How does gene therapy work to reverse the causes of cancer we learned about today?

Biology
1 answer:
tatiyna3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

In gene transfer, researchers introduce a foreign gene directly into cancer cells or into surrounding tissue. The goal is that the newly inserted gene will cause the cancer cells to die or prevent cancer cells and surrounding tissue from funneling blood to tumors, depriving them of nutrients they need for survival.

A scientist is using a species of green algae to study the electron transport chain in photosynthesis. He uses a laser to inacti
jeka94

Answer:

D) In case 1, both PS I and PS II completely lose function; in case 2, a proton gradient is still produced.

Explanation:

The light dependent reaction of photosynthesis, which produces the ATP and NADPH needed in the light independent stage of the process, includes complexes of proteins and pigments called PHOTOSYSTEMS. These photosystems (I and II) are key to the functionality of the light dependent reactions in the thylakoid.

The major pigment present in both photosystems is CHLOROPHYLL A, which absorbs light energy and transfers electrons to the reaction center. Chlorophyll B is only an accessory pigment meaning it can be done without. Hence, if all of the chlorophyll A is inactivated in the algae but leaves chlorophyll B intact as in case 1, both PS I and PS II will lose their function because Chlorophyll A is the major pigment that absorbs light energy in both photosystems.

In case 2, if PS I is inhibited and PS II is unaffected, a PROTON GRADIENT WILL STILL BE PRODUCED because the splitting of water into protons (H+) and electrons (e-) occurs in PSII. Hence, H+ ions can still be pumped into the inner membrane of the thylakoid in order to build a proton gradient even without the occurrence of PS I.

Which molecule prevents a muscle contraction from occurring when the muscle is at rest?
AysviL [449]

Troponin-tropomyosin molecules prevents a muscle contraction from occurring when the muscle is at rest.

<h3>What is muscle contraction?</h3>

The activation of tension-producing regions within muscle cells results in muscular contraction. Because muscle tension can be created without changes in muscle length, such as when holding something heavy in the same position, muscle contraction does not always imply muscle shortening in physiology. Muscle relaxation, or the return of the muscular fibers to their low tension-generating state, occurs after a muscle contraction has finished.

Both length and tension can be used to characterize muscle contractions. If the muscle tension varies but the muscle length doesn't, the muscle contraction is said to be isometric. A muscle contraction is isotonic, however, if the tension in the muscle remains constant during the contraction.

To learn more about muscle contraction with the help of given link:

melamori03 [73]

Answer: d. The ecosystem reached its carrying capacity, and was not able to support continued population growth.

Explanation:

The carrying capacity can be defined as the maximum population size of the species that habitat or ecosystem can support or sustain on the basis of availability of food, water and other necessities. This is an important factor which keeps a balance of the population of a species in a particular region or ecosystem.

On the basis of the above information, The ecosystem reached its carrying capacity, and was not able to support continued population growth is the correct option to level off the rising populating of the birds.
