Mode of Action of the Herbicide DCMU When chloroplasts are treated with 3-(3,4- dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea (DCMU, or diuro

n), a potent herbicide, O2 evolution and photophosphorylation cease. Oxygen evolution, but not photophosphorylation, can be restored by addition of an external electron acceptor, or Hill reagent. How does DCMU act as a weed killer

Answer:

It acts as a weed killer by blocking photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is important to plants because it is their principal form of energy.

When DCMU is introduced to weeds, what it does is to block or slow down the process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide fixation is slowed down causing weeds to die off. DCMU strongly slows down photosystem II. When this is done, lipid and protein membranes would get destroyed and the weed cells would begin to dry and shed off

Which statement is the correct contrast to the mistaken idea of spontaneous generation?
kramer

All organisms reproduce either sexually or asexually is the correct contrast to the mistaken idea of spontaneous generation

C . all the organisms reproduce either sexually or asexually

<u>Explanation:</u>

The organism could not arise only through the sexually and the asexual reproduction but it is also reproduced through the process of spontaneous generation.

The essential character is offspring is while mother supply is the only solid substrates. The reproduction also takes place by either the egg of the mother or the sperm of the father and began to grow when it is stimulated. Spontaneous generation is defined as the living creature that could arise from nonliving matter.

GarryVolchara [31]
I believe the answer is Yy. Although Y represents the dominant trait for yellow, it being paired with the recessive trait, y, has the chance of a plant with green seeds to be produced in the next generation.

When muscle tissue dies, it usually is replaced with dense collagenous connective tissue. How do these tissues differ in structu
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Damaged muscle tissue is replaced by fibrous scar tissue. This is called as 'Fibrosis'. Thicker than the surrounding tissue, scar tissue is paler and denser because it has a limited blood supply; although it takes the place of damaged or destroyed tissue, it is limited in function, including movement, circulation, and sensation.

Dense irregular connective tissue contains fibroblasts scattered amongst randomly oriented collagen fibers, whereas muscular tissues contain multinucleated muscle cells that are able to contract upon stimulation. Because the connective tissue cells cannot contract, the muscle will lose strength, and so muscle function will become impaired.
