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

Which statement is true of natural populations?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Population is a collection of individuals of a species living in a defined area

Explanation:

Population:This is a collection of individuals of the same species occupying the same space and able to interbreed freely with one another when individuals of different sexes are brought together.

A species of animals may comprise a single cohesive population or may contain many geographical distinct populations.

Example:A population of Agama lizards in a Campus located in China.The whole human race, Homo sapiens comprising the black, Mongolian,red and white is a population.A population of <u>Cercopithe</u><u>c</u><u>us</u> <u>erythrogaster</u><u> </u>(Monkeys).

Answer 1:

The mutation shown is point mutation.

A point mutation can be described as a type of mutation in which only a single nucleotide of a sequence is either:

  • changed
  • added
  • deleted

The addition of the single nucleotide will cause the entire open reading frame to be changed. The amino acid sequence will change entirely from the position where the insertion mutation occurs. This is because the code for making amino acids works on a three base pattern. The reading of the three bases will be altered completely by the addition of just a single nucleotide.

Answer 2:

No, the resulting protein will not be altered.

The genetic code occurs in a linear sequence with triplet format. The change in a single base will cause the wrong amino acids to be formed. However, if the different code is common for the same amino acid then there will be no effect on the amino acid being formed.

<em>For example, the code GUA makes the amino acid Valine. If a mutation occurs and the code becomes GUU instead of GUA, then the resulting amino acid formed will also be Valine. Hence, there will be no alternation in the formation of the protein.</em>

Answer 3:

Melanoma cancer is the type of skin cancer which is associated with cancer from sun light. It is mainly caused due to the harmful ultraviolet rays which act as a mutagen.

<em>The mutations might keep coming back because although the growth have been removed, the other skin cells of the body might still have the mutation in them. As a result, growth will be seen again in the skin cells which might occur again and again. </em>

Answer:

Nerve agent

Explanation:

A nerve agent is a chemical in which on exposure to humans affects the functioning of the nervous system. These chemicals are known to disrupt the process by which messages are transferred to the organs from the nerve. This disruption occurs by blocking the activity of acetylcholinesterase, which is responsible for the catabolism of a neurotransmitter, acetylcholine.  

On exposure to a nerve agent, the muscles of the body become paralyzed and early symptoms is production of excess mucous such as in runny nose, pupil constriction and also difficulty in breathing.

These agents are sometimes used in chemical warfare. Examples include sarin, tabun etc.
