Question

An agricultural biologist was evaluating two newly developed varieties of wheat as potential crops. In an experiment, seedlings were germinated on moist paper towels at 20ºC for 48 hours. Oxygen consumption of the two-day-old seedlings was measured at different temperatures. The data are shown in the graph below. In a second experiment, variety A seedlings at both temperatures were treated with a chemical that prevents NADH from being oxidized to NAD+. Predict the most likely effect of the chemical on metabolism and oxygen consumption of the treated seedlings. Explain your prediction.

Answer 1

Answer:

The definition is listed in the clarification segment below, and according to the present circumstances.

Explanation:

It undergoes different morphological as well as biochemical modifications mostly during germination. Product contains nutrients and even some hydrolases such as energy, carbohydrates. Owing to the availability of phytic compounds, the seed coat seems to be very durable in nature. Hydrolytic enzymes launch their function by consuming oxygen throughout order to remove this hard coating. In several other processes, including the electron transport system as well as the Kreb process, oxygen also becomes necessary.

• The initial phase of germinating seeds requires anaerobic environments where even the enzymes dehydrogenase can function. The subsequent dehydrogenase enzyme brings the electron throughout the electron transport system from either the base to oxygen.  
• Unless the oxygen frequency is compared with varieties A and B, it can be seen through the analysis that variety B actually absorbed more oxygen. Oxygen intake rates are also depending upon period.
• The impact of temperature mostly on absorption of oxygen seems to be present. Shift the supply at low temperatures have a low intake of oxygen, while varieties grown over extreme temperatures use much more oxygen. The metabolism of such a seedling is influenced by temperature. Metabolically active young plants display a larger intake of oxygen.
