Use your knowledge of osmosis to explain why the mass of each cube increased.

Biology

Osmosis passes from a medium with a high concentration of water molecules to another with a low concentration of water molecules and since the potato has low water concentration so the water transfers to it increasing its mass

Cultures of a bacterial species were incubated out on the incubator shelf, in an anaerobic jar, and in a candle jar. After incub
Mila [183]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Facultative anaerobes are bacteria who used to grow in the aerobic condition but when oxygen becomes deficient they can switch to anaerobic mode and obtain energy through fermentation. So facultative anaerobe normally lives in aerobic condition but can survive in anaerobic conditions too.

So as facultative anaerobes normally grows in aerobic condition they grow well in incubator shelf but in anaerobic condition like anaerobic jar or in a candle jar they will show moderate growth because it is not the ideal condition for them to grow. Therefore the statement is true.

Which of the following are true statements concerning enzymes?
MissTica

Answer:

B. Enzymes generally catalyze only very specific biochemical reactions.

E. Most enzymes are proteins composed of amino acids

F. The cells of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes all contain enzymes.

G. If the active site of an enzyme is altered, the enzyme is unable to catalyze the biochemical reaction.

Explanation:

Enzymes refers to substances that acts as a catalyst in living organisms. They regulate the rate at which chemical reactions proceed without being altered in the process. Enzymes regulate the biological process that occur within living organisms.

Enzymes catalyze all aspects of cell metabolism such as digestion of food, conservation and transformation of chemical energy and the construction of cellular macromolecules from smaller precursors.

Application of enzymes

1. Industrial application

2. Medical application

1. Enzymes can be used for industrial application such as beer brewing, wine fermentation, bread leavening.

2. Enzyme can also be applied in the medical aspects for killing disease-causing microorganisms, promoting wound healing, and diagnosing some diseases.

What is the potential energy in the thylakoid membrane used for?
liubo4ka [24]

The right answer is to perform photosynthesis (more precisely to convert ADP to ATP by ATP synthase).

Light comes to us in the form of photons. These photons have a different energy potential depending on their wavelength.

When a pigment picks up a photon corresponding to its absorption capacity, one of its electrons goes into the excited state. This energy can be transmitted in 3 ways: either by spreading it in the form of photon or heat; both ways lose energy. The third is to transmit resonance energy and there is almost no loss of energy.

A photosystem consists of a reaction center and a collector antenna to optimize the absorption of photons triggering photochemical reactions in order to operate the ATP synthase to produce ATP in the presence of a hydrogen gradient.
