process, the inorganic carbon dioxide becomes fixed into the body of the plant through a series of steps that include both light-dependent and light-independent. The overall equation of the process is as below:

6CO_2 + 6H_2O + Light --> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2

As more plant mass is being gained by photosynthesis, some of the gained mass is also being lost to energy generation through a process known as respiration.<u> Respiration is like the complete opposite of photosynthesis but a gain in mass is still possible because the rate of photosynthesis is more than the rate of respiration in the light-grown plants.</u>

(b) The chemical reaction that can be held responsible for the decrease in mass of the dark-grown plants is<u> respiration</u>. Some of the mass is lost to energy generation and this mass cannot be recouped by adequate photosynthesis due to light limitation. The energy is needed to metabolic processes that would keep the plants alive. The equation of respiration is as below:

C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2 --> 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + Energy

Use complete sentences to explain how the mass of hydrogen is conserved during cellular respiration.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The mass of hydrogen is conserved during cellular respiration as it follows the Law of Conservation of Matter. This shows that hydrogen has been conserved throughout the entire process (H representing Hydrogen) as the product has the same amount of hydrogen as the reactants.

The AMOUNT of carbon-dioxide atoms released by respiration are EXACTLY EQUAL to the atoms of these materials contained in the oxygen and carbon converted. In this way respiration has conserved the mass or material and in this way followed the law of conservation of mass.

What are the roles of producers consumers and decomposers in an ecosystem
mariarad [96]

Answer: The producers refers to green plants that carry out the process of photosynthesis in order to produce food for themselves and others. The principal function of producers is to manufacture food for themselves and all other living organisms.

The consumers refers to those living organisms that can not produce their own food and have to depend on the food produce by others. Consumers can be categorized into primary, secondary and tertiary consumers depending on where they are located on the trophic levels. They can also be classified as herbivores, carnivores and omnivores depending on the type of food they eat. The major function of consumers is transference of energy. Consumers transfer the energy they obtain from the food they eat to those animals that feed on them.

The decomposers are those micro organisms that are majorly found in soils.The principal function of decomposers is to break down dead organic matters so that they can be absorbed by the roots of plants. The broken down organic substances serve as nutrients, which the plants used to grow and develop.

These three types of organisms work together in the ecosystem to maintain the balance of the ecosystem.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The presence of proton pumps in the lysosome membrane that allows the organelle to maintain higher concentrations of protons.

Explanation:

Lysosomes are known as a membrane-bound cell organelle that is present in many animal cells. They are spherical type vesicles in structure. Lysosomes contain hydrolytic enzymes these enzymes help in the break down of different kinds of biomolecules.

The lysosomal membrane helps to protect the cytosol, and rest of the cells, from the degradative enzymes which are present in the lysosome. They have the ability to maintains their pH by pumping in H+ ions (protons) from the cytosol across the membrane with the help of chloride ion channels and proton pumps.

Lana71 [14]

Answer: correct: The CAP-cAMP complex unbends the DNA loop, thereby allowing binding of RNA polymerase

Explanation:

The CAP-cAMP complex unfolds the DNA loop, allowing the binding of RNA polymerase. The catabolite activating protein, when bound with cAMP, is known to stimulate the transcription of the operon lactose genes, being necessary for the reaction RNA polymerase
